Editor's note: We were heartbroken to learn of the passing of legendary voice actor Kevin Conroy this morning.

We are reposting this, and some of our other favorite pieces about Mr. Conroy in honor of his legacy and his role in this Batman fandom. You can read our obituary for Kevin Conroy here.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY RELATED: The Love-Hate Bond Between Tim Burton's 'Batman' and 'The Animated Series' Gay people are still dealing with the rejection from communities, the harassment from others for daring to be just a little open, and being forced to live a double life. One outward presenting, repressing basic parts of your personality, and hiding things about yourself to avoid being berated for just existing. The other; nicer and more open, where you can actually be yourself around people that you trust with all of your heart.
As an adult, Conroy dealt with prejudice in his work life and his personal life. He was often ridiculed by coworkers and employers who just so happened to find out about his sexuality. Because no matter how well you hide and blend in as "passing," at some point, people will find out.
