Are you freaking kidding me? Merv Griffin and Johnny Mathis are both poofters???
Don't know about Mathis. Griffin's was something of an open secret in the industry, but so quiet that very very few people had any suspicion until after his passing.
In a strange way, I can almost admire that. That Griffin was private about it. That he came to be respected for his personality and talent, not what he was doing on his own time.
Chances are.
