Coming out: Mol’s fame started to peak from the 1970s onward with Dutch television show Wie van de Drie? (To Tell the Truth), where he was the undisputed entertainer. Not long before that, in 1969, he had come out on national television during an interview(Submitted on September 28, 2026.)with Dutch talk-show host Koos Postema. This was a groundbreaking moment in LGBTQ+ emancipation. When Postema asked him whether he was gay, Mol looked right into the camera and answered: “If you promise not to tell anyone else: yes!”Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, August 31, 20262.
