Who would shock you if their closet door flew open?

Rick Santorum. On second thought, that wouldn't shock me.

Hugh Jackman. Even when nobody is bringing up the gay rumors, he insists on mentioning how straight he is. Most celebrities just ignore the rumors. Seeing how vocal he has been, it's near impossible for him to come out without some serious backlash.

Is Channing Tatum actually bisexual, or is that unproven gossip?

Trump, Any of the Duggars

Chris Pratt.

Douchebag extraordinaire Jensen Ackles

Hillary

Aaron Rodgers

Nobody.

Aaron Rogers, Miguel, Dr. Dre, Jake G.

Tom Cruise. The media would explode, even more so than when Diana was killed

R11, media wouldn't explode, or at least wouldn't reach Princess Di's death in any way. Tom Cruise is universally thought to be crazy and his coming out woud be just another chapter in his weird life.

Your question is flawed. Everyone knew Liberace was a big old queen. It surprised nobody when he died of AIDS because everyone assumed he was gay, except for Liza who just thought he was eccentric.

Hugh Hefner

Billy Graham? Mike Ditka? Fuckface Von Clownstick?

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Dave Grohl

Oh, I know! Woody Allen!

Phil Anselmo. Not because there haven't been rumours, but because he's firmly ensconced in the closet. I think a lot of his substance abuse issues stem from being closeted.

Same with Darryl Abbott (RIP)

Tiger Woods Howard Stern

The only thing which would surprise me about Santorum would be finding out he was a top.

I think there is going to be a shake up and Tom will be outed. I think Kirstie really wants to leave.I'm pretty sure Revolta regrets the day he met those freaks. I think they have life destroying dirt on all 3.

Holy fuck r20. I never, ever thought of Stern as family. I did not need that mental image. We don't want him.

BTW, have there been rumours? I must've missed them.

R23 I think he bottoms for Baba Booey while Stuttering John watches..lol...Seems like guys that go on and on about boobs turn to be gay.Like Hef and this guy in Fl named Joe Redner who builds strip clubs came out a few years ago.

R23 Seems Tiger Woods can't maintain a hetro relationship. Hef needs gay porn on at each session.

Woods I totally believe is genuinely bisexual. Stern...maybe I just don't want to believe it.

R26 Your rigt.I take Stern comment back.He'd just say it if he was bi.

R19 Phillip Anselmo has already admitted to being bisexual, I don't know if that still makes him a closeted gay

Queen la beefa ... john revolta

Anita Biscuit...Bryant.

Kerry Von Erich

WTF? When did that happen, r28? Link? I don't remember ever hearing that. Not saying you're lying, just surprised.

I read somewhere that Hugh Hefner watched a black guy and a white guy fuck. Some lady said he said it turns him on. This was at the mansion.

I'd be surprised by Oprah because I think she's asexual and also political aspirations must be the only door open to her going forward. Name recognition aside she's not the force she was.

Cruise I also think is asexual but the surprise would be any kind of sanity prevailing at this point.

Timberlake I'm still not convinced by.

Jackman doesn't have to come out. He lets his show tunes do the talking for him on that account.

Queen L was with her girlfriend in Paris in the press the other day. She seems to have settled in for the long haul in the glass closet.

I'd be surprised if Burt Reynolds comes out - even as bi - in his upcoming autobiography. Only because it'd be a genuine shock to most of Middle America who are old enough to know who he is and that he was a big deal.

Dolly I'd be surprised by too. Not that I don't think she is gay. I think she's the biggest lez who ever lezzed. But she's got very old and Fox Newsy of late. She's aiming for the diminishing returns of the fundie crowd now and is more in the closet than she was 15 years ago. Shame no one's told her it's 2015 and saying Jesus loves all sinners so Christians shouldn't judge gays isn't quite as supportive as it was ten years ago.

Jake G, not that I think he is gay, but if he were, I'd be shocked, especially after the showmances and embarrassing denials, like I love women's tits and ass.

[quote]I read somewhere that Hugh Hefner watched a black guy and a white guy fuck. Some lady said he said it turns him on. This was at the mansion.

He apparently has gay porn on tv while having sex with his bunnies. Or used to, not sure if he has any sex anymore.

I would be most surprised to find some long term married actor like Bob Newhart was gay.

John Rocker

John travolta after the years of denials and law suits.

Representative Paul Ryan.

Tony Perkins, of the Family Research Council. Then again, would it shock us that such a GLB-hating creep was actually a closeted gay man?

My Jakey. Damn.

Donny has a hot son. BTW: Where has Anita Bryant been hiding since the gay marriage ruling?

Agree w Timberlake, he's been in the closet so long he calls it home.

I'm amused that anyone here even knows who Phil Anselmo is, let alone that he's bi.

(hot lead singer for Pantera) Too bad he's all fat and old now. He was hot years ago.

He's actually gay. I have yet to see where he admitted being bi, either.

Also horse hung.

R16, you'd be shocked JRM is gay? Or that he would actually come out of the closet? The OP's question is off--is it shock that the person is actually gay? Or shock that they would actually come out?

I feel neither really applies to JRM. I wouldn't be shocked if he was gay (though the common belief is he's bi). And I wouldn't be shocked if he came out one day. It just seems like there are others who are way, way deeper in the closet. I can see JRM not giving a fuck when his career is over and coming out then. Ala Helmut Berger.

Why would anyone be shocked to learn that Hugh Jackman is gay ?

One of the older Duggar sons would happily surprise me.

Any NFL player

Travolta.

It's not shocked to learn they're gay, it's shocked that they actually came out ......... I think

Sandra Bullock

Aaron Schock

Barbara Walters

Gayle King

Bruce Springsteen

Barack Obama

Harvey Fierstein

JGL. He's bi, I know, but he's really invested in presenting himself as a straight dudebro, and his weird remarks to Out several years ago show he considers being thought of as gay or bi a bad thing.

Cunt.

the ENTIRE cast of Glee, including LM

Obama or Michelle O

Joe Biden. I can imagine him saying, "Yeah, I fooled around with male friends. Who hasn't?"

R58, I used to have JB's " butt buddy" clip in my threadwatch on the old DL. Never failed to make me laugh

I can see Aaron Schock coming out. It will be how he reinvents himself. The scandal showed him that he was living a lie. I can Oprah doing a show. CNN, Esquire, Parade.

R53

Keepers. Imagine if Gayle DID come out. *Imagines getting popcorn and settling down for that lesbi-drama*.

David Venable

Obama

R60 It's hard for me to believe she was ever "in."

bump

Bump

Tom Holland

R3 pretty sure he is.

R6 that would shock me too considering Jensen is straight.

R29/R34 Queen Latifah came out already:

Latifah long refused to address speculation around her sexuality and personal life, telling The New York Times in 2008 that "I don't feel like I need to share my personal life, and I don't care if people think I'm gay or not".[64] At the BET Awards 2021, during her acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Award, she publicly acknowledged her partner Eboni Nichols and son Rebel for the first time, ending the speech with "happy Pride!"

^Sorry, just saw your comments are from 2015!!! But look there was progress!!

Gay male celebs who are married to women aren't going to come out. I can't think of any who have done so in recent times.

2015?

Ryan Reynolds

Liberace

I don't think Oprah or Dolly Parton are gay

Eric Trump

I doubt hetero men see Hugh "Wolverine" Jackman as a Liberace. Maybe it an impossible example. The closest I can think are Lindsey Graham and James Corden.

I'm not sure if Richard Simmons is out

Of course straight men don’t see Wolverine as Liberace, he’d never be able to play the piano with those hand blades he has.

Ed Begley Jr.

If Mike Pence were finally outed ...

Josh Hawley

I don't understand OP's opener. Liberace being gay shocked no-one. And did ever come out?

Then OP lists a number of men the public frequently gossips about being gay. So their coming out would SHOCK few people, if any.

So what is the logic here?

David Muir. In an article mentioning "partner" it was Alex, his dog

Certain moi.

R69 missed the year on the post

Elon Musk

Vladimir Putin

The Pope, any pope.

[quote]Trump

Eeeuw. Let's not go there.

[...]

Imagining the orgy.

Henry Rollins

Sweet Brigham Young, at r43! Those Osmond genes are strong!

I do think Dolly is gay and would be stunned if she ever came out.

R92 She won't, if she is. I don't think she is.

Of course Dolly won't. Too much money at stake. And I do think she is.

R88 never thought i would see John Wolfe mentioned on DL. I must admit i thought he was at gay first and was surprised to learn he has a wife. He seems pretty private but i can't picture him being ashamed to admit he's not straight. By any chance did you see his controversy video?

So Muriel finally redlined the 2015 bump troll. Was probably an incarnation of Defacto who bumped all the threads he started before he was placed in a psychiatric facility.

Calvin Harris is still unmarried and childless at 58, plus he dated Gaylor Swiffer Duster. No way in hell is he straight!

R2 anyone who isn’t lame brained knows Hugh Jackson is gay. Watch any amount of interviews and see his total body of professional work and it’s more than obvious.

R88 some of your guesses are WAAAAAAY off. The 2 Chris for instance? Puhlease

I'd be shocked if Jonathan Osteen split from his marriage and ministry to declare his being gay. Usually, such people are outed, and they try everything to "go back in."
