It's kind of a shame that it's even an issue. Not being gay, I can't fully appreciate how complicated that is. In the article, the interviewer asked me, and I said that if I were, I would just say it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't keep it secret that I live with my partner Gio. I'm very proud of my gayness. But there is lots I wouldn't want the press to write about me... it is a matter of regret that being gay is the most interesting thing about me.
I don't know if I would have the same take on world matters and social issues if I were not gay.
It seems to me the most important issue in the LGBT community is the right to be queer-the right to be free of the heterosexual assumption.
I am gay, and I'm very comfortable with it.
I never said I was gay, because I don't think anyone is.
The way I approach the character isn't about being gay or straight. It's just about who you love. Gender has very little to do with it.
Gay rights is just one of the social issues I'm interested in. I think that people might be less tense about it if we would all accept the fact that not everyone is wired the same way.
I say, 'I'm bi, my love knows no gender,' and the straight community says, 'Oh right, that's just a cover-up - you're gay!' And the gay community says, 'Yeah right, that's just a cover-up - you're gay.' They both want to push me gay.
If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not.
Gayness is a non-issue.
