Oh hey, it’s your weekly installment of White Collar‘s Matthew Bomer playing a straight guy who checks out chicks. In this scenario, our resident con-man Neal Caffrey is on the hunt for a painting counterfeiter, which takes him to a college art class where there’s a naked lady. Wink wink, y’all!

I think at this point, if Matt Bomer were to scream “I’m a queen” in the middle of Times Square, Queerty would find something snarky to say about it.
randy
It must be SOOO difficult for Queerty to go to the movies. Seeing X-Men or Spiderman or any of those superheroes who have super powers, all the while we ALL know (wink, wink) that they are just actors doing their jobs and that they don’t REALLY have super powers. We really should expose Hugh Jackman for having simple mortal powers in real life.
Why oh why won’t those actors come out as humans?
Rick Brannon
Bomer is hot.
Straight, gay, bi, tranny – who gives a fuck.
jd
Yeah, it kind of needs to stop. We get it. You should really leave him alone. All this does is give validity to those Hollywood folk who advocate that gay actors not come out if they want a career. When and if you see this actor at a social or industry event with a female, attempting to pass himself off as a heterosexual, then have at it. But, when he’s acting and the role is a straight character, walk away.
Chuck
Continue to cover White Collar and Matt Bomer, because I love them. Just please be nicer to him. He’s hot and he’s a leading man, let’s not shoot one of our own by ruining his career. We already know the backstory, you don’t have to mention it in every article.
Oh, Queerty's hypocrisy
So you bitched and bitched and bitched when that guy from Newsweek suggested that gay guys can’t convincingly play straight characters. Now you’ve begun a series mocking a gay guy who plays a straight character — *about the very fact of the straight role that the gay character plays.* I guess it turns out that you actually agree with Sedtooth, or whatever his name was, and are putting that agreement into action every week.
Good lord.
Jesseboy
Yeah, hey, Queerty, how’s about you stop being so fickle?
Bomer’s an actor. Which means he plays characters. This character happens to be straight. Regardless of his sexual orientation in real life, you shouldn’t attempt a juvenile jab at his playing straight.
You missed Nelsan Ellis making out with a dude on “True Blood” – he’s straight, you know. So him making out with this dude, that’s a “wink wink, y’all!” too, then, right? Where’s that story?
Julianne Moore AND Annette Benning are playing lesbians in “The Kids Are Alright” – “Wink wink, y’all!”
Get over it, Queerty. Delete this pathetic article, please. And get a grip.
myrios123
I get it. He’s gay and playing straight. But given the track record of this website, shouldn’t we be speculating if he really likes vag? Please stop knocking him down. He’s mancake/eyecandy on tv. Leave him alone. It’s a great show and I’m not upset that he’s not advocating for my rights any more than doing a great job being what seems like a good human being.
Ross
Queerty, did you ask him out and he said no and now you’re obsessed with him? Let it go! Seriously. You’re worse than the guy who wrote the Newsweek article. I have no idea if he’s gay or not, and I don’t care. He’s an actor, and a damned good one. If he IS gay, I certainly would understand why he wouldn’t come out when gay media like Queerty are such assholes about it.
concernedcitizen
Damn he can’t even be an actor anymore “wink wink” wtf Queerty?
BBW
Jesus Fucking Christ.
Okay, this is now officially pathetic, and obviously just trolling for hits to this site (I think just mentioning “Matt Bomer” does it lately). Because no one is really that fucking stupid as to correlate Bomer playing the straight Neal Caffrey with meaning anything about him as a gay man.
Apparently the person who wrote this post is just looking to gain some sort of award for outrageous stupidity.
BTW, this kind of ‘article’ is knocking the shit out of any rep this site may have had left.

Memo to queerty – no matter how hard you try to hurt Matt – IT DOES NOT MATTER – his career rocket is unstoppable!!!He’s a model human being, great actor, and of course stunningly beautiful inside and out.For me, the more you post on this dreamboat the better since any PR is great PR and frankly, woman don’t care in his case – they all are as obsessed with him as we gays are!He’s uniquely perfect in every way, but it appears queerty thinks that as well.
Rob
Wow – a great gay actor that America has fallen in love with is convincingly playing a straight suave man and straight female fans know this and still love him! Why does queerty have issues with this? Isn’t this what we are fighting for? Oh yeah, because they are hypocrites and it is not the parton saint of gays – NPH.
Queerty Sucks
This is bullshit – Queerty is officially for losers, losers meaning anyone who still thinks queerty is relevant, has no agenda, and is like us.
Confused
I thought we wanted to be treated as equals, so a gay man could play a straight man? Well we have Matt Bomer doing this to rave reviews and ratings and this is how we thank him? I wouldn’t admit to being a part of this fucking train wreck either and I’ve been out for 25 years. Give it a rest or why not talk about Zac Efron, Queen Latifa, Wil smith, Lee Pace, Zack Quinto, or the biggest bearded actor – Taylor Lautner!
vic
I’m done with this site. What a piece of shit article. It’s clear someone here was spurned by Bomer and so now you’re out to get him.
Cal
gay, straight, bi, in, out – doesn’t matter. this old queen, my partner, and all of our friends think he is perfect, and he is.but all that matters to queerty is web hits for ad revenue – sad how the mighty have fallen.
L.
@BBW: Indeed, and I think mentioning “James Franco” works as well.
L.
@Oh, Queerty’s hypocrisy: Do you mind if I thumb you up frantically?
QUEERTY = NEWSWEEK
QUEERTY HYPOCRACY AT ITS BEST, ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT NEWSWEEK HAS REAL JOURNALISTS AND QUEERTY IS A GROUP OF TMZ WANNA-BA HACKS CHURNING THIS CRAP OUT IN SOME GARAGE SOMEWHERE.
Craig
@jd: That’s the problem with Queerty. Matt has never bearded ever in his life. He lives openly, partnered, kids, wedding ring, gay charity contributer, etc. That is what has blown what little credibilty queerty ever had.
JesseLA
A new queerty low, scraping the bottom for stuff, and that’s saying something.This out, gay guy from the left coast thinks Bomer is great.He will be our first A-List out actor – cannot wait.And no queerty regulars, Neal Patrick is not A list…
aalan brickman
i’m sick of this..matt’s a great guy living openly..what’s your jealous!!!…..
Jones
This queen Boner is pathethic. He needs to come out. And all of you defending him should have your heads examined. So yeah, flag me down. Like I care bitches!
BabyILikeIt
He is hot, but oh no, he has such a toooootal gay face no one can really believe he is straight, sorry!
Trent
@23/24 blah, blah, blah, ‘self loathing’, blah blah, ‘sing it louise’, blah, blah = all the regular old queen queerty chants/rants – so tired.Wake up, his detractors are the tiny minority.If you are sick of hearing how great he is, I would avoid these desperate queerty posts on him.
@25: He is truly gorgeous by definition, but of all gay actors, he is obviously the hardest to detect orientation-wise, especially if you factor in the ‘out’ actors.
Jeffree
Qty is tanking: they can’ t support their own technical infrastructure (how many features have gone missing?), advertisers are bailing, staff are sending out resumes to other sites, and day-to-day maintenance has been brushed to the side..
We’ll miss ye when youre gone.
Reese
Of course he’s scoping out a pretty girl. He’s playing a straight guy. That’s what acting is. Jesus, if he was pretending to be straight in real life, talking about hot ladies or whatever, then maybe MAYBE you’d have a right to make a snarky “Oh ok, Matt.”
Carolyn
@25 babyilikeit – whatever face you want to call it, Matt has the most beautiful in all the world and this dyke thinks he pulls off straight perfectly.
Carolyn
@ 27 Jeffree – you do get that impression with desperate posts like this they just seem to throw out there that actually hurts our cause.
Steven johnson
I don’t understand why he won’t admit if he’s gay …. I’m a straight white man and I don’t want a gay man hitting on me … But if your gay who cares … It would be a little disappointing that he’s not the chick magnet like Neil but he would get the respect he deserves by just admitting it… I would still watch the show ….and I would respect him for coming out and quit putting it off …… Dont try to please everybody …. What good is it to be famous and not be yourself ……. Come on matt ….
Sleepyhead
Matt bomer is not gay! You guys r being fool by his PR management team!
First off don’t u guys find the ‘gay kiss’ photo came out a bit too convinient ? One minute before he has a new tv show coming on, next minutes the photos ‘leaked’, that’s because they need to create topic to promote his show! Whats a better topic than’hey! Look at that really hot guy, i ant believe he’s gay!! The timing is incredibly beneficial, u guys.
Second. He told his cohost at the today show that he has 3 kids just 30mins be4 the show starts ??come on who would do that?? It’s too obvious that it’s an another keep -him -on the -gossip –
colomn interview .
The whole gay thing is just another publicity stun, just like what they do to Luke Evans ,( Luke is gay but the boss want him to be straight, Matt is straight pretending to be gay,both dating a PR, see the connection) I’m sayin thins cuz I’m pretty sure when I google him while he was on traveler, I read an artical about him being married to a woman and has kids, I remember this so well cuz I remembers my dissapointment at that point.
