If Spacey has resisted over ten years of relentless harassment from the tabs and – which is even more questionable – from the gay community, he must have a pretty good reason. We could give him at least the benefit of the doubt and just thank him for grudgelessly supporting the cause of marriage equality. @effyou:

For those of us who are lawyers, agents etc., do you really think we control whether an actor decides to come out? They are all big boys and girls and can certainly make those decisions on their own. I've been in the biz for 26 years and have never had a client ask me whether they should come out nor I have I ever told one not to. Charles Merrill is an idiot.

Where do you come up with this crap? I the editor position needs to be reconsidered for someone a little more in touch with reality.

His words sound heartfelt and extemporaneous. He makes clear, cogent points that I whole-heartedly support. Good enough for me.

Spacey just joined Schwartzie's, Brad Pitt's and a big bunch of gay-friendly celebrities' fight for a rightful cause, that's all. You just should thank him. In any case, since when does supporting gay rights imply you are coming out as gay yourself? As for that alleged "spanking incident", everybody knows by now that those pics are faked.

Not to do so, at this point in history is simply cowardly. He's a big star and has been around a long time. He'll continue to have his successes as an out gay man and actor. No one cares if he's gay. Same for other rumored gay celebs. If you are gay please be brave and come out. If Kevin Spacey is indeed gay he really should come out. Not to do so, at this point in history is simply cowardly.
