I find it interesting that he is proud of something that he concealed for 66 years.

It is more a sense of finally coming to peace with your true self, and being in a place where you feel safe in letting others know.

While it is not that big of a deal for many today, it would have been fatal to his career years ago.

esp. for a guy who was getting a ton of work in animated features...

he wouldn't get those roles if the studios faced even the threat of boycott from one of those right wing groups (because a child hearing the voice of a gay man will "turn them gay"... yeesh)

So, basically, they wait until they don't HAVE a career, and then come out? I thought it was fashionable to be gay in Hollywood these days?
