I get emotional talking about it because it’s an example of how far we’ve come, and it’s an example of how truly fortunate I am, and we are, to be living in this moment of our evolution.
Zachary Quinto speaking to Queerty about his career as an out gay actor, and the significance of playing the gay lead character on NBC’s new medical drama ‘Brilliant Minds.’
And it’s all the more reason that we have to defend our rights and fight for our rights to continue to live full lives, and not lives that are defined in the way that, you know, a certain faction of the political landscape in this country would have us believe we are defined—the one thing that, for whatever reason, engenders them with a fear that they cannot comprehend.
Stay tuned for our full interview with Quinto, coming Monday, Sep. 23 @ 10am PT.

Dude.. if you are still getting emotional, then you have some internal feelings that you need to deal with regarding ‘how far we (i.e. you) have come. There are millions of us who have had no problems with ourselves or others accepting our sexuality. So PLEASE dear Zachary, do not lump all of us into the same bag of victims. Many of us fought, including myself, and bare the scars of our battle. I’m happy. If you are not happy , you have only yourself to blame.

That seems a little harsh. It is okay for men to cry. When did he say he wasn’t happy?

Reading his comments, I would say he’s feeling very happy about where things stand versus where they once stood. Happy is also an emotion. And I’m glad things are so awesome for you but there are those who actually are still struggling and fighting, and their fight is no less important than yours was.
