John Travolta’s Homosexuality
From the perspective of John Travolta’s PR team; it seems that there is a conspiracy against the movie star to paint him as a homosexual. When in reality he has always been straight. The first person to ever come forward with allegations that John Travolta was hiding his true sexuality from the public was a porn star by the name of Paul Barresi. Paul came out with his story about John Travolta all the way back in 1990. He and John Travolta had been engaged in a romantic relationship that lasted for two years. It is from 1983 to 1985.
