Most likely, there are fewer gay people among entertainers, proportionally speaking. Most gay people are in the closet, and it's very hard to keep a huge secret like that in a world that seems to be voraciously hungry to know all the details of the lives of celebrities, especially their romantic lives. Many celebrities say it's much easier to live with the truth than the lies.

gays are mentally ill

Compared to heterosexuals, the report found gay men who killed themselves were likelier to have had a diagnosed mental health condition,

research has determined that gays and lesbians are among the U.S. subgroups at an increased risk of suicidal behavior,

• LGB youth seriously contemplate suicide at almost three times the rate of heterosexual youth.2
• LGB youth are almost five times as likely to have attempted suicide compared to heterosexual youth.2

• In a national study, 40% of transgender adults reported having made a suicide attempt. 92% of these individuals reported having attempted suicide before the age of 25.3

etc

When Hunter and Hudson were on top, very few people even knew what gay meant. To admit you were homosexual meant the end of your career. In the mid 20th century, it would have been more acceptable if you admitted to murder than being homosexual. Thus these major stars did not reveal anything about their sexuality. There was plenty of scandal and rumors but there was always scandal and rumors about Hollywood stars so the public payed little attention and they remained box office draws for decades.

Rock Hudson was so afraid of being discovered, he would send anonymous letters to lovers. When scandal of homosexuality arouse in the media, he or the studio arranged dates with gorgeous up and coming stars and fuel gossip about the pair. He was so deeply in the closet, he never made a public statement about his sexuality while he was alive. However, when he had aids he did reveal much to his closest friends.

Tab Hunter never admitted being homosexual until he was 75 years old. In 2013 he married his partner of 35 years. Unlike Hudson, Hunter established long relations with only a few people, namely Anthony Perkins and Allan Glaser who he later married.

And now we have gender neutral bathrooms in public schools, and gay couples in every commercial on TV. I’ve never seen that many gay people in captivity. I didn’t know they existed. Must be in California. They have everything there.

You can't blame that on Rock. He never came out the closet. He dated women, fed the gossip mill about affairs with women and even got marry to hide his true sexuality. He did all the things gays were suppose to do in the 20th century.

Yeah he was a class A faggot just like many others in Hollywood who pretend to tell others how they should live and what to think. Hell they can't even run their own lives.

I have not found any public statement made while he was alive that he admitted to being gay. Privately he shared it with close friends and it appeared in a biography. This guy was so deeply in the closet, I can imagine him ever coming out even when he had aids.

He approved of press release that said he had Aids. Remember this was 1985 and people knew very little about Aids. There were claims that the disease was spread in bath houses. There were claims that Aids was a disease that effected only homosexual men. Then were was a case of women with aids and then others that were infected claim they never had homosexual relationships. It wasn't until after Hudson's death that we really started pouring money into research and learned about HIV and ways it was transmitted.

In 1985 as it is today, saying you have Aids was not admitting to being a homosexual. When his biography came out and close friends like Doris Day and Elizabeth Taylor made documentaries about him the true of his sexuality came out, something he was never able to do himself. Strange, the legendary movie hero and image masculinity was never able to say to his fans, "I'm gay".

 

[Frankeneinstein]

..one of my favorite movies is Ice Station Zebra
I think he said that was his favorite also

That was a good movie but my favorite Rock Hudson part was as police commissioner McMillan in the TV series McMillan and wife...I never knew he was gay until the 80's when "outing" was all the rage.

Liberace.

Were the fifties less uptight than sixty years hence?

The 50's were way more uptight than 60's plus people were naive about homosexuality. There were effeminate men and masculine women but homosexuals were mentally and/or physically impaired lowlifes that haunted restrooms and ended up in mental institutions or jails. They were no one's son, father, or brother. They didn't exist in good families.

Liberace was nothing like Rock Hudson. Liberace's trademark was his effeminacy and Rock Hudson's trademark was his masculinity. Liberace was a favorite of middle aged and older women while Rock Hudson was the heartthrob of young women.

Take at look at Liberace in his 50's, TV show. This guy was so gay. Yet his fans completely dismissed his sexuality. However, like Hudson he never admitted that he was gay and would arrange to be seen with young beautiful women to counteract any rumors of his homosexuality.

Rock Hudson worked within the studio system. There were, in fact other closeted Gay men and women in the exact same circumstance as Rock Hudson was in. His sexuality did not influence his work.

It makes no sense to erase the work he produced and the good will he left behind with facts that were of no consequence at the time?

It's strange that what he feared most in his life, the exposure of his true sexuality became his greatest accomplishment in his death. He brought Aids into the headlines and fund raising drives raised millions for Aids research.

Rock Hudson's burden in his time was a burden imposed on him by society. The disdain many people felt for homosexuality, and unfortunately still do, served an ignoble purpose.

A lot of this is changing with the younger generation.

One thing that is changing is the stereotype of gays is beginning to die. People look at Rock Hudson and say how can anyone like this be gay. He simple does not fit the image of a gay man. Then they see their neighbor, a Iraq war vet, a football player, manger of a little league team is now living with his male partner. Destroying stereotype images of minorities is a major step in eliminating discrimination and bias. The lack of stereotypes forces a person to see other people as individuals and not just members of a group with preconceive characteristics.
