>He was out pretty early. He came to fame in the early 1970s, when it was still a risky career move to say you were gay. (Apparently it still is -- there are rampant rumors that some of the biggest movie stars are gay and won't come out of the closet). At first he said he was bisexual, then said (in a Rolling Stone interview IIRC) that he is gay. Since then he's tried to hide it about as much as Liberace.

>Personally I don't have anything against gays. I just think when they're histrionic and campy like Elton John is they're fair game for a few jokes.

I had NO IDEA.
Yeah, he dressed funny and he's English but that's how they all are over there. :)

Like I said, I still like a lot of his music.
