Top 20 Famous Gay Actors of Hollywood 2024 [LGBTQ+ Icons]
Ian McKellen
Ian McKellen is an acclaimed actor famous for his versatile performances on stage and screen. Beyond his acting prowess, McKellen is also established for his activism, particularly in LGBTQIA+ rights. His career did not undergo post-coming out. Instead, it flourished, with McKellen taking on a range of more emotionally resonant roles that resonated with audiences worldwide. McKellen came out during a BBC radio broadcast in 1988 as an act of activism against Section 28, a proposed law in the UK that sought to prohibit the "promotion of homosexuality." His spontaneous truth was a bold action during a time when gay rights faced significant legal and societal challenges. Reflecting on the impact of his coming out, McKellen noted that it changed his life "for the better," enhancing his relationships, personal satisfaction, and even his approach to acting, allowing him to embody characters with greater authenticity.
Ian McKellen's contributions to LGBTQIA+ culture and history extend far beyond his personal coming out story. He co-founded Stonewall, a UK-based LGBTQIA+ rights organiz
This list contains information about gay celebrities who never came out, loosely ranked by fame and popularity. Many successful Hollywood actors are gay. These days, it's common for celebrities to publicly come out as gay in the media, but that wasn't always the case. Several famous gay celebrities remained in the closet throughout their entire lives.
Who is the most famous homosexual celebrity who never came out of the closet? Cary Grant tops this list. Though he was married five times to five different women, many people believed that Cary Grant was actually queer . He lived with player Randolph Scott on and off for over a decade and he was also rumored to own hired male prostitutes.
Despite his flamboyant stage presence, Liberace never officially came out as gay. He even went so far as to sue a publication for libel when they printed that he was gay. Liberace's friend, Betty White, has stated that the musician was, in fact, homosexual. Other secretly closeted movie stars contain Rock Hudson, Anthony Perkins, and Robert Reed.
Are you surprised that any of these LGBT celebrities never publicly announced their homosexuality or bisexuality? Share your thoughts in the comments section abFor many, June represents the month of pride; a time to celebrate, train and communicate all that is queer, gay and fabulous. Although today organism gay isn’t much of a deal, back in the 50’s it was a dangerous label to have. Throughout history, thousands have lost their lives because they were labeled as ‘gay’ or ‘queer’ and many lived out their true sexual preferences in secrecy. As it’s almost the end of Pride month, I wanted to have a peek at some celebrities from the golden age of Hollywood who were same-sex attracted, or at least thats what the rumours said. It’s difficult to realize if all these celebrities, and of course many more, were truly queer , but I wanted to share a few stories just so see how far we’ve come. Content pride everyone.
