Tab Hunter played Divine's boyfriend in John Water's movie "Polyester". That was as close as a coming out in those days.

Eight of your ten "heartthrobs" (Raymond Burr was never in any way, shape or form considered a heartthrob by teens) were gay or bisexual but two were not: the rumor about Rory Calhoun centered ONLY in the agent that he shared with Tab and Rock, and, most preposterously of all, the inclusion of straight John Kerr ONLY because he had co-starred with Deborah Kerr in the play and movie "Tea and Sympathy", about a straight, sensitive boarding school student that's bullied for being perceived gay.
