Law & Order: SVU‘s B.D. Wong is a big gay in real life. But now his character — shrink Special Agent George Huang — will come out, too, in tomorrow’s episode all about sexuality: “[I]t deals with pedophiles who claim their interest in children is an orientation like heterosexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality.”

I don’t think it was explicitly stated, but it has been strongly hinted at. I’m pretty sure it’s even in his character’s wiki.
Alexander
Fantastic! I always liked the character, and (obliviously) never suspected. Oh, and I’m the only one that thought he was kinda hot in a sexy-professor kinda way?

I always thought it was accepted canon that his character was gay way before the last episode…oh well. Good for him on making it official.

Yeah, he’s out and it was no big whoop, treated as an aside, and something that was no fresh news to the other characters. Suspiciously, it feels like a piece of late exposition the show may or may not make something of later.
If there’s a show at all later. Victim’s Unit, and even more so, the mothership Law & Order, are the most obvious casualties so far of NBC’s suicidal idea of five nights a week of Leno at 10, after 17 goddamn years of Leno at 11:30. Both shows are hemorrhaging numbers and not even showing up in the top 25 anymore. Neither was ever meant to be anything but a 10 o’clock show.
