Charlton Heston: “I am heterosexual”, March 7, 1993

The explicit identity claim,“I am heterosexual”, appeared in The New York Times for the first, and only time, on March 7, 1993, in a report on a Conservative Summit at which Charlton Heston, the movie actor, was master of ceremonies and “warmed up the crowd”:

Mr. Heston announced that he was probably "one of the most politically incorrect people" in Washington. "I am heterosexual, Anglo-Saxon, married to the same woman for 49 years, and not the recipient of any entitlement of any kind," he said.
