"It’s like a dichotomy. On one hand, people think being openly gay hurts your career. Why else are there so few openly-gay actors? But on the other hand it makes you stand out … The reaction has been so positive, so beautiful, that I’m really glad it’s out in the open." - Former Baywatch stud and open homo Jaason Simmons on coming out to the public. [SX News]

Former Baywatch actor Jaason "Double-A" Simmons (center) came out of the closet this week. Via Same Same:

[Simmons] has ended years of speculation in the hope of raising awareness of African adoption.

Simmons has appeared in Australian New Idea magazine with his boyfriend of eight months, Irish actor John O’Callaghan, and his adopted six year-old Ugandon son saying that they want to get married.

The couple plan to wed in Canada as same-sex unions are not legally recognized in California where they both live.

Well done, Simmons! And we totally support your mission. We warn you, however, Madonna and Angelina are very territorial, so you may want to sleep with one eye open.
