While attending Petra Nemcova’s 2008 Happy Hearts Gala, where he was auctioning off a date with himself, Kevin Spacey spoke out on Prop 8, telling a reporter "there’s no doubt that election night was a bittersweet night. But in some ways, these kinds of setbacks allow for a bigger fight, more challenges, and eventually we’re going to get it right."

Spacey, a member of the Anderson-Cooper-Club-for-Men-Who Won't-Comment-on-Their-Sexuality-Even-After-It's Blindingly-Obvious-to-Everyone did not use the occasion, as Wanda Sykes did on Saturday, to talk about his own personal sexuality, which has, as of late, included publicly spanking young men while on vacation. Though when asked about Elton John's assertion that civil unions ought to do, Spacey replied:

"Well, I haven’t heard what Elton has said about it, and I don’t really know the particular laws in London with respect to whether they just have civil unions or…Look, I think at the end of the day, if people are given rights, and the same basic rights that any individual is given, then we are in fact honoring the Constitution of the United States. Anything less than that is unfair."

Kevin Spacey better keep a closer eye out for cameras.

The suspiciously single actor recently stepped out in Croatia and had his peepers peeled on other things, like another man's ass, which, in fact, Spacey himself exposed. We wonder what he was looking for…

Via those British gossips over at Pop Bitch:

Remember in 2004 when Kevin Spacey got "brutally mugged" while walking his dog at 430am? And then how Spacey revealed he hadn't been mugged but "fell for a con", where a kid stole his mobile phone and Spacey, running after him tripped over his dog?

What really happened was this. Spacey had taken a shine to a waiter where he was dining. He handed him a 20 pound note tip with his phone number on, and the star-struck waiter agreed to meet him later.

The two men then got trashed together. While walking back to Spacey's apartment near the Old Vic to continue their drinking session, they passed through a nearby park. Spacey made a suggestion to the waiter about what they could do next. Not liking this suggestion, the straight but rather worse for wear waiter, punched the star in the face.

Afterwards, Spacey's lawyers suggested rather strongly to him that he might want to keep the story to himself. The waiter wasn't interested in selling his story or taking any hush money and has kept a dignified silence ever since.

Almost.

That sounds pretty believable to us. What say you, readers?

Nothing like a little gay subtext to get the day going…

Today's particular example comes via Page Six's always exciting "sightings" section: "Kevin Spacey cruising Capri with a handsome young man over the weekend."

We wonder verb they'd use if Spacey and his PYT had been eating. Maybe "Kevin Spacey sucking down some beef with a handsome young man…?"

• Eva Longoria and Tony Parker are now officially man and housewife (forgive us). They'll do it again tomorrow. Obviously they're desperate for attention (Oh, it hurts!).

• If Enrique Iglesias were gay, he'd go for George Clooney. And, apparently, have no imagination. (Sorry, Ricky Martin.)

• Shirley Phelps-Roper has been charged with child abuse after letting her 10-year old stomp a flag while protesting a soldier's funeral. If convicted, she could receive 3-months in jail. God willing…

There are a whole slew of "private" actors who people just assume might be more interested in people of the same sex than they let on. Sean Hayes, who plays gay on TV and has been plagued by gay rumors, hasn't exactly been willing to talk about his sexuality. Kevin Spacey even more so.

So can anyone blame a British government supported group who teach gay history for including Spacey on a list of famous queers? His name has since been removed and this whole mess has been deemed a "mistake."

Sure we could go down the list of suspicious actions by Spacey but we're better than that.

But we're still keeping him on our own list of "private" leading men who drive mini coopers.

OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT REPORT: KEVIN SPACEY IS GAY [The Mirror]
Lesson Plans Are Gay [Jossip]

In tribute to all the celebrities still in the closet, Queerty has declared November 2, 2005 National Stay In The Closet Day. For everybody out there who hasn’t noticed, the forces of closetedness have been gathering steam in the United States. You can barely blink your eyes without seeing a lesbian Methodist minister getting defrocked in full public view.

Why not encourage the trend? Every time a closeted celebrity redoubles her determination to stay in, untold hundreds of millions of closed minds get their hermetic seals sealed tighter. Queerty doesn’t mind that so awfully, mainly because whether a homosexual is in the closet or not, he or she is equally homosexual. And though a person can not change their sexuality any more than they can change their IQ, we don’t see anybody spearheading an Ex-Smart movement.

So stay in, stay in, wherever you are! Barry Diller, for his part, has yet to appear on the Madison Avenue sidewalk wearing a Diane von Furstenberg dress, but rumors circulate that Madame von F. is whipping up a little something for Kevin Spacey. By staying in the closet, gay celebrities exacerbate the stigma against us and add to what our red state enemies wish were our total invisibility. We extend to them the most lavender of Sieg Heils!
