[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back when he was in his prime (early ‘90’s) it would have been a career dealbreaker if he had come out as gay.

Even thirty years ago - one could not be who they were, they had to pretend to be someone else.
Thank goodness these days it is SO much better.
Frank Ocean and Lil Nas have come out & no one bats an eye.
But three decades ago it was unheard of.

Glad the world has progressed to the place we are in now.[/quote]

Posters are forgetting TC was a teenage heartthrob. Teen girls were his biggest fan base so of course he was in the closet. Male artists targeting that demo still hide it today. Look at Harry Styles and Sean Mendez. They waited until they’d aged out of the teenybopper audience to become more publicly open with their sexuality.  [/quote]

It took George Michael 18-19 years to walk out of the closet that most people knew he was sheltering. More importantly he did not willingly come out of the closest of his own volition. He was outed when he was busted for soliciting sex with a man in a restroom. GM would not have been accepted as gay earlier in his career. [/quote]
