Where the wild things are (gay)

Illustrator Maurice Sendak, author of the classic children's book Where the Wild Things Are, has publicly come out at the age of 80.
In a New York Times interview, Sendak responded to the question if there was anything he’d never been asked.
“Well, that I’m gay,” he answered. “I just didn’t think it was anybody’s business.”
Sendak lived with Dr Eugene Glynn, a psychoanalyst, for 50 years before Glynn’s death in May 2007.
Sendak said he never told his parents about his sexuality because he wanted to make them happy; and that he hadn’t come out when younger because the idea of a gay man writing children’s books would have hurt his career when he was in his 20s and 30s, the paper reported.
