I doubt seriously that being gay would end his career. And yes, there've been many a Hollywood type rumored to be gay, but I had always thought those rumors were started by the gay community, rather than by someone trying to destroy an actor's career.

Then again, what the heck to I know...

I remember Rock Hudson -- all those years having to hide his homosexuality...even to the point of marrying for a brief period. In his day, being gay would have killed his career for sure. Toward the end of his life, when it was finally revealed for sure, Hollywood and most of his fans rallied to him. Wouldn't have happened years ago.

It may not end his career, but I think it'd probably weaken his box office power. It'd kill a lot of wistful fantasies, and that has to have a commercial impact.
