Sean Hayes, who for YEARS played flaming non-repentant homo Jack, On NBC's Will & Grace, has come out of the closet. This would be somewhat on the heels of earth shattering news that the blonde homely mom from Family Ties is a full blown lezzie who prefers to dip her McNuggets in 'Gyna sauce. And course before then we learned Alison Goldfrapp is lesbian..and 40 at that! and Kelly McGillis... yada...yadda..yadda. What is wrong with this picture? I thought post career coming out was out of season until this recent crop mid-life come outs, that aren't surprising at all. And more importantly why i am writing about this.
The whole debate on whether a celebrity should or should not come out is tired- as tired as waiting until you are in mid 40's and you have the Adam Lamberts and Johnny Weirs of a different generation who start their careers, straight out the gate setting off fire alarms with faggotry so electric Tesla is suing from his grave for copyright infringement. Yeah. It does bother me...especially when you have Queen Latifah and Jodi Foster waiting in the wings because being in the closet somewhat makes them look smart. Let's use Weir and Lambert as test specimen for the "early career non-come out". These men are unabashedly gay.. yet there is a residue of contention that surrounds them.... Where as People will probably run a "Yes I am gay" for Sean Hayes, while we are all like duh. For me that reinforces the closet.
Late night.. time for bed and THATS my first entry.

Reason 23 of why I can't fucking stand Anderson Cooper.
ReplyDeleteI love Johnny Weir ! Its all about integrity, especially as an artist, how can one produce when one is lying to oneself or the world ?
ReplyDeleteI agree the younger generation is leading the way and anyone still in a closet for the sake of their career ... well i hope they stay there and get all moldy :)
To me its an issue of care for our community over the pursuit of the dollar or the career. People need to come out and challenge the status quo -- if only for the protection of our younger generation.
