It’s no secret that there are quite a few well-known actors out there who are gay, but who completely live in the closet, afraid that coming out will affect their career. That’s despite the fact the likes of Neil Patrick Harris, Matt Bomer and Zachary Quinto have shown it’s possible to maintain your success after telling the world your sexuality.
Quinto recently told Attitude that he’s been approached by closeted actors who are considering their options, saying, “I just share my experience and say ‘This is how it went down for me, this is how I feel.’
“I tell them, ‘Trust that even if it means you’re not as famous, or even if it means it’s not exactly what you thought it would be, it’s still more valuable when you’re assessing your life at the end of that’”
The actor was speaking to Attitude to mark World AIDS Day, telling them, “It’s still utterly essential…Not just in marking the advancement, progress and fight against the diseases, but also cultivating knowledge and awareness of it for people all over the world.”
