      How are you supposed to even start to trust this. An image of Alec Guinness appears whilst the narrative goes on about Denis Price, a caption of Michael Redgrave appears over an image of Laurence Olivier. That takes ignorance to a new depth and stupidity to unimaginable heights

      @@alancharles6789Totally agree : this is truly a rubbish channel. Obviously not in the least interested in the subject matter as do zero research. If this was a school exam they would get E minus !! . Rather suspect they are kids who haven’t grown up yet : that would explain their lack of respect and maturity!! . Would like to think grown ups would act in a more responsible fashion ! Have reported so many of these crap videos to UA-cam since August and not one has been actioned on. Feel it’s a cosmetic exercise by YT who don’t care one iota as long as the money comes in! These creators ( for want of a better word ) are blatantly immune to community guidelines but the viewers aren’t. It’s hypocrisy at the highest level. Has anyone out there had success with reporting videos : would be interesting to know !

      Why does it bother you that people come out? You really don't understand why oppressed people break out of others imposed shackles. Sexuality is a core aspect of any individual. It involves to whom you love. It's not about a sexual act. That's a powerful expression of it of course.
      What it means by your statement, that you do not understand imprisonment.
      Thought experiment: Hide the fact you are straight. By that you deny ever being married- get a divorce, say your children are not yours publicly. Live everything that's precious to you in secret. The state is to deny your existence is valid: (kicked out of the military, lose your job, get raided by the police, charged- even if you were pivotal in a world war. Secretly contemplate suicide... and so on. Denied your pension, fair treatment under the law. Cut off from your family. It all adds up.
      The closet is not owned by the individual, but societies and individuals that enforce it. You wouldn't hide anything if you didn't haft to.

      Well, some gays have been forced to reveal it, and have had it revealed just by living a normal life -- talking about their partner's cooking, or explaining to a girl why he won't date her. One is forced out often by just living. I agree no one should be forced, but knowing I'm gay shouldn't get me arrested or denied an apartment, fired from a job, or beaten in an alley.

    I think I was in my late 20s back in the 80s when being gay and coming out was the thing for a lot of people, more and more celebrities were finally saying they were homosexual or lesbian. I thought at that time well it's their life what business it of mine. I still enjoy a good movie, a good song, no matter who is performing it. I've always been straight myself and don't really care what others do in their own bedrooms with others. I don't talk about my sex life and as long as we understand that it's cool.

    The feeling that one must hide their sexuality, simply to exist in society and then turning to alcohol/ drugs to cope with that constant stress, is a real tragedy. The heartening part in these stories is the fact that some still managed to have long-term dedicated partners.
    Healthy, supportive and loving relationships between adults are too rare in this World. It makes no sense to demand only heterosexual relationships are acceptable. Sexual attraction to others is personal and unique to everybody. Find the partner who reciprocates your feelings and give that same right to everybody else. Unless someone is getting hurt, it's not our business to judge.

      Because the notion of having to be closeted telegraphs that there is something wrong with being gay...that it need to be hidden. While it doesn't have huge consequences for mature adults, for young people struggling with their sexuality and the shame with having to hide their secret often leads to bad consequences. The more normal, healthy and visible gay role models there are, the safer it is for young people to be themselves.

At the very least he is saying that at the very least he wasn't adverse to trying it with other men (the real rumor was he and Sal Mineo had a fling during the making of REBEL and if you look at the way they look at each other in that film, Mineo looks like he adores Dean. And who knows what went on in the trailers on the set of GIANT, Anyone think Rock could have resisted inviting Jame Dean into his trailer during that filming? 😍
