Ian McKellen
Ian McKellen is an acclaimed actor acknowledged for his versatile performances on stage and screen. Beyond his acting prowess, McKellen is also commended for his activism, particularly in LGBTQIA+ rights. His career did not experience 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 demonstrate against Section 28, a proposed law in the UK that sought to prohibit the "promotion of homosexuality." His spontaneous uncovering was a bold action during a time when gay rights faced significant legal and societal challenges.

For many, June represents the month of pride; a time to celebrate, instruct and communicate all that is queer, gay and fabulous. Although today entity 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 observe 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 recognize if all these celebrities, and of course many more, were truly lgbtq+, but I wanted to share a few stories just so see how far we’ve come. Cheerful pride everyone.

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 queer 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 homosexual. He lived with player Randolph Scott on and off for over a decade and he was also rumored to possess 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 comprise 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 abHollywood's Golden Age Gays. The list is LONG.

Thank you , will have to check out your recommendation.
Reading Hollywood Babylon am struck at all the suicides, murders (unsolved) and other criminal activity (including drugs). Knew hard core drugs were around since after time 1800's or so, but had no idea so much of Hollywood were dope fiends.
The unsolved murders are also striking. More so since people called the studios, other actors, and everyone else first before LE. By moment LE did arrive the crime scene was often not only contaminated but things missing.
Some quick proof checking already proves Kenneth Anger played fast and lose with the reality. His gory account of Marie Prevost's death is largely fiction.
Cool thing, to me anyway is many of the places where various Hollywood stars dedicated suicide are still around. Wonder if any are haunted?
