For some time now, the LGBTQ community has proudly taken a stand, enlightened people, and made them understand that choosing unconventional sexuality is not a problem.

A few people have accepted this truth, but there have been those individuals who are not ready to have such conversations about sexuality.

Still, this has not affected the community as they are hell-bent on advocating for their rights as humans, to be loved and accepted to an extent.

For decades, many entertainers struggled with publicly establishing their grounds regarding sexuality, especially when it falls on the flip side. The entertainment industry and tabloids did not make it any easier.

CHAD ALLEN'S SCANDALOUS OUTING

Allen's scandal occurred in 1996; the Hollywood star had been keeping his sexuality a secret until, well, thanks to the ever-watchful eyes of the media, the tabloids reported his story of being gay.

At the time, most of the leading roles in Hollywood romance stories would instead be given to a heterosexual man rather than a gay person. The industry was scared of alienating the audience.

Allen's team asked him to get a girlfriend as a facade to help with the scandal, but he chose not to be discreet about his romantic life.
