and just in case...

...you're not up on all the other gays out there... here's a short list of others you may be shocked to know are/were homosexualists...

kd lang (shocked? me too, considering she's Miss Chatelaine and all)

Melissa Etheridge (no really! she's gay!)

Ellen Degeneres (funny AND gay? it can't be!)

Portia de Rossi (but she's pretty?! Guilt by association... and um, gay marriage)

Rosie o'Donnell (Ok, technically, she's not gay, but her girlfriend is)

Elton John (so THAT'S what the song Rocketman is all about? Hnn, I never knew!)

George Michael (and here I thought he was only a druggie?!)

the Pet Shop Boys (They have an exclusivity supply agreement to Richard Gere. heh)

Eurasure (trust me)

Lance Bass (Well obviously)

Rupert Everett (WOW! and here I thought all that refined femininity was because he was British?!)

Dolce & Gabanna (and? AND?! Dolce, ok sure! but GABANNA too!!!)

Boy George (There's something up with that name George)

Neil Patrick Harris (OMG! They got Doogie Howser!)

Freddy Mercury (well that's a given, his band's name was QUEEN, ok, fine)

Liberace (I shit you not!)

And in no particular order a few others you may or may not have heard of. This is obviously not a complete list of all the gays out there... this is more or less just to bring you up to speed a little...
