What's Different About Two New Studio Heads?:
Amid all the recent turbulence and turnover afflicting Universal and Disney, a few interesting milestones were reached. For starters, Disney’s new boss Rich Ross (pictured at left) became the first openly gay man selected to run a Hollywood studio. Across town, new Universal co-chair Donna Langley is the first British woman appointed to a similar post, and only the second Brit ever (after Columbia chairman David Puttnam 20 years ago) to oversee a major. Congratulations to both — and don’t screw this up. [LAT, The Guardian]

Oh, OPENLY gay. I was going to say, what about Diller, Eisner, Katzenberg... You could do a whole article called "Bottom to Top."
By the way I've always found the term "openly gay" to be at once too-sexual and either insulting or a sad commentary. Openly African-American, anyone?
