    Thanks for posting. I knew his Dad was in the arts, but didn't know much about him.

    Apparently DeNiro was a little shaken up by coming clean with this. I think it was a classic case of a macho guy knowing his dad might be gay. I've seen this, and the approaches taken vary - regular friendship,distant friendship, hot and cold, resentment and insecurity by the child, among others.

    I think DeNiro is comfortable doing this now, at an advanced age and as an established star. There's no doubt DeNiro "had it" when he was younger.

    What's there not to like?

    Thanks for sharing. Amazing read.

    I find my thoughts often drift to "Everybody's Fine".

    It's amazing how much LGBT related stuff crosses my facebook trending sidebar. Probably some selective presentation of news stories there, based on browser cookies or whatever.
