Everyone has personal heros. Oftentimes, those heros may change as you travel through your life. That has happened to me this very evening.
Richard Chamberlain is this “actor guy” whom I only remember from that great movie “SHOGUN” (I never watched his other stuff). That’s so appropriate, as I am about to visit Japan with my partner in October.
Tonight, Richard was on the Larry King show (on CNN). He was basically “coming out” (originally 3 months ago when he released his book about his life). But what was so compelling to me is that his story is SO similar to what I believe is the “common story” for most gay men (not the outrageous ones you see on TV).. Everything he said resonated with me and my own life.
He’s a normal (and talented) guy. He’s got an “above normal” life (hay, celebrity brings money). But he’s been in his relationship for a LONG LONG TIME.. and he’s HAPPY… Whether you are heterosexual or homosexual, if you missed this Larry King interview, you MISSED OUT on LIFE. Richard… YOU ROCK!!!!
