If we are throwing long ago speculatives onto the list, there has always been lots of rumor about Mary Martin's sexuality.

That's right - Mary Martin and Janet Gaynor were longtime buddies. Even their husband were buddies. The couples traveled and we're always seen together.

Martin was also supposedly romantically linked early in her career to Jean Arthur (who was a Broadway actress). There was a book called "The Princess and the Goblin" which was kind of like a Valley-of-the-Dolls semi-fictional trash expose novel written about their relationship.

Andrew Rannells is definitely my favourite lesbian. Thanks everyone!

There are quite a few behind the scenes too (General managers and company managers)

Out magazine did an article, and it listed Roberta Colindrez as one of the people in the cast of Fun Home who are "queer" but that could also mean bisexual or something else. All I know is she's part of the LGBTQ+ community.

I think Waitress ensemble Molly Hager and Beautiful's Jessica Keenan Wynn are a couple.

Maude Adams (America's 1st Peter Pan) was a Lesbian. She and her lover share a grave out here on Ronkonkoma, Long Island.
