How many openly gay artists, actors and musicians can you name?

Guy from Judas Priest-Rob Halford came out a few years ago prefaced with a, well duh, everyone who matters has always known.

Versace-mudered, not a crime of passion. not sure if I remeber this right, but may not have really been his boyfriend , just a guy from the clubs??

Andrew Cunanan, the murderer of Gianni Versace, was a hustler who was wanted in 4 other murders at the time he killed Versace. In fact, he was on the FBI's ten most wanted list.

There were some reports that he and Versace had hooked up before, but Cunanan committed suicide when the police cornered him and any certainty died with him. But there was no real evidence that they had any kind of ongoing relationship.
 
Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, from the Who.


Edited to say that I don't think they were a couple, though both are gay... and I still think Roger Daltrey is extremely hot, even if he's not playing on my team. *G*

That's a new one to me.

I knew that Townsend has discussed bi experiences, and there was that flap in the press when he said that because of them he thought he had a better understanding of what it's like to be a woman (as if), but I have never heard that either of them are gay.

I did read it in an interview somewhere last year. It made a definite impression on me, partly because I'd had a wicked crush on Roger Daltrey.

I'll try to see if I can find where that interview was.
 
Hmm...

Just an FYI -

I thought the actor who played Jack on Will and Grace was actually straight - thought I heard that somewhere...

And, Jodi Foster is definately gay... but definately not publicly out...
 
Don't know his name

but the guy that directed the MatrixII is transgendered. He apparently is starting to dress in women's clothes when he goes out... that was a nifty little factoid.

Nick LaChey..don't know if that's how you spell it.. the guy from 98 degrees, but he was sleeping with my brother for a bit.
 
So, I ran a search on Google-Gay actors, artists, musicans and came up with some sites. Clicked on the frist one and some of the names that came up were:

Allen, Chad
Almodóvar, Pedro
Altman, Dennis
Bacon, Francis
Badertscher, Amos
Baldwin, James
Barker, Clive
Capote, Truman
Caravaggio, Michelangelo
Carpenter, Edward
Clift, Montgomery
Coward, Nöel
Divine (Harris Glenn Milstead)
Dixon, Melvin
Donaghe, Ronald L.
Dooley, Dr. Tom
Everett, Rupert (talk about openly gay...but such a cutie!)
Fry, Steven
Grant, Cary (Huh? Looked it up...He had a long time affair with Randolph Scott before he married.
He was married five times. )


That was just a few on the list...not even all the ABC ones either....

Then there was another link called
OUTprofiles: LGBTI Actors

I always wondered about Alan Cumming, who played Nightcrawler in Xmen Two...But Sir Ian McKellan who plays Magento was a surprize to me!:eek:

It's an excellent film. Although, Brendan Frasier has really inhibited my enjoyment of some great films - including The Quiet American which I loved.

As for Alan Cumming, is he gay or bi? Isn't he married to Jennifer Jason Leigh?

I think Fraser's performance in G&M works because of his lack of his stiffness and lack of expressiveness. A more flexible actor might not have conveyed the character's repression quite so well.

P.S.'s site lists Alan Cumming as being gay, but he was married before, so he may be bi. Unfortunately, there is sometimes a rush to push every bi celeb into the gay category.

He is not married to Jennifer Jason Leigh. I don't think she's ever been married, has she?

Hmm.

no just air.

i was all set to look up the actors name and post it when it dawned on me the possbility of outing him. one of my best friends is a celebrity photographer and the idea of earning some extra rent money flashed through my mind~it would prolly jump start his career to A~list for fifteen minutes but then the fact i think outing is wrong crept in and just thought how nice it would be if he were to come out the way one should.

on television.
