Out Celebrities and where they are now

There is a big thing in Hollywood saying that open gay people wouldn't successful (even though there are plenty of gay people in the industry!!!), but these days, things have changed, thankfully. There were rare cases, but nowadays it is getting safer and safer for gay actors to be successful and people to still believe them when they play a heterosexual character. But some gay actors still want to be anonymous and that's fine. And some agents don't want their straight actors to do more than one gay role because then people will think he's gay (Like Brett Chuckerman who is straight but has played a lot of gay characters). How many 'Out' Celebrities are there out there and still have a job?


Lance Bass
After coming out on his own [3 years ago in 2006], he still doesn't have a real steady job. Supposedly he is producing now.

T.R. Knight
After starring, being outted during [3 years ago in 2006], and leaving "Grey's Anatomy," he is in the musical Parade.


Adam Lambert
After outting himself on June of 2009, six months ago, his album is out and doing well.


Ellen DeGeneres and Portia derossi
Ellen came out in 1997 during her hit sitcom's run and the show was canceled the next year. It took six years until she got her hit talk show in 2003. She has paved the road but it has been a rocky road. At least she is still working and biggest example of openly homosexual success. Portia came out in 2005 after dating Ellen, she currently is on the show "Better Off Ted" and they married last year August 2008.


Rosie O' Donnell
She left her talk show in 2002, came out, lost her magazine, went to the View an after much turmoil, she rather be without makeup and staying home. Many can love or hate her, I personally love her as she speaks her mind. But she does indeed very passionate.


Neil Patrick Harris
Another success story like Ellen, his success came late. He came out in 2006, three years ago and has success with "How I Met Your Mother" and award show hosting and stage shows.

Meredith Baxter
"Family Ties" actress came out recently. I'm happy she found love.


Chris Colfer
Newcomer with "Glee," his star just started rising, he is 19 and I am happy he is openly out. It shows how times have changed.

John Barrowman
Openly gay and has been with Scott Gill since 1991. Scottish actor is successful with stage shows and "Torchwood."

Yes, Clay Aiken is openly gay too but he was forced to after much nagging. And there are so many other gay actors, singers and celebrities out there but I thought these were worth mentioning. Only very few aren't "Hot" now. I am sure there are some I am missing.

Adam Lambert's sexuality in Entertainment Weekly

Adam Lambert, American Idol's 100th season contestant is on the cover of this week's Entertainment Weekly magazine. There is an asterisk on the cover saying "*And not just because he might be gay" and there is an emphasis on his sexuality. The article is written by Mark Harris, who is gay. He says, "Many readers will say 'Why are we even discussing this? Why does it matter whether he's gay or not?' It doesn't. Or rather, it shouldn't. Except that unlike his counterparts, who commodify their lives on their sleeves, Adam isn't talking about it." Why should it matter if he is out and proud? And why isn't he? When people ask about his sexuality, Adam Lambert goes around in circles with the answer, very prepared. Gay contestants are nothing new, but they never won and Clay Aiken never won and he wasn't out at the time. It is interesting that Entertainment Weekly did this article, it is quite brave to do so. Many may criticize it but I applaud them.

Hugh Jackman is Straight


I believe Hugh Jackman, many people say that because his wife Deborra-Lee Furness is fatter and 13 years older than him. They have been married for 14 years. He has mentioned that he has role-played with his clothes from his plays or movies with her, which is darling and a dream for all housewives. In the interview with Barbara Walters, Debra said she would would go in the bathroom and hear women say 'Is he? or Isn't he?' during "The Boy from Oz" and sometimes she yelled out, "He isn't!" I have labeled this 'closeted celeb' but it is not because I think he is a closeted celeb. He is an extraordinary and awesome talent and performer. Very passionate. You can't blame him to be fit, because that is his work.

Clay Aiken FINALLY OUT

After years of proding by comedians, press, tv shows, MADtv, and Kathy Griffin, Clay Aiken is finally being true to himself and admitted he is gay. I believe if you are in the limelight, you should be true to yourself. I can understand if he is southern and everything. I hate when Gay guys come out and they say they don't want to be an advocate. I guess they feel deep down that they will burnt at the torch. If you are a positive guy and don't do drugs, then what is wrong with being a positive role model? If people look up to you and want you to speak at a couple events, what is the harm in that? As for Clay, I think he has big steps here and there to get there. He's not there yet. I mean, he just had a kid through artificial insemination. How obvious you got to be there. He didn't go the Tom Cruise route. I mean, Tom Cruise went the Tom Cruise route and people still suspect he is gay. Yes, people's business is people's business. But stop kidding yourself and be true to yourself. Stop being ashamed, I'm not.

If he is afraid that he is going to loose his country music fans or fans from the red states, he can think he can make a difference. The difference is showing that gay kids come from the red states too. You can be raised with good values and still be a person with good values. That your sexual orientation, shouldn't matter. Just be openly gay from the beginning, it has worked fine for Jim Verraros, John Barrowman, and Peter Paige.

Tribute: Tom Tryon

January 14, 1926 – September 4, 1991
Tom Tryon, sometimes listed as Thomas Tyron, was an actor famous for the title role of Disney's "Texas John Slaughter" TV series. He is deeply closeted, his long time companion died of AIDS in 1987 and had a romantic relationship with actor Clive Clerk.

He was inspired by the novel Rosemary's Baby and wrote The Other. That started his writing career, a majority of his novellas became TV series and movies.

He starred in "I Married a Monster from Outer Space." Here is a clip. He and Gloria Talbott (above) reprised their roles in the Sci-Fi channel remake in 1998. I don't know how this is possible if he died in 1991. I saw the remake but don't remember him.

He died in 1991 of stomach cancer at age 65. He quit acting and the article above suggests he didn't want to follow in Rock Hudson's path. In fact, he was disillusioned by acting and went into writing which he did to the end of his days. It must have not been easy seeing the people he loved die and keeping a secret.

RJ Helton: I could have told you that

RJ Helton from the first season of American Idol announced last year that he was gay, saying that current natural disasters made him wake up to the fact that life was short. While Jim Verraros was the first openly gay contestant, I always felt R.J. was gay too. In 2004, I read an article about his Christian music and how much he love god---while that is fine and all, I felt sort of disappointed. I felt he wasn't true to himself, even he said it was hard to be gay and a Christian singer. Article from People Magazine.

In and Outs of the Closet


I was gathering information on claims that Charlie Christ is gay and I was realized that it is better not dwell on these things. Even in the case of Christian Chavez of RBD that where he should be honest with himself but people also aren't ready to come out. But then comes the argument where if you are in the public eye, you shouldn't be doing activity that you are supposedly against. Well here are some links. It's old news. But I hope, he can be honest with himself and when it is revealed, if he indeed is gay, I hope he does not resign. I did not vote for him but it would suck.

Yet another of my TV crushes came out


Out of my crushes of 80's TV Sitcoms, Danny Pinaturo who played Angela's son Johnathan on Who's The Boss and Chad Allen from My Two Dads have revealed they were gay. More recently, T.R. Knight (who doesn't count since I just know him from Grey's Anatomy) and now Niel Patrick Harris and I could have told you that. I suspected it and he has dealt with it wonderfully. Entertainment Weekly has an apt article about how coming out is better these days but unfrotunately there are more people in the closet that out people. And Harris and Knight weren't neccessarly in the closet and have kept your pivate life just that.

So yeah I had such a crush on Harris. Now, who's next? Jeremy Miller?

James Dean and his much debated sexuality

For years there has been speculation about James Dean's sexuality, him being a big gay icon isn't enough for me, many celebrities are gay icons but aren't necessarily gay. But much heresay and accounts have been made suggesting he was most likely bisexual. Even the TNT movie James Dean with James Franco in the lead role touched on the topic. Some biographies dealt with one or two affairs.

While TV script writer and writer William Bast wrote James Dean's first biography in 1956, republished again in 2006 'Surviving James Dean' revealing more on their realtionship. He says that the publishers really censored it. He was his close friend and one time roommate and the book covers five years they spent together.

Mike Connolly, a Hollywood gossiper had claimed to be linked to Dean and the following: Anthony Perkins, Guy Madison and Robert Francis. Anthony Perkins (best known for Pyscho) was bisexual, he had a number of affairs with men, including film star Tab Hunter, dancer Rudolf Nureyev (openly gay) and dancer-choreographer Grover Dale, with whom Perkins had a six-year relationship prior to his marriage to Berry Berenson. He claimed to have been exclusively homosexual until his late thirties, when he met the actress Victoria Principal. Perkins died in 1992 of complications from AIDS, at age 60.

Guy Madison whose real name was Robert Mosely, the alias given to him by talent agent Henry Willson who himself was gay and had alot of gay parties and went through hell to cover up Rock Hudson's misdeeds.

Robert Charles Francis
He died in a plane crash on July 31, 1955 at the age of 25. Eerily, Dean said he would be next and he died on September 30 at age 24. That is according to the book "The Death of James Dean" written by Warren Newton Beath.

There has been accounts from actor Nick Adams claiming he had a realtionship with Dean. In fact, many say Nick Adams always lavished about his show business experiences and always tried to capitalize on his associations with James Dean and Elvis Presley. In his brief online biography of Adams, journalist Bill Kelly wrote, "(Adams) became James Dean's closest pal, although Nick was straight and Dean was bisexual." It is my guess that perhaps Nick just wanted to captalize on Dean's popularity.

What is also eerie is that there is specualtion about Nick's death, it has been cited in articles and books on Hollywood's unsolved mysteries along with allegations that Nick Adams was murdered, including claims that one of the two drugs he supposedly died from --- the liquid sedative paraldehyde was never found in his home. The Los Angeles Times reported that bottles with prescription labels were found in the medicine cabinet near the upstairs bedroom where Adams' body was discovered. Actor Robert Conrad, his best friend, has consistently maintained Adams' death was accidental. Some people have pointed out the fact that Adams died shortly before Elvis Presley filmed his Memphis Comeback concert, who Adams also claimed to had an affair with.

I believe James Dean was himself a rebel, a very conflicted man and talented at that. He was taken from us way too soon.

My Two Dad's Marcy's cute gay boyfriend

Remember My Two Dads? If not get out of here. Anywhoo, it starred Paul Reiser (Mad About You) and Greg Evigan (B.J. and the Bear) as the legal guardians of Staci Keanan (Step by Step) because one of them might be her father and they both fought for her mother, who passed away. Anyway, two guys always fought for her affection too--one being Giovanni Ribisi (Cold Mountain, Lost in Translation, The Other Sister, etc.) and the other Chad Allen.

This is Chad Allen Lazzari, he is now 32. He was born a faternal twin, his sister wasn't as interest in acting as much as him. He says he likes theater more, he was a child actor in such shows as Webster, The Wonder Years, Star Trek: TNG, and Highway to Heaven... After having anormal life in High school, he got to be on Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman as Matthew Cooper for six years.

He does charity events, he is super buff. The guy at the right is his trainer.

He came out in 2001. Just like the blonde kid on Growing Pains, I had a crush on him on My Two Dads as well.

He has gone to play a gay dectective in a TV Movie. Chad, gimme a call.

Lance Bass Outed Finally! Too Soon?


We all knew this was coming and with his resmbelance to Ellen Degeneres was one intergator. I think it may a little too soon for him to come out, this is obvious he has been looking for attention. First, that NASA fisaco, second that stupid movie and now this. I wouldn't be surprised if Joey is next...

Here is the article with ABC News


He is going out with Reichen Lehmkuhl from Amazing Race. He is a Former Air Force cadet and broke up with his partner he was with in the Amazing Race.

Or maybe Lance had no choice, ABC News saying he had privacy in a gay bar. Paparazzo and so on.
