According to Timmy's rules anyone can post a new Famous Gay if the previous solver has not done so within 30 hours. (Why 30?)
Anyway, this one should be dead easy, even though the pic is from a very long time ago. He is dead, but his orientation was known to very few indeed until after his death.

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)

Obi-Wan Kenobi? Would he be gay just because he had a thing for Droids???

Sorry, Uncle Jim. I was under some emotional pressure yesterday and made a big boob. (Not for the first time and not for the last time.) Forgive me, please. Yes, the picture is of a very young Alec Guinness. His gayness was a lifetime secret:
The general public were not made aware of his homosexual inclinations until April 2001, eight months after his death, when it was reported in The Sunday Times that three biographers were to reveal that it was something that he had struggled with throughout his life. In 1946 he had been arrested and fined ten guineas for a homosexual act in a public lavatory in Liverpool, but he avoided publicity by giving his name as Herbert Pocket to the police and the court. The name was taken from the character in Charles Dickens's Great Expectations that he had played on stage in 1939 and was also about to play in the film directed by David Lean. The incident did not become public knowledge, unlike that of John Gielgud seven years later in 1953 which received a great deal of press attention.
Over to you, Uncle Jim.

Ok, I reckon Uncle Jim got it first so gets the next go. Sailorman, can you pick up the next "There has not been one for ages"?
Unless you two boys agree something different of course!

Be my guest Sailorman. I didn't really guess his name, but he looked like Obi-Wan to me. Didn't know he had died. Next you'll be telling me Darth Vader is gay...
