I think it's interesting that you deleted the part of my posting that read,
"It's not like this is keeping me up nights or anything.  I'm just curious."

No, I am not interested in having sex with Burt Reynolds.  I simply find it
intriguing, *and* very sad, that actors have to put up such a "front" for
their supposedly "loving" public, instead of being accepted for what they
are.  This goes for everyone, actually, not just actors.  Look at Rock
Hudson, who struggled to keep his real self a secret for 30-odd years.

Sure, I'd like to see the day when everybody can feel comfortable with their
sexuality, no matter what it is.  Until then, no matter how an actor or
actress feels towards members of the same sex, they'll have to put on an
act of being real womanizers or...manizers?  (I don't hesitate to invent
words to suit my purposes!)
