So what are the options? Better to be brought up by a single mom on crack and slave wages? He blames Hollywood for his lack of career, maybe he should blame it on the fact that he can’t act, his face is falling off, his best work was in the 80s, and he is just another aging queen terrified of getting older. Oh, and those jibes about Jennifer Aniston’s stale romcom career were rich, guess who cornered the market on gay best friends.

I think the great majority of gay men do hide their sexuality from most co-workers because of this. But to attribute his declining career to him being out is a bit of a long-shot: I don’t think he is THAT talented.

If ALL the gay celebrities and actors came out, maybe it wouldn’t be such a huge issue, because half of them are.

Its a lot tougher if you’re openly gay and trying to cut it in hollywood. But like any fight for civil liberties, those on the front line have to suffer so that the future may be more accepting for those that come after. The first few actors or sportsmen or politicians or whatever that come out cause a stir then it becomes normal. Surely that’s a more rewarding legacy to leave the world than a fistful of dollars you may have made had you stayed in the closet? It really short sighted. And to say that others should not come out is just really going backwards. Yoh what message is it sending.

Why should a gay actor take up the fight for civil liberties even if he is famous? My thinking is that only if he wants to! Anyway, being in the closet would make a gay actor?s life an unhappy one, so that would the be the price that he would have to pay, but that is up to him to decide.
