2016 taught us that it’s not necessarily a good thing when a celebrity you admire is trending on Twitter, which led many to hold their breath this morning while investigating why Kevin Spacey’s name had shot to the top of the social platform.
Could Spacey, who has long dodged addressing his sexuality in the public sphere, finally be ready to bust open the closet door?
Or worse, could the House of Cards star have met an untimely end?!
Whoa whoa whoa, calm down — he’s just hosting the Tony Awards. That was a close one.
How about we take this to the next level?

This guy has spent more time attacking the lgbt community and people who ask questions than he ever has attacking bigots. One of the closets biggest supporters. (So I’m sure Mo Bro and his other screenames love him)
