Journalist Being this list too long, we split it in six parts; from "B-52's" to Barreto -- from Barrett to Belverio -- from Ben to Blackwood from Blaes to Bowery -- from Bowie to Brown -- from Browne to Byron NOTE Not all of these people were or are openly Gay / Lesbian / Trasgender / Bisexual. Some of them are just important to GLTB world even if they weren't part of it. Some indeed "came out" but others, rather, clearly denied it, and they possibly were sincere. So, this list doesn't affirm anything more than they are presumed (for several historical evidences, or just for rumors) to be Gay or, on their own admission, to have "tried it" at least once, or else, as we said, they just are important to GLTB world. If you have missing data to add, more names, or above all biographical news and/or pictures of the personnages named here, please send them to us at andrej@andrejkoymasky.com. Thank you very much.
