100-year-old famous actor comes out as gay

A Polish theater legend just came out as gay at 100-years-old.

Witold Sadowy, who was born about a year after the end of World War I, talked about his sexuality with TVP Kultura.

“I’m proud of being an honest person,” he said. “I am single, and I had no children, something to regret.”

“But I was born different. I’m gay. Now I have said it all, like in confession.”

From the article... "It’s appropriate that survival is the word Sadowy went to. He survived two world wars, Stalinist Poland, several revolts, and the fall of communism. He also survived being gay for a literal century in a country where a vast majority of people still say they believe homosexuality “is morally unacceptable” in recent polls."
