Let's not forget (although he wasn't an actor) The Gloved One, who had a hell of a time dealing with his sexuality, and dealt with it in a strange manner...
Most famous openly gay (American) actor?
- Thread starter JoeZhang
- Start date
Meredith Baxter from the 80's program "Family Ties" just came out today. She has been in a long term relationship (4 yrs) and wanted to stop the tabloids from making it out to be a big deal.
But frankly, who cares if they are happy then it isn't anyones concern.
The biggest homophobe I ever encountered was a woman who would not watch or allow her children to watch "Finding Nemo" because Ellen provided a voice to a character and she was gay.
sheesh

I guess Aragorn thinks that it's bad to be gay.
She has a stunted view of things then, because Charles Nelson Reilly and Paul Lynde may have been in the closet, but the door was wide open and they were in fact waving to people from inside.
Does she also think that if someone touches a gay person, then the formerly straight person will become gay? It's TRUE!
She might as well never watch a movie or tv show again. And her clothes were prbably designed by a gay too, looks like it's animal pelts for her!
The animals might have been gay.
He's not gay, he's asexual, I think he just loves everyone.
Has he ever dated a guy? If he has I never heard around it, which is amazing.In her case, die and let die. She is just spreading her stupidity to her children.
I don't know about dating, but he sure likes to demonstrate his preference:

Or maybe just bad to be *called* gay when you're not. Wouldn't it be understandable to be a tad pissed at that?
Being comedic, campy, "safe" gays that played to the stereotype made it easy. Macho leading men like Rock Hudson hade it tougher.
I think that the general opinion about James Dean is that he was bisexual, especially since he pretty much admitted it himself ("I don't want to go through life with one hand tied behind my back" comments), is known for having had relationships with both men and women, and was madly in love with Annamaria Pier Angeli... I don't think that many people believe he was gay, and it's hard to do so since there's too much evidence that contradicts it.
Not exactly gay... at least not consistently so
Relationships
Heche and Ellen DeGeneres
In the early 1990s, Heche dated both Another World costars Richard Burgi and David Forsyth.[3] She also dated musician Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac for a year in the early 1990s. Some speculate that she is the subject of Buckingham's barbed song "Come." Others speculate that he wrote "Down on Rodeo" on the Under the Skin album about her because he can be heard saying "Do you hear me, Annie?" at the end. Heche dated comedian Steve Martin for two years. She is rumored to be the basis for Heather Graham's character in Bowfinger, although Martin denies it.[4]
Heche's relationship with comedian Ellen DeGeneres and the events following their breakup became subjects of widespread media interest. The couple started dating in 1997 shortly after the famous "Puppy Episode" of DeGeneres' sitcom Ellen. At one point, the two said they would get a civil union if such became legal in Vermont. They also worked on film and TV projects together. They broke up in August 2000.
Shortly after the split, Heche began dating cameraman Coley Laffoon, whom she met while Laffoon was filming a comedy special for DeGeneres. They were married on September 1, 2001. Their son, Homer, was born six months later, on March 2, 2002. The couple formally separated in late January 2007.[5] Laffoon filed for divorce on February 2, 2007.[6] After a long-running court battle over spousal and child support, Heche and Laffoon reached a divorce settlement on March 4, 2009, two years after they separated.[3][7][8]
Sources say Heche left her husband for Men in Trees co-star James Tupper.[9] The couple reportedly moved in together in August, 2007.[10] Their son, Atlas Heche Tupper, was born over the weekend of March 7-8, 2009.[11]

Hi-larious.
Thanks for posting.
So, you think I'm offensive. Great.

I'd say the top 3 are:
Neil Patrick Harris-- Possibly not an A-list MOVIE star right now but his characters on Doogie Howser & How I Met Your Mother have become major TV icons. His versatile talent will likely keep him in the spotlight for decades to come.
Ellen DeGeneres-- One of the first major celebrities to come out of the closet while at the height of her popularity. Hers is probably the playbook that should be followed by any future celebrities coming out. Most importantly, she was never deceptive about it prior to her coming out and she quickly returned to being, you know, entertaining.
Rosie O'Donnell-- The anti-Ellen. Her militancy has done severe damage to her image. She seemed to lose sight of being entertaining immediately after she outed herself. Plus, I think that, in retrospect, her faux schoolgirl crush on Tom Cruise felt too much like an intentionally deceptive charade.

Alan Sues ??
On Laugh In he certainly came off as flamboyant as those two.
