Glee's Chris Colfer Not Out After All?

When anyone pries into my sexual preferences, my standard response is this: "I only discuss my sex life with people who want to have sex with me. Should I add you to that list?" That usually ends the unwelcomed probing, and may work for celebrities as well!

I have to say it was great to see just about ALL of the comments on this thread commending and supporting this Chris Colfer. Michael, your comment is EXACTLY why people in general have a problem being open about who they are. Not only does discrimination come from straight people it apparently comes from gay people as well, which you so eloquently blurted out here. Deciding how to handle your acting career is a very difficult and daunting task, at ANY age. And if certain people, yes YOU Hilton Perez, would just let people do their jobs then maybe we could all go back to judging actors on their work (and whether we like it), instead of judging them for who they sleep with and if we believe their performances based solely on that. Outting people and being bitchy isn't going to help the fight for equality. It will only push it further away.

I'm sure he's worried about becoming type-cast and losing out on roles that he might otherwise get. I would be worried at this tender stage in his career. It's like, you don't want only to be offered parts involving gay characters. I do believe when you are in the public eye, however, you do lose much of your privacy, which is why being a celebrity is difficult for many people.

Great way to write a non-story with a sensational headline. I suppose that's why it only gets three paragraphs and a quote from USA Today. What is the big deal supposed to be again? I didn't know his sexuality should be anything other than his.

When did it become such a big deal to be gay. Yah were gay so what cant we find something else to talk about and so what if every one else dosnt like them BIG effing DEAL. LEts move on

Matt Boomer of White Collar used to be openly gay, too- until he landed a primetime series- his agents are saying they 'don't discuss their client's personal lives' when asked if he's gay- yet, they endlessly talk about their straight client's personal lives- who they're dating, breaking up with, pregnant by, etc...'we don't talk...' is code for- 'yes- screaming queen, but it would riun his carrer-i.e. our percentage of his earning potential, if we confirmed his sexuality'

Chris is right...he's an actor. And it's nobody's business that isn't tight with him. Funny how people so NEED to label things to make their lives tidy. Or is that tedious? I always get those confused...

How can you say that you are either straight or gay - 50/50. You need to look at the Kinsey reports to realise that it isn't so black and white.

Not much of a mystery, now is there? Either your straight or gay. Gotta 50% chance of figuring out this "mystery". I'd put my money on the latter. Unless he's into animals...or dead people.

I don't feel at all like he's been advised by Fox or that he's backtracking his statement. He is simply choosing the audience that he wants to share personal things with. He talked to The Advocate about it because their queer readers will understand and be able to relate. He chose not to talk to USA Today about it because their readers may not get it the way a queer publication would. Or he's just sick of having to tell every interviewer about his personal life when he really came to talk about his character on a show. I am 19 years old, so I can relate to him about having to be 'the teacher' to everyone. He never retracted his previous statement about being gay, he simply said he didn't want to talk about it.
