For those that think LGBT folks are currently in hell, back in the day even the most famous entertainers couldn't come out. Despite Elton John and Liberace being up-in-your-grill gay, it was not spoken of. They were merely a little "light in the loafers".

When I was a kid and Rock Hudson got AIDS the world was stunned to find out he was gay. Talk about in the deep closet!

My mum said there were a lot of disappointed women in the UK when Freddie Mercury turned out to be gay.

I guess she was one of them

I always knew he was straight! Just like Liberace, that closet-macho fraud

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Elton John's stage presence was influenced by Liberace, specially the wardrobe

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Which proves that he's obviously not gay.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

I'm pretty sure, that people were shocked when they found out Liberace was gay.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)
