Gay Actors in the Movie


Am I right in saying that Lily Tomlin, B.D. Wong and Ian McKellen are the only openly gay/lesbian actors in this movie? Or are there more that I'm not aware of? I know some of the people in the closing montage were, but I'm talking about the stars of the film.

Who really knows? Maybe all of them- but who really knows?

David Marshall Grant is in the movie and he is openly gay as well.

Stephen Spinella is also openly gay.

Ian McCellan and Lily Tomlin are the ones I know have come out.

I have questions about Charles Martin Smith.

And there's always the notion that many of the actors/actresses in the film knew gay men afflicted with AIDS.

These "stars" participation in this effort was a way of paying homage to their dear, afflicted friends.

"Don't call me 'honey', mac."
"Don't call me 'mac'... HONEY!"

Richard Gere is clearly a bisexual man.He is just being too shy to admit it.But..hell,even stevie wonder could know that.And probably Phil Collins as well.His role as an owner of gay bathhouse already came his "vibe" out of the closet..or is he? i don't know i probably missed something.Well,regardless,he always seems woman-ish for me.

But,wait..did we talk about "openly gay movie stars" in this show? well,...i honestly have no idea.

The only ones I know for sure are openly gay are Ian McKellan, Stephen Spinella and B.D. Wong (He never publicly said "I'm gay" but rather ended up coming out by accident..I guess you could say..in his book about his journey to parenthood with his partner..where his former partner's name is mentioned quite frequently.)

I am not revealing my name to protect the innocent.

Lily Tomlin is currently in a relationship with a woman, but BD Wong even though he was in a gay relationship, his relationship ended in 2004 and Ian Mckellan was also gay in real life but his relationships with 2 men both ended. I don't think these people are in gay relationships now.

"I am not revealing my name to protect the innocent."

????

Who on here reveals their names? And I think everyone already knows about Lily, Ian and BD. You've not revealed anything earth shattering, so don't worry. LOL

reply

Can't you just say that the relationships ended? Adding "gay" adds nothing to the post. A relationship involving two men or two women is no different from one involving a man and a woman. Also, it's not that Ian McKellan "was also gay" - he IS gay. Just because the relationship ends, it doesn't mean the orientation does (unless you're Anne Heche.)

What about Dack Rambo?

reply

Steve Martin is gay. Matt Modine definitely acts like it
