It's a milennial-thang! Back at the end of the second milennium; gay remained by-and-large the kiss of celebrity death. It wasn't that celebrities weren't gay: There were gay actors (Rock Hudson, Errol Flynn, Marlena Deitrich, Barbara Stanwick), gay musicians (Leiberaci, Billy Stayhorn), gay writers (James Baldwin, Langston Hughes). But they lived in closets, because that was the only way they could practice their art viably.
And here we are in the third millennium, and how times have changed! Here are 30 successful totally out GLBT Celebrities. How many names do you recognize?
