Actor hollywood gay

by David Ehrenstein

Now that gay actors like Nathan Lane, Jim Parsons, Victor Garber, Jonathan Groff, and Neil Patrick Harris are &#;out of the closet&#; and on the rise, it&#;s strenuous to imagine just how different things were in the relatively recent past. Not only was the notion of being openly gay and having a viable career unimaginable, but gayness itself was also a concept polite population couldn&#;t countenance. &#;Homosexuals&#; subsisted on society’s margins, mentioned only in whispered gossip, fearsome psychiatric studies, and Conservative diatribes decrying perversion.

Hiding In Plain Sight

Still, in spite of it all, gay men managed to make their way to very top of the acting profession in the gilded closets of Hollywood. In this covert context, bigtime careers and personal lives proceeded with a calculated risk that can fascinate us today. Here are five of the most noteworthy examples of gay actors in mid-Century Hollywood.

Our roundup of some of the most famous same-sex attracted actors of all period who are proudly flying the flag for our awesome LGBTQ community.

Representation, whether plain as a poor eyebrow job or as subtle as a carefully coordinated outfit, is gradually but surely growing for the LGBTQ+ community in Hollywood.

More and more actors are coming out and opening up about their gender, emboldened by the lesser potential for backlash aimed in their direction. While some select to maintain their privacy – not out of fear but out of “God, the paparazzi are getting on my nerves about this!” – others proudly announce engagements, present breakups for all the world to see, and post their vacation snaps featuring their beloved partners – and sometimes kids too!

We still aren't where we need to be when it comes to equal treatment and opportunity for a lot of folks in Show Business but with the list of openly famous lgbtq+ stars growing each year and the support for them following suit, it's only a matter of time before the score evens out.

The public and private Rock Hudson

A Hollywood producer once called him "Prince Charming" – a fitting nickname for a male whose life seemed, for most of it, appreciate a storybook. Rock Hudson started steaming up the screen in the s, and continued for nearly four decades, in more than 60 films. But today he's perhaps overlooked, said documentary director Stephen Kijak. 

Smith asked, "Why perform you think his entitle is not up there with the James Deans and the Marilyn Monroes?"

Kijak replied, "I don't recognize. I think it's partly because the legacy ends up just being, 'Oh, Rock Hudson was that actor who died of AIDS.'"

But now, in his new HBO documentary, "Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed," Kijak explores Hudson's whole life, as a global star, and closeted gay man. In the documentary, Hudson's friend Ken Jillson said, "Our social life with him was very private. We didn't go out to restaurants. We would go to Rock's house. It was called the Castle."

Yes, Prince Charming really did call his home "the Castle" – a Beverly Hills mansion that must have seemed a million miles away from Winnetka, Illinois, where Hudson grew up as Roy Fitzgerald.
