Actor Luke
MacFarlane came out in an interview with The
[Toronto] Globe and Mail today. The native of
Canada, though "terrified" about the future of his

truth."
Actor Luke
MacFarlane came out in an interview with The
[Toronto] Globe and Mail today. The native of
Canada, though "terrified" about the future of his
career, said to the paper, "I don't know what will
happen professionally, but I guess I can't really be
concerned about what will happen, because it's my
truth."
MacFarlane is
best known for his role as Scotty Wandell, the love
interest of Kevin Walker (played by Matthew Rhys) on the ABC
drama Brothers & Sisters (Note: A future plot
spoiler is below). The actor went on to say,
"There is this desire in L.A. to wonder who you are,
and what's been blaring for me for the last three
years is how can I be most authentic to myself -- so this
is the first time I am speaking about it in this way."
He told the
paper: "From a standing-outside perspective, and also as
someone who is gay, I think that it's a very exciting time.
How exciting that we're saying 'This can be part of
the cultural fabric, now,' because it is two series
regulars, two people that you invite into your home and
you see every week. It's telling of the beginning of more
waves, and I'm very proud of that." He does, however,
note that a certain irony still exists: While a show
featuring a same-sex marriage may be an important step
toward building tolerance, it's still an attention-grabber
in today's television world.
The interview
took place during the shooting of the season finale of
Brothers & Sisters, in which (here's the
spoiler alert) Scotty and Kevin get married. (The
