Rock Hudson died October 2, 1985

He was an icon, a ladies man, no one realized he was more in favour of the other gender. Hollywood icon Rock Hudson dies of AIDS on that day - he was the first Celeb and created a discussion which was needed! It changed a lot in our society not only for the awareness of AIDS but also for the equality of sexually independence especially around the gay community .

Before this the mainstream public ignored this as a “gay plague.” Hudson was a Hollywood heartthrob whose career in movies and TV spanned nearly three decades. However it was known what he really preferred but Hollywood did everything to protect his macho image, Hudson’s off-screen life as a gay man was kept secret from the public.
