Michael Douglas has been busy promoting Behind The Candelabra, where he plays the gay Liberace, a man who not only never came out, but even one a libel action against the Daily Mail for suggesting he likes boys more than girls. Now he’s been talking to Shortlist and has said that while times has changed, things have remained the same for some people.
He notes, “Without naming names, I certainly think there are a couple of people out there who have not come out in the spirit of protecting their careers and livelihoods. It’s probably a little bit more difficult going that way. I think that’s true.”
However he adds, “It’s a much smaller minority of people who think they still have to stay in the closet. It’s quite interesting to see how fast it’s all changed.”
Douglas also notes of Liberace that the fact he was gay didn’t make him any less of a man. “He may be gay, but he’s an Alpha Male on top of his game.”
