#BarryManilow stayed closeted because #comingOut in the 70s and 80s as #gay “would have killed” his career.

The #singer, who’s been with his husband for more than 47 years, wasn’t hiding his #sexuality — he just didn’t discuss it publicly in that era.

Before rainbow logos and corporate #Pride campaigns, #IanMcKellen came out as #gay publicly in 1988 while fighting Section 28 — despite warnings. He went on to help found #Stonewall and became one of Britain’s most influential #LGBTQ+ voices.

I wrote a #song called “Sorry for That Night” about the worst thing I’ve ever done.
