        Absolutely not! He's a wonderful performer! Being gay has nothing to do with it! It just makes him even better! Keep on preforming

        I just asked my 84 year old mother if it bothers her. Her reaction: why on earth would it? Is he doing okay? I want another album!

        Thing with this is that everyone usually knows, but are respectful enough to let people come out at their own time.

        Not disappointed, always thought so but want 100% sure. He's so talented, being gay doesn't change that. He is still Barry Manilow!

        Everybody knew he was gay back in the 70's. This shows how ridiculous your news is.
