Gay Hollywood

I love reading all the tell-all biographies about who was up to what in the supposed "golden age" of Hollywood. There's one that came out recently called Full Service: My Adventures in Hollywood and the Confidential Sex Lives of the Starsabout a guy who ran an same-sex escort service for all the closeted actors and actresses of the day.

In some ways I wish I was living 50 years in the future so I could read the tell-all biographies of today's stars. I yearn to read about Zac Efron secretly doing the middle Jonas Brother on the tour bus.

Pretty much every time I’ve written about Matt Bomer, even in passing, in a post about another celebrity, I’ve mentioned that he’s gay. I’ve mentioned it because I always thought that it was worth saying, because there was some misinformation about him, and because Bomer lived in “the glass closet.” He never lied about being gay, and before White Collar, he was an openly same-sex attracted actor.
