The studios all had morality clauses. If he had come out he would have not been able to get work. Very sad. There are so many stories we will never hear.
Kyle Sfhandyman The studios were a minor reason for not "coming out." Homosexuality was actually illegal, punishable by a stint in prison or a fine or both. Being convicted of being a homosexual in Idaho, for instance, carried a life-sentence in prison. This is history. Bad history. Gee, maybe this will explain "Brokeback Mountain" to some people who didn't get it.
Wow this Tab was beautiful, sad he had to stay int he closet back then though.But it was back in the racist, sexist and homophobic times, so it's not so shocking.
Times have Changed,What a guy? Not Enough & things will Go Steadily BACKWARDS ,if the Paranoid Wing Nuts of the Political/Religious "right"get their way.
William Hooper Well not really, back then it was illegal to even be gay, now it's fine.There just classed as second class citizens in America these days and other countries, thankfully I live in a modern country England where everyone is equal!

William Hooper Ignore all that UKIP lark no one here takes them seriously and it's just a group of racists, if you look at there meetings it's all mainly white older men with old fashioned values.

What a guy A bit difficult for me to decipher your reply,What a guy:for example,I have No Idea what you meant by "which sadly look like they will never do this in America"}Do WHAT in America? Actually,the attempts to Re-legalize Discrimination based on sexual orientation are on a state by state basis,go against existing laws,And Against National Policy and are a fringe,"right"wing effort.Generally,Updating of Anti-Discrimination Laws to include Sexual/Gender Orientation and of Hate Crime Laws has occurred /is occurring on a Wide-spread basis at Many[perhaps most]Local and State levels.Certainly we are ANYTHING BUT Putin's Russia!!! It's the Religious & Political right who seek to foment Hysteria and to Go BACKWARD!!! Thanks,What a guy,for your links! I shall look at them later.Meanwhile,I suggest that you look at these sites:Gay Star News,Queerty,Huffpost Gay Voices,and L.G.B.T. Nation. Actually,What a guy:When I clicked the links,I found they were both from Gay Star News and that I'd already seen them.STILL don't know what the Fuck you meant by"this will never happen in America"}Where/How do you come by your "information" on what's current in the U.S.!
