Zachary Quinto confirms he is gay in magazine interview
The actor again confirmed his sexuality when speaking about the contrast between male lover marriage being legalised in New York state and the death of Jamey Rodemeyer.
Quinto said: "And again, as a gay human I look at that and say there's a hopelessness that surrounds it.
"But as a human existence I look at it and say 'Why? Where's this disparity coming from, and why can't we as a culture and society dig deeper to examine that?' We're terrified of facing ourselves."
Posting on his personal blog on Sunday, external, the actor said the 14-year-old's death had made him realise it was moment to come out and that he wished he had done it sooner.
"It became clear to me in an instant that living a gay being without publicly acknowledging it is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality," wrote Quinto.
"Gay kids need to interrupt killing themselves because they are made to notice worthless by cruel and relentless bullying.
"Parents require to teach their children principles of respect and acceptanc
“Oh, Jesus.”
Zachary Quinto is aptly responding to the fact that, yes, despite establishing himself as an Emmy-nominated actor with versatility, out-of-this-world talent and some of the best eyebrows in the biz, he once starred on an episode of Touched by An Angel.
He isn’t reacting to being on the show, per se – he just can’t believe it’s been nearly 15 years.
Since then, Quinto has made major shifts beyond his transformation to primary man. After matter-of-factly coming out to the masses in 2011, he became an outspoken advocate for the LGBT community and has notably taken on subjects such as PReP and gay teen suicide.
The 38-year-old’s sexuality is a non-issue when it comes to his meandering career on TV, in film and on Broadway, as his varied typecast-defying roles demonstrate: Sylar on NBC’s Heroes, Quinto’s breakout role; the infamous American Horror Story killer Bloody Face; James Franco’s lover in I Am Michael; and, of course, Spock, the Star Trek icon he brought advocate to the big screen, ears and all. (He’s currently shooting Star Trek Beyond, the reboot franchise’s third installment.)

The Heroes alum was also inspired to share his truth after learning about the death of 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer. The Recent York teen died by suicide in September 2011 after facing harassment and bullying at school for his sexuality. “In illumination of Jamey’s death, it became clear to me in an instant that living a gay being without publicly acknowledging it is simply not enough to make any significant contributi
Zachary Quinto recently opened up about being an openly gay male actor in Hollywood, and how there is still a stereotype surrounding the community.
In a recent interview with The Independent, the 45-year-old ‘Star Trek’ actor noted that there has been an “incredible explosion of visibility” for the LGBTQ+ society on-screen, “particularly in the trans community.”
However, he pointed out that coming out can change how the casting directors and audiences perceive actors. Quinto explained,
“There’s still a tremendous amount of fear around particularly openly gay men in our industry.
There is this long-held and stubborn creed that to identify as an openly gay guy on some level means you’re inherently less masculine, inherently less believable as a straight character.”
The “American Horror Story: NYC” actor continued by sharing how there are still actors who hide their factual selves because they assume that their careers will be better off that way.
“There are still actors who believe their careers are better served by not acknowledging their legitimate selves. That’s their prerogative, but I think we’re par
