Any one know at least 3 popular people/actors/artist that covered themselfs because they were gay and did not want people to know that they were?

Thanks

well I have this paper I am just trying to find shit to write on.

Like Cover who they really are, and give what people want so that they are more accepted.

Also whats that movie with I think robin williams were he was working someplace and they found out he was gay and fired him and there was a huge court thing, he won and then was dieing from aids.

I cant seem to find it.

Yes
Ian McKellen
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005212/

But he came out in 1988, not exactly recently:

While McKellen had made his sexuality known to his fellow actors early on in his stage career, it was not until 1988 that he came out to the general public
"

Damn, well.. I'll sure never think the same of him again.

You're writing a paper about homosexuality and you don't know the word "closeted."

no I am not writing a paper about homosexuality. Its just extra fluff about the topic to fill up the pages. Its an argument paper so I can basically put anything that argues my point lol.
