Zachary Quinto Opens Up About Life 'As A Gay Man'

[nevermore]

It shouldn't be a big deal but it is. To many LGBT people the more celebrities that come out the more hope they have that their lifestyle will be accepted eventually. Many of these celebrities bring attention to the community and the fight for marriage equality. Movements like the It Gets Better project also benefit from celebrities that come out and help non-celebrity LGBT people.

Yeah. He wasn't exactly any kind of breakout star before he came out... if anything, this is the first time he's been talked about in the media since "OMG he kinda sorta looks like a young Leonard Nimoy!"

"i know, right" lol

[Andrew NDB]

I'm scratching my head as to how anyone thinks coming out will hurt this guy's career.

Once again it's because tazz posted it in the wrong section.

[Mister.Weirdo]

I despise that fact.
Anyway why is this post in the Games and Humor section anyway, it seems like something you'd find in the General/About us section.

ok let me rephrase it.
Average people dont get fired from their job just for being gay without that company commiting a very illegal rights violation.

Sometimes its masked by another reason which is wrong but you wont really see "is gay" as the reason for termination.

Sexual orientation isn't a nationally recognized protected class, so depending on State and Local laws you can, in fact, be fired from your job for being gay.

Rights violation sure, but not an illegal act.

Watch Brokeback Mountain.

Fantastic movie.

[Razorgod]

so basicly your saying they could fire a gay person but say it was for lets say stealing or always missing work?

If you're stealing or missing work, you probably should be fired.

they have to be able to prove said violations in order to be clear of any legal action.

I lvoe that everyone says keep you life private when a gay person comes out but we are a-ok with all the high profile views of who all the straights are dating. A sex tape of a Kardashian will show up and damn near the entire world wants to see it but if a gay actors sex tape came out it would be EWWWWW Keep that shit private its no ones business. It's a disguting and sad mindset. No one seems to have problems with straight people discussing their sexuality right? Rap music is damn near nothing but dudes talking about how much pussy they wanna pipe. I don't hear anyone telling them to keep it private. On another note, if a hot female celeb came out and said she was a lesbian half the men in the world would hang on every word she says about it and couldn't wait to hear more.

i think the issue is train is that people freak out regarding same sex couples is because to them they think its disgusting. now me personally i dont care if you want to get a group of guys together and get some orgy going.

when these nutjob bible thumping religious nuts go around and preach oooooh its a choice i even ask them tell me if thats true then would that confirm that means i or every other person chooses to be a hetrosexual?

that whole argument regarding its a choice is complete bullshit.

i do however believe some ( not all) but some people do tend to say im comming out to gain some form of fame.

[Robinson]
