Elton John
Sir Elton John is one of pop music's great survivors. Born 25 March 1947 as Reginald Kenneth Dwight, he started to play the piano at the early age of four. At the age of 11 he won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music. He announced he was a bisexual in 1976 and in 1984 he married Renate Blauel (it lasted four years) before he finally came to terms with the fact that he was actually homosexual.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005056/bio
Keanu Reeves
Keanu is a real melting pot of nationalities. Born (September 2, 1964) in Beirut to an English-born mother and half-Hawaiian, half-Chinese father. Keanu's mother Patricia met father Samuel Nowlin Reeves (Geologist) while she was working as a showgirl at a local club. A fat rumor in 1995 was his marriage with David Geffen, the entertainment guru. To the gay monthly Out magazine Keanu claimed not to know Geffen personally. In this issue on the front cover: "Keanu Reeves Sets the Record... uh, Straight". It has also been reported Geffen did have a personal assistant that looked similar to Keanu."I don't know why anyone cares [if I'm gay], and I don't know if it matters or not. I just, uh, I don't -- it's, you know, the whole aspect of coming out. I mean, there is a whole -- people, you know, who are gay [who] have decided that it can be -- that whole thing about calling people out -- and you have to share that, because there needs to be an equality and a lack of prejudice, and you need to have a voice, so, I mean, it's important, but I'm not involved in those dynamics and I have no point of view on it." --Keanu (USA Today)

It’s frustrating to see how a lot of gorgeous men finally decide to spread their wings and follow their hearts. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have anything against gays. I’m just curious why they have to disguise for quite some time and then eventually reveal their true selves. It’s just disappointing to know that even the most masculine and tough guy you know now might be a different being in a year or so, or worse, they might have already evolved without letting you know.
My point is, if you have it in you, then flaunt it! Come out of your closet. There’s no wrong in being a gay. In fact, it’s so happy to be gay! I have a couple of gay friends and they are so cheerful and highly spirited. The world seems a little less complicated when I’m with them. They tell you what they really feel and not what you want to hear. They tell you when you’ve got split ends or when you look so haggard already. The society will eventually be able to accept that God didn’t only create men and women. As long as you are a law-abiding citizen and you live your life without stepping on other people, then I don’t see any problem regarding your gender.
I don’t get it why some men take years before they realize that they are really one of us. Are they afraid that the environment they are in won’t accept them? Are they anxious how their friends will react? Or maybe there are deeper reasons even them may not know.
Well, for me, I don’t see any reason why they should hide it. Just be yourself and God will do the rest.
