It's none of our business, but it does annoy me when people pretend to be straight, especially if they know they're gay and choose to get married and have kids - incredibly selfish. I suppose if Kelly knew before they got married, then that would be different.
Half of the bloomin guys in showbiz are gay, so I'm not really sure why he feels the need to hide it. His belief in the farce that is Scientology certainly won't have helped his feelings of shame on the matter.
What I can remember though and I swear this on all of my families lives is that when I went to NY and met up with a guy who introduced me to his friends said they knew he was gay it was soooo boring and old news and he was a hustler (like a rent boy) when he was younger. They were even bored when I looked shocked and said everyone knew it.
On the whole it is better if famous and influential people don't tell a lot of massive lies. If nothing else, it confirms in the minds of gay teenagers in religious families that their inclinations are a source of shame. I think young people in the US need as many positive gay role models as they can get.
These rumours have been going about for years, but until John T confirms it himself - highly unlikely given his religious inclination - then the whispers are just going to run and run.
But who's to say he is actually gay, if he's bi then it's perfectly understandable that he lives with a woman, if like everyone else is saying he's gay but won't come out because of his religion then surely he wouldn't be doing anything with any men anyway, it would be a bit pointless denying your gay if you still get it on with men. I don't think anyone should live their life for other people only for themselves whether their famous or not.
Rumours & stories have always surounded John about his sexuality. I believe he is at least bisexual but who cares? He seems happy enough, he had another baby and his wife seems happy. Besides, he doesn't need friends outing him like that in interviews.
YOU ARE 100% RIGHT. HE IS A HYPOCRITE. IF HE DIDNT
PROMOTE SCIENTOLOGY IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT MATTER
So if he were Aglican, Catholic or Muslim it would be ok ? none of those are particularly welcoming of homosexuality.
I agree that I am not a fan of forcible outing, except perhaps for politicians, who are expected to be honest about their private lives. And of course even if JT has history, it doesn't follow that he is at all gay now. Not sure what Carrie Fisher is playing at really.
Carrie, while talking to a gay/lesbian periodical, was asked about Travolta being "outed" in the National Enquirer et al in comments made by interior designer Robert Randolph.
Quizzed as to whether she thought Travolta ought to sue over such comments she gave an opinion that most of us here would likely have, in that it is widely assumed that he is at least Bisexual, nobody really thinks it's a big deal (tabloids and other licensed bigots aside!), and making a big fuss about such allegations gives them more prominence and more "currency" in the gossip market.
She didn't "out" him or "claim" that he is gay, she said that, from her perspective she assumed such and it was of little importance.
Of course she should, perhaps, have remembered the caveat that applies when you "assume"
Thanks for the clarification.
With the power of Scientology. :cool:

Next she'll be saying so is Simon Cowell. :eek:
NEVER!!!!
He is still blissfully in love with Sinitta (17)
When people very publicly campaign against it, I think it's fine to expose their hypocrisy. However, as far as I know Travolta doesn't fall into that category. His religion may be against it, but the same is true of most major religions. I think that's too indirect to hold against him personally.
