The acceptance of the LGBTQ community has come a long way over the years. And here’s a list of famous gay men who were once married to women, all loosely ranked by fame and popularity. After all, isn't it a miracle when any Hollywood romance stands the test of time? And besides, the details of these relationships are far more interesting than the genders of those involved.
For example, one of these men had a sexual awakening after a drunken hookup. Another seemingly struggled with his sexuality his whole life, having at one point been out and proud in the mid-'90s, but then renouncing homosexuality as a sin in his older years. These are the male celebs who left their women for men.
Several famous men who have come out as gay have been married to women. While some married before they fully recognized that they were gay, others used their marriages to keep their sexuality a secret from the public.
From musicians to actors to politicians, love is the same for all. Celebrities like Elton John, Little Richard, Oscar Wilde, Anthony Perkins, Cole Porter, Alan Cumming and many others fall on this list.
