| I think it's pretty fair to say that the gays are thoroughly pissed off about this. At least my particular cache of New York City gays. Because everyone was already pretty cranked that Kevin Spacey had essentially tried to re-closet himself in 1999, and somehow communicated over the years that it was a subject to be toyed and played with, winked and hinted at, including the custom lyrics written for him at this year's Tony Awards, when he began singing by saying... "I'm coming out..." And then joked that no, of course he wasn't actually COMING OUT. (Because why would a successful actor do such a thing?) There's an article in an Australian news site which I've linked below, which recounts some of this history: "Following a 1997 profile piece in Esquire magazine titled “Kevin Spacey has a secret” that strongly implied the actor is gay, Spacey denied the rumours in a Playboy interview. In the story, he went to great effort to paint a picture of a heterosexual bachelor lifestyle. “Women want to be the one to turn me around. I let them,” he told the magazine, referring to the rumours. In a 1999 interview with The Sunday Times, he was asked directly whether he’s gay.“The answer to that is no ... but why should it matter?” For Mr. Spacey to find that NOW of all moments is the time to come out publicly, only when you're being accused of attempted child molestation? Yeah. Not a good look. And a bunch of my friends thinks he fully deserves all the vitriol that's coming his way. Honestly, I don't have a whole lot of compassion for the guy. But serious props to Anthony Rapp. - GMB |
