    🌈 Hollywood Gay Actors Who Passed Away (With Cause Of Death)
    Throughout the years, countless actors have left their mark on the entertainment industry, not only with their talent but by challenging societal norms and pushing boundaries. Among them are notable figures from the LGBTQ+ community who made significant contributions to film and television.
    And with some of them, you might not have even known they were gay.
    In this video, we take a look at gay actors we lost over the years.

    The brutal murder of Sal Mineo was a real shock at the time. Never knew he was gay, nor Earl Holliman. It matters not what you are, it is how you treat others, and it is this I reserve my judgement for fellow man.

      @Collin-k1i ---> Maybe they are trying to be helpful to prevent diseases spreading. The Federal Government (very often friendly to sex perverts) made it a law that people with AIDS / H.I.V. are NOT to be contacted or traced and the people they had sex with or shared a heroin needle with are NOT to be contacted and quarantined.
      ALL other S.T.D.'s (Sexually Transmitted Diseases ARE legally (by Law) traceable by County Doctor or State Doctors and every person that the disease carrier has had sexual contact with (body fluid swapping) with must be warned and a blood sample taken, and then that person must be quarantined to stop the spread of S.T.D.'s .... EXCEPT A.I.D.S. (which is the deadliest one), but since so many people in Showbiz / music-biz and the political-News -TV world are h o m o s e x u a l or b i-s e x u a l people, they are given a "green light" to spread their "lifestyle" and the consequences thereof.
      Gonorrhea and Syphilis are the two big S.T.D.'s but there are many more. A.I.D.S. is the only S.T.D. that has "civil rights". Protection of the perverts by highly placed people in the government.

    Thank you for not talking like you do in most of these. I really appreciate it. I can't understand why some get talked about and not others when all are equally important to loved ones and fans. I haven't heard of most of these showcased here, the handful I did recognize I knew they were gay and what they passed from but there were 4 I never knew were gay and even thinking about movies/shows I've watched them in still can't imagine it. It's all sad. I don't know why we can't just be born then grow to be like 100, and pass in our sleep peacefully. Disease's are such an unfair fate and such a heavy burden.

    what truly matters is that
    Our Great Creator saw us
    ALL as fallen souls, and
    sent His Son, a Perfect

    for ALL of Our wrongdoings.

    I would like to know how they know that Cesar Romero was gay. Did he admit to it or was he outed? I did not grow up with him, but I remember him from the Latin lover days of movies. I am surprised that someone would claim that he was gay.

      It happens when you rawdog a dookie chute. Back in the day, I guess they figured that they couldn't get a butthole pregnant, so why wear a rubber. They found out the hard way. Literally.

      There were no drugs in 80s and 90s to treat it, and many men contracted it before anyone knew it existed. 😢
