SNL's History With Gay Hosts

Neil Patrick Harris hosted Saturday Night Live last night. Most of it was unfunny, except for a marginally amusing bit about Broadway falling on hard times. I was wondering about SNL's history with gay hosts and went off to Wikipedia to research. Here's what I found.

1976: Lily Tomlin. Not out at the time.
1976: Anthony Perkins. Died without coming out.
1976: Jodie Foster. Not out at the time.
1982: Lily Tomlin. Not out at the time.
1983: Ed Koch. STILL not out officially.
1984: Ed Koch. STILL not out officially.
