Do not buy that Gene Kelly was gay. Sherman Hemsley somewhat famously lived with 2 women at the same time. The rest I agree with. Some are very obvious.
I am 83. I have never understood why someone must reveal their sexuality to anyone but a partner. What you do in the privacy of your home is none of my business. This is a ponderable that is on the list of things I plan to ask the Lord. I have 17 years to wait.
In the military I was asked point blank by an investigator in order to get a top secret clearance. They also came to my home town and interviewed people. I had to lie and since I was in the closet I got by.
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.
Many of the British actors mentioned Alec McCowan, Dennis Price, Michael Redgrave kept their sensuality hidden during their careers because homosexuality was illegal in England until 1967 so sharing their sensuality would have resulted in prison terms.
So sad to hear about Tommy Kirk. He was one of my favorite actors as a kid. I could care less about his sexuality, I just thought he was extremely handsome and a great actor.
When I found out Ricard Chamberlain was gay, I was upset for a month! At 13, that was a big deal to me, now, I could care less. Still love him and his acting! ❤️🇨🇦
That kiss with Tuesday weld, left a mark on my young soul. I remember telling my sister,I want to be kissed like that.swoon. ------ * don't look at me,she replied*
There is a phrase used that I wish would be used today. He was a private person. Did not discuss his sexuality. I am so sick and tired of people talking about their sexuality.
I agree. But now people talk about their private parts and their intimate experiences as if its perfectly acceptable. I find their vulgar expressions sickening.
Right, it's Gene Kelly, not Jean Kelly. And no, it's not Doctor Calder, it's Doctor Kildare. It's that Farley Granger at 5:41 who appeared with John Dall in Rope? He was gay, along with Montgomery Clift and Dick Sargent to name a few others.
I've always thought it was STUPID to speculate on someone's sexuality. Unless they're asking you for a date, who cares?! Also, I never got the point of pushing someone to "come out". Would you walk up to another person and announce "I'm straight?"
Why is someone's private life any of my business? Or yours. i don't see why anybody would care in the first place. is it that we sre so bored with our lives we're trying to live the lfife of others?

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.
Jean [sic] Kelly?? Something tells me this is some more of the usual: Take unsubstatiated gossip and pass it off as fact. There are also numerous misspellings throughout this video.
Here's an idea. I think I'll make a video with a provocative title, something like "Men who are actually women". Then I'll do ZERO research, just throw in anything I want, like "Timeless Vintage is non-binary trans man who identifies as a poodle" and post the crap as if it's true. Pretty much what we got going on in this mess !
This world would be a much better and happier place if everyone felt the same way you do about it; especially if it was applied to everyone else too. And I'm not even gay or bi; I'm just not straight either. Pretty much asexual, aromantic, and asocial. Makes for a quiet, simple lifestyle.
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.
Walt Disney was a racist homophobe. He fired Sean Connery after Darby O'Gill and the Little People because he thought Connery was gay. Connery moved back to Scotland and nearly quit acting because of his dismissal by Disney until his agent sent him a screenplay for a film called Dr. No.
There's a bit more to the story than him just being gay. He's said that the situation didn't give Disney much choice. And he was brought back for 'The Monkey's Uncle'.
Most of these people's sexuality was about as secret as Grant's Tomb. But on what basis, other than wishful thinking, can it be said that Gene Kelly was gay? If anything, he fought to debunk the stereotype that all male dancers were gay. Fred Astaire would be more plausible, but he wasn't gay, either.
and you spelled Laurence Olivier incorrectly so isnt that a little like the pot calling the kettle black does it matter whether a person sits down or stands up to use the facilities
I never liked Kelly. He treated many people like crap. He was known for being a jerk. He was conceited. You never see anyone talk about his being a great guy
'Anyone' may wish to form an intimate relationship, including a sexual one. It's only fair that people are honest and don't exploit, use and/or experiment with interested others and lead them up the garden path.
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.
Sad that you were so sloppy that you couldn't get the written word correct. For example "Jene" instead of "Gene" and "2,017" instead of "2017" Really, really sloppy and those 2.3K that gave this a thumbs up are wrong. IMO
It was quite a shock to learn that Leslie Jordan was gay. He always presented such a super macho image on TV and in films. His overpowering presence filled the screen with dominant masculine might.
Ingrid Thulin (a striking blonde star in many Ingmar Bergman movies and character actress in high-profile European films like "The Four Horsemen" (dir, by VIncente Minnelli) and "The Damned" (dir by Luchino Visconti)) was a lesbian, something that was well known to people working with her but barely ever mentioned in public in her lifetime. For decades she was married to Harry Schein, the head of the Swedish Film Institute - a white marriage and more or less a front cover to both of them.
And not a mention of Liberace (The Candelabra Queen)? Or Rock Hudson or James Dean, who once said when asked by a reporter if he was gay -- asked in response to many of the gay rumors swirling around him, "Well, I sure don't want to go thru life with on hand tied behind my back." 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? 😍
Sister in law and I saw Liberace perform in California.... I wasn't looking forward to that event but she wanted company.... Enjoyed the performance much more than I thought I would....he worked hard at putting on a great show.... Also said to the crowd... you probably have heard the rumors....well, I started them. We all knew what he meant.
Just because someone chooses to be single and private about their lives doesn't mean they were/are gay. I have three friends, all over 50 years old. None of them have ever married, and none of them have any children.
Not true. Perkins was closeted and intensely paranoid about it for the majority of his career. He had a number of beard girlfriends, including Pier Angeli.
@8:55 Laurence Olivier is not Sir Michael Redgrave. As to Richard Chamberlain... Is a gay man pretending to be a Catholic priest the same thing as a Catholic priest pretending not to be gay?
Its amazing they wait til these actors die, then they accuse them of being gay. To hear these things state it, every single actor was gay. I dont believe 99% of them Its slander and lies.

The least you could do is fix the many typos.
I’m so glad that many of them lived long enough to let the world know and maybe they found some peace even though it was way overdue.
It’s ironic that Tommy Kirk was let go by Disney for being gay- given Disney’s stance on gays now!
Yeah, ultra conservative Walt Disney died. He was a genius but also a bigot.
Walt Disney was a racist homophobe. He fired Sean Connery after Darby O'Gill and the Little People because he thought Connery was gay. Connery moved back to Scotland and nearly quit acting because of his dismissal by Disney until his agent sent him a screenplay for a film called Dr. No.
Wow Tommy Kirk was in a lot of movies sponsored by Disney and similar companies
Maybe Disney should arrange restitution...
There's a bit more to the story than him just being gay. He's said that the situation didn't give Disney much choice. And he was brought back for 'The Monkey's Uncle'.
It's nobody's business. JMO.
THEN WHY DID YOU WATCH?
Most of these people's sexuality was about as secret as Grant's Tomb. But on what basis, other than wishful thinking, can it be said that Gene Kelly was gay? If anything, he fought to debunk the stereotype that all male dancers were gay. Fred Astaire would be more plausible, but he wasn't gay, either.
what's grant's tomb?
What a load of tripe, Gene Kelly was definitely not gay!
Surprised Merv Griffin wasn't mentioned.
The first photo of michael Redgrave is not Michael Redgrave, is Lawrence Olivier
and you spelled Laurence Olivier incorrectly so isnt that a little like the pot calling the kettle black
does it matter whether a person sits down or stands up to use the facilities
How many times do we have to be told about these actors being gay? It is not news.
As many times as it takes to get homophobes to just move on.
@@yvonneplant9434 Heterophobes are so funny.
And who cares, so sad they had to hide.
You actually got a few facts right.....dope!
Yes, but so few.
That’s John Travolta, not Divine. You used the wrong footage.
I never liked Kelly. He treated many people like crap. He was known for being a jerk. He was conceited. You never see anyone talk about his being a great guy
There’s a highway in Sylacauga Alabama called the Jim Nabors Highway, which we always referred to as the Hershey Highway
I find it disturbing that Disney fired Tommy Kirk due to his sexuality. My, my, how Disney's values have changed.
How about a video about lesbian actresses. That would be interesting.
It would also help if the narrator managed to pronounce the names of these actors correctly.
I only recently found out that David Ogden Stiers came out in 2009. I had no idea.
Why would anyone be concerned about someone's sexual preference or none at all?
Welcome to the 21st century. I wanna know what goes on in people's underpants. Don't you?
Because anyone deviating from a perceived "normal" code of behavior, draws attention to their situation.
@@curbozerboomer1773 Closet? Do you even know what that meant?
'Anyone' may wish to form an intimate relationship, including a sexual one. It's only fair that people are honest and don't exploit, use and/or experiment with interested others and lead them up the garden path.
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.
You said Tab Hunter had a relationship with Tony Perkins, but showed a photo of Tony Randall
Sad that you were so sloppy that you couldn't get the written word correct. For example "Jene" instead of "Gene" and "2,017" instead of "2017" Really, really sloppy and those 2.3K that gave this a thumbs up are wrong. IMO
It was quite a shock to learn that Leslie Jordan was gay. He always presented such a super macho image on TV and in films. His overpowering presence filled the screen with dominant masculine might.
Sarcasm is disrespectful in this context.
@@randilevson9547No it isn't. I thought it was hilarious! I'm a gay man and I was laughing when they showed Leslie. Like, no shit he was gay 😂
😂
@@randilevson9547 honestly don’t think it was meant to be disrespectful in the least.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Rock Hudson and Jim Nabors rumors actually sprang from the old joke “If Rock Hudson married Gomer Pyle his name would be Rock Pile.
Devine? Secretly gay? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ingrid Thulin (a striking blonde star in many Ingmar Bergman movies and character actress in high-profile European films like "The Four Horsemen" (dir, by VIncente Minnelli) and "The Damned" (dir by Luchino Visconti)) was a lesbian, something that was well known to people working with her but barely ever mentioned in public in her lifetime. For decades she was married to Harry Schein, the head of the Swedish Film Institute - a white marriage and more or less a front cover to both of them.
holy crap! Divine was gay?!?!
And not a mention of Liberace (The Candelabra Queen)? Or Rock Hudson or James Dean, who once said when asked by a reporter if he was gay -- asked in response to many of the gay rumors swirling around him, "Well, I sure don't want to go thru life with on hand tied behind my back." 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? 😍
Not mentioning Liberace is terrible. Love Liberace even as a straight guy
Sister in law and I saw Liberace perform in California.... I wasn't looking forward to that event but she wanted company.... Enjoyed the performance much more than I thought I would....he worked hard at putting on a great show.... Also said to the crowd... you probably have heard the rumors....well, I started them. We all knew what he meant.
I never heard that about Gene Kelly.
Because it's not true. It's rumor and jealous innuendo.
😂😅 Secret ?.That made me laugh. This has been public knowledge for decades. Some of them even back in the day !...
It was Jim Nabors..... not Neighbors. Geez.
Just because someone chooses to be single and private about their lives doesn't mean they were/are gay. I have three friends, all over 50 years old. None of them have ever married, and none of them have any children.
"It's none of your damn business" - Tim Walz
Of course they wanted to keep their private lives private
No to Gene Kelly
Why is Jimmy Stewart’s picture on here??
Never heard anything about Gene Kelly, ever
WHAT CRAP THERE WAS NO LBGQ+ BACK THEN
Gene Kelly was NOT gay. BS. He never talked about it because there wasn’t any thing to talk about.
Anthony Perkins was openly gay at the start of his career and made no secret of it.
Not true. Perkins was closeted and intensely paranoid about it for the majority of his career. He had a number of beard girlfriends, including Pier Angeli.
Who did your sub-titles? Melania Trump?
What about Tom Hanks?
I can’t believe John Inman was gay ? I thought he was married with a wife and 5 children. What a shock.
Just about sums up the quality of this video.
You can add to this list Hugh Jackman, Keanu Reeves and Leonardo DiCaprio.
@8:55 Laurence Olivier is not Sir Michael Redgrave. As to Richard Chamberlain... Is a gay man pretending to be a Catholic priest the same thing as a Catholic priest pretending not to be gay?
This is hilarious. Absolutely everyone knew these men were homosexual. There was nothing secret about their behavior or demeanors.
That’s St Laurence Olivier
...who was also a closeted homosexual man.
SIRLaurence Olivier
Omg, Divine was gay!? Secret exposed!
AI crap is out of control. This is just click bait. So many errors make this frustrating to watch.
No mention of Raymond Burr
Its amazing they wait til these actors die, then they accuse them of being gay. To hear these things state it, every single actor was gay. I dont believe 99% of them
Its slander and lies.
I loved Evan‘s acting, especially in bewitched. I loved him as Maurice.❤😢 Rambo was a good actor too. I wondered, whatever happened to him.
'Lived openly gay in the 1970's. Lived with his partner in 1966.' What? That is the 1960's.
Shhh, don't confuse the artificial intelligence that put this video out or it may turn on us!
"Gay" means exuberantly happy and NOTHING ELSE, and I seriously doubt that these people were exuberantly happy.
Denying what a word means does not take away its meaning(s).
Gene Kelly was not gay, geesh
It's nobody's business, but theirs. These people have backbones than others who pretended their tough. Leave them be.
in a conservative industry ???????????
