    I'm sure Anderson Cooper is gay, but he's not out of the closet yet. I think they should leave closeted people out of lists like these.

    WOAH! Jodie Foster is a lesbian? When did this happen?

    I'm with the others, I havn't heard much of the people who are on the list. Still a nice list to educate myself though.

    But seriously, when did Jodie Foster come out?

    They wouldn't add people that arent gay to the list though, so they have to come out to be added.

    Geffen created Asylum Records (which merged with Elektra Records to form Elektra/Asylum Records), and Geffen Records and is one of the three founders of Dreamworks SKG. Very powerful man, he's worth $6 billion.

    Keith Haring is a famous pop/contemporary artist (painter), he died of an HIV related disease. He got to know Andy Warhol and painted Grace Jones for one of her videos.

    Maybe keith isn't on there because he's dead. If dead gay's were on there, then Oscar Wilde would surely be on there, no?
