Everyone knows there are loads of gay men on Broadway, performers, composers, directors, designers, you name it. What about the women? Who are some women who are out on Broadway?

If we are throwing long ago speculatives onto the list, there has always been lots of rumor about Mary Martin's sexuality.

That's right - Mary Martin and Janet Gaynor were longtime buddies. Even their husband were buddies. The couples traveled and we're always seen together.

Martin was also supposedly romantically linked early in her career to Jean Arthur (who was a Broadway actress). There was a book called "The Princess and the Goblin" which was kind of like a Valley-of-the-Dolls semi-fictional trash expose novel written about their relationship.

Out magazine did an article, and it listed Roberta Colindrez as one of the people in the cast of Fun Home who are "queer" but that could also mean bisexual or something else. All I know is she's part of the LGBTQ+ community.

I think Waitress ensemble Molly Hager and Beautiful's Jessica Keenan Wynn are a couple.
