"Traditionally, the media has been as interested in closeting celebrities as the celebrities themselves have been… I've read things in gossip columns that would never go there in the past and realized, 'Wow, they're going there now.' They don't consider gay a dirty thing anymore. And it's very cool." – Michael Musto on the media's rising queer comfort level. [LA Times]
