Tab Hunter and James Dean were two of Warner Brothers biggest stars during the mid-1950s.

Hunter was gay and even discretely dated fellow actor Tony Perkins. Once he left mainstream Hollywood, he lived an open (but not public) gay life with his partner Allan Glaser. Hunter “came out” in his 2005 autobiography. He and Glaser married in 2013.

Although James Dean only made three movies before his tragic death. He is a try Hollywood icon. There have been rumors that he was gay or bisexual. The most convincing evidence is from Elizabeth comments in 2000: “All of my life I’ve spent a lot of time with gay men... Montgomery Clift, Rock Hudson, Jimmy Dean...”

Urban Legend: The Wedding of Rock Hudson and Jim Nabors

As the story goes, a group of Gay men in Huntington Beach had an annual party. Their 1971 invitation joked “witness the marriage of Rock Hudson and Jim Nabors". The punchline being Hudson would take Nabor’s TV character name (Goner Pyle) and become “Rock Pyle”. This spread and soon people outside gay circles heard the “joke”.

The joke was on Hudson and Nabors. The two actors barely knew each other. But from that point they made sure they never appeared in public together.

Jim Nabors was the most famous marine in the USA as “Gomer Pyle”. And he was also gay. Around the time the rumor was circulating, Nabors met Stan Cadwallader, a fireman in Hawaii. The two became lovers and got married in 2013 when it was legal to do so. They were together for 42 years.

Rock Hudson died of AIDS-related complications in 1985.

Day 2: Montgomery Clift (1920 - 1966)

A four-time Oscar nominee who died at 45, Montgomery Clift was a bright young talent, a tabloid fixture, and a posthumous gay icon. He dated men and women, but his longest relationships were with men and he supposedly identified as homosexual. His male partners included actors Jack Larson, Roddy McDowell, and William LeMassena.

Gay actors can do anything straight actors can do, including being romantic leads in mainstream shows and movies. They don’t need to be typecast for gay movies to have success, and frankly their sexuality isn’t a ton to have in common if you’re trying to portray another person. Their accent, the way they move, their chemistry with a scene partner, their aesthetic, particularly if a piece is historical and having a look that works with the era’s fashions and sensibilities is desired are all much more important than being theoretically interested in someone of the same gender as their scene partner.

And gay men have been doing the damn thing in movies since the beginnings of cinema, no need of exclusively setting aside parts for gay characters. The difference now is that they can actually come out and be believed by most people to be capable of playing any kind of person. Be one of those people that believe gay people can act.

"Openness may not completely disarm prejudice, but it's a good place to start." — Jason Collins

It makes me really sad, when I can recognize the many, secretly gay, Korean actors and idols, because they can never have a truly fulfilled life.

I guess they make the choice, between their work lives and fame, or meeting the person, with whom they can find love and a private, personal life.

But, wouldn’t it be a beautiful thing if they could have BOTH?

We tell gay youths: THINGS WILL GET BETTER, but WHEN will things get better for all the people, in all those countries, where LGBTQIA RIGHTS aren’t recognized?

People need to start opening their minds & their hearts to include the LGBTQ Community, so they can live normal lives, too—lives like hetero people take for granted, as their, god-given right.

It’s not ONLY Korea, but that’s where it strikes me at my heart.

There’s only one example, I’ve found, in S Korea, of a gay couple—where a man wanted his partner covered by his health insurance—the article is attached…this was written in Feb. 2023…

Here is an excerpt from the article:

<<South Korea does not recognize same-sex partnerships, but the two men held a symbolic wedding ceremony in 2019, and one of them successfully registered the other as his spouse in February 2020, allowing him access to his employer’s health insurance plan. When the story became public months later, the NHIS swiftly reversed course and revoked his partner’s dependent status. The couple sued to have the benefits restored.

While the court ruled that it could not recognize a de facto marriage between same-sex couples, the principle of equality requires the national health insurance agency to apply equal treatment to all couples, as the NHIS law does not explicitly specify coverage of common law couples. The court found that the NHIS did not treat de facto same-sex couples equally and ruled in favor of the couple accessing health insurance coverage.

The NHIS said it will appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.

This case is significant for upholding the principles of equality and nondiscrimination. The government should expand protections for same-sex couples and take measures to combat widespread discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in schools, employment, housing, and other domains, which leaves them highly vulnerable to mistreatment and abuse.

In the region, Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan have all extended marriage equality to same-sex partners. A recent court ruling in Japan maintained the prohibition on same-sex marriage, but acknowledged that a lack of legal protection for same-sex families violated their rights. Lawmakers in Thailand are considering options to recognize same-sex relations. >>

But, along with the rights, that everyone else has, which are denied to gays—there needs to be an understanding, a learning experience, and the acknowledgement, of the LGBTQ community, so that they can live openly and comfortably, among the other members of society, without fear of being discriminated against, or being treated differently, or having to feel they are different from everyone else.

Others have said it more simply & better than me:

"It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences." — Audre Lorde

"You have to go the way your blood beats. If you don’t live the only life you have, you won’t live some other life, you won’t live any life at all." — James Baldwin

"Some people are blind or ignorant, and you can't be that prejudiced and hateful and go through this world and still be happy." — Dolly Parton

DON’T BE BLIND OR IGNORANT!

Andrew Scott seems to be having a good time promoting Andrew Haigh's ALL OF US STRANGERS.

Maybe, in general he has gotten better at press because I remember his Reddit AMA from when he was promoting PRIDE.

Someone theorized that he's getter at it because he's been promoting he film with Paul Mescal

but I think he's just gotten more comfortable promoting things. I attended a Q&A with he and his ALL OF US STRANGERS costars Jamie Bell and Claire Foy and he was grand.

Same last year with CATHERINE CALLED BIRDY. I attended a Q&A of he and Joe Alwyn and he was loose.

Scott takes the costar test with Mescal.

He also has fun with Greta Lee in their Variety "Actors on Actors'.
