Paul Lynde

Rip Taylor

Charles Nelson Reilly

Walter Brennen

Franklin Pangborn.

David Archuleta

Thomas Dekker

First saw him in TVs Terminator spin off "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" in 2008... and KNEW it but chalked it up to wishful thinking. Then he was in Gregg Araki's "Kaboom".. and figured i was right.

He came out in 2017 after TV producer Bryan Fuller unknowingly outed him (Fuller thought he was already out).

Bradley Cooper

Colton

Johnny Weir

Weir for sure

R18 Chad Kimball once came on to me really strong! We had known each other casually for a few years prior to that night. We ran into each other at an event and he was all over me. I was really confused since before that night we were just casual acquaintances. In hindsight I should have gone for it. It was out of town and I had a hotel room too. Damn.

When I was a wee lad, my parents took me on my birthday to see my first play--"Mr. Roberts," at Shady Grove Music Fair (it was still a tent at the time. The star was Hugh O'Brian, who had a big TV show at the time, "Wyatt Earp." Somehow, after the show, my folks got us backstage, and they cornered Mr. O'Brian and he signed my program.

I came away with something more than the signature. I was six, at the most, but, somehow, I had this feeling like I had encountered another alien invader from whatever planet I was from. I never was a fan of his or had any kind of crush, and pretty much forgot about him.

Tony Randall

Gio Benitez

David Muir

John Travolta

Darren Criss.

I'm gay but I spied the lesbians earlier than the gays. Nancy Kulp. Kaye Ballard, etc.

Dick Sargent

Kathy Bates

Jonathan Bennett

Julian Morris

Sal Mineo.

Tony Geary

Ricky Martin back when he was a twink In Menudo.

My girlfriend saw Ricky Martin for the first time when he was on Saturday Night Live and said he was definitely gay, because there was no way a straight guy would make dance moves like that.

R39, who else?

"Most fraucunts think every man in history, dead or alive is gay. Just say every man in history."

You think Dom deLuise, George Michael, etc. weren't gay?

Ricky Martin

Richard Chamberlin

The ones I'm convinced are gay, even though they are not out:

Cate Blanchett (in denial)

Maria Sharapova and her fiance

Roger Federer

Michael Phelps (I was sure about Ian and look what happened)

Nick Kyrgios (maybe bi)

Axl Rose

Herbert von Karajan

Bastian Schweinsteiger

Emma Stone

R51 is nuts- (more so than a lot of these posts “- lol

R54 why?

Nipsey Russell

Channing Tatum

Danny Kaye.

Erik Adame

Rex Reed

Tim Tebow

Tebow for sure

I still say seeing Gronk take Tebow's virginity would have been something.

[quote]Thomas Dekker

He was in an episode of Seinfeld when he was a child and it was too obvious. They had him playing a kid who was into baseball. Not the best casting.

Dekker was a fine example of "surprising, said exactly no one" when he came out.

John Travolta - on the Today Show in the 1970s

Kristen Stewart in Panic Room -- when I saw that movie I said to myself, "Look! Jodie found herself a baby butch!"

Rudolph Valentino.

This is a soap one. There was an actor named Chris Bernau who played this ruthless womanizer type on Guiding Light. I was watching Dark Shadows and he shows up in the Leviathan Storyline in the late 60s married to this sexy sultry character. He couldn't contain the gay. I thought he was going to fly off the screen. Dark Shadows was no stranger to gay actors, but that dude just couldn't hide it.

Tatum O’Neil , Jill Hennessy , Tina Fey, Eminem,

R68 - try Ramon Novarro. Rudolph V. was a womanizer.

I first knew about Dekker in The Sarah Connor Chronicles and I hadn't pegged him as gay then.

Did someone else invest on some celebrity's gayness out of wishful thinking, and then it turned out that he was really gay?

I clicked on Victor Garber's Wikipedia page to see if he was gay after I watched him on 30 Rock. I saw him first on Titanic, but I was a kid and of course had no gaydar then. But when I saw on Wikipedia that he was indeed out as gay, it surprised me as I only checked the page out of wishful thinking. He was such a handsome and seductive silver fox in the episode.

I think famous womanizers did the gay as a palate-cleanser between the main courses of pussy galore. So this includes Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, Mickey Rooney (yes!), Clark Gable, Hugh Hefner, Bob Fosse, etc. Something about having a lot of wives suggests you get bored, need more variety, so a gay snack seems natural.

Hugh Jackman Ryan Reynolds

Bert and Ernie.

Katherine Hepburn

Katherine Hepburn was a great snatch eater with that head bobbing back and forth.

Whenever a letter was addressed to a misspelled Katherine Hepburn, it would be returned unopened, "addressee unknown" written in a neat hand on the envelope.

^^ What a pretentious cunt she was. Always acting as if she was special among the special.

Agnes Moorehead

Does Aaron Schock count as a star? His taste in casual clothes, particularly that belt, screamed gay when the media started singling him out.

Tim Daly

Aaron schock for sure. It was so obvious from the beginning

[quote]R68 - try Ramon Novarro. Rudolph V. was a womanizer.

There have been many gay rumors surrounding Valentino.

Nigel Hawthorne.

Derek Jacobi

Speaking of Dekker, he looks pretty good and so does JTT.

R87 JTT does look cute.

Apart from his prolapsed anus flapping in the wind, James Dean has gayface, gay everything from space.

R29 I had to laugh when I saw your entry of Robert Q. Lewis. I hadn’t thought about him before but it’s so obvious now that you pointed it out.

Bennett Cerf seemed awfully gay to me as well.

Bennett Cerf certainly had gayvoice.

Richard Chamberlain. And I didn't even know what gay was.

[Quote] Apart from his prolapsed anus flapping in the wind,

😱😱😱

I'll never forget seeing Tom Daley during his first Olympic games...I was like HOLY FUCK, that boy knew what he was doing....the shower after the dives, the arched back.

Jodie Foster

I had called Aaron Hernandez when he was a star player and it all came out, after his death.

R89 His vibe is more bisexual than gay.

Farley Granger
