He not only denied being gay in the past, but went as far as to do a tv special talking about a straight relationship he had.

I feel he did harm to the gay community in the past, so am not inclined to use him as an example of a gay public figure who has helped the gay community.

Don’t get me wrong, I completely respect an individuals right to keep their private life private, and I don’t believe in outing people (unless they are hypocritical polticians who are affecting policy) but he went to such an extreme in his denial.

I am not gay, so I figure I might be wrong in how I feel about this, so I wanted to ask the gay community.
