Say it ain't so.....Merv Griffin played for

softball · 08-17-2007

the other team

“Merv Griffin was gay.
Why should that be so uncomfortable to read? Why is it so difficult to write? Why are we still so jittery even about raising the issue in purportedly liberal-minded Hollywood in 2007? We can refer to it casually in conversation, but the mainstream media somehow remains trapped in the Dark Ages when it comes to labeling a person as gay.
Maybe that helps explain why Griffin, who died of prostate cancer Sunday at 82, stayed in the closet throughout his life. Perhaps he figured it was preferable to remain the object of gossip rather than live openly as “one of them.” But how tremendously sad it is that a man of Merv’s renown, of his gregarious nature and social dexterity, would feel compelled to endure such a stealthy double life even as the gay community’s clout, and its levels of acceptance and equality, rose steadily from the ashes of ignorance.

I guess some of you guys are just more "sensitive" to those who walk a different path.

Ok, when Rock got sick, the cat was out of the bag about his other life.
Jim, well everyone knew he had to be.
Cary Grant? Please, please, tell me it ain't true!

Cary Grant had male lovers but also dated women. He was considered to be bi.
