Zachary Quinto Comes Out as an Activist


ZACHARY QUINTO X390 (GETTY) | ADVOCATE.COM

Heroes star Zachary Quinto has signed himself up for a big, gay weekend.

Quinto is slated to appear at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center’s annual gala on Saturday night, followed by an appearance at a Los Angeles staging of The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later on Sunday.

The Star Trek star will join TV actors Pauley Perrette (NCIS) and Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), and Broadway’s Barrett Foa, among others at the reading of The Laramie Project.

Chelsea Handler will host the center’s gala, which will honor Wanda Sykes and Miss Coco Peru, among others.

Quinto has long been a vocal supporter of gay rights and issues. In September, he appeared alongside Debra Messing and Jason Alexander at a one-night-only benefit stage reading of one-act plays about gay marriage.

    I, for one, welcome his support of the community, and particularly the It Gets Better campaign. If he appears as one of the actors in Laramie Project, or if he stars in the new production of Angels in America, well, he's an actor, a very cute actor, but still an actor. Other than for gossip purposes, I see no reason why he needs to declare which team he plays for. I only care that he's happy, and I'll continue to support his work.

    We will continue to say someone is bisexual, gay or lesbian because. the world thinks everyone is straight, and I don't see anyone screaming, Why are they talking about who Brad Pitt is sleeping with? They do this only for bisexuals or the gay community, because the straight community is fearful of what someone is doing in their bedroom. end of story! Also, it doesn't say he's gay, but he's rumored to be bisexuals. just to point that out.

    Why is everybody (it seems it's everyone, so forgive me if you, the reader is not amongst the f**king homophobes!) on every celebrity or good-looking guy's case? Why is it important who he goes to bed with or what he does in his own privacy? Or don't they know the meaning of "privacy"? Let him (an everybody else (such as Matthew Bomer and many others)) be - this is the TWENTY-FIRST century, for Pete's sake! A person sexuality has sweet Fanny Adams to do with anybody else. Being gay does NOT make someone a bad person or a bad actor or whatever label you homophobes (who might be in the closet yourselves - two-faced jackals!) want to pin on him! So, look at yourself, your children and leave us alone!

    Stop getting your panties in a twist. So what if we assume he is gay? Straight people assume people they don't know to be straight all the time and I don't hear anyone getting upset about that. If (and I only say if because I can't confirm anything) he was gay and others were calling him straight, would you react the same? Probably not!!! So get off your freaking high horse, stop treating being gay as though it was something wrong, and shut the hell up, you homophobe.

    I'm the first to admit I've got suspicions about our dear Mr. Quinto batting for the other team, so to speak. But whether he's gay or not, good on him for standing up for us! Well played, Zach... well played. And to the idiots who keep waging a homophobia war, please remember this... IT. DOESN'T. MATTER. He's a wonderful actor and a wonderful person, and that's all anyone should care about. God bless, Nicole
