LGBTQ+ in Hollywood

[Carolinian]

Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe came out.

I feel like Kevin Spacey has been mentioned lately in a lot of "gays in Hollywood" type lists. Most recently something was mentioned on a clip from "Gay USA" on The Soup. But that wasn't the first time I've heard it lately.

Has he actually come out or has the open secret just become accepted quietly?

[Wenton]

He's never "come out" to the degree that a lot of people would like, but it's not a secret.

Gay USA is featured on The Soup?? That's amazing.

[eclair]

Well,The Soup pretends that the show is Japanese and pronounced Gayusa, but yeah. And so Gay USA mentions The Soup a lot. The Soup also repeated some outing mention of Edie Falco while mocking outing her, so...

I call it Gayusa, too! Funny, I think I have noticed Andy and Ann mention The Soup, but not overly much. But I don't watch it every week. This totally renews my interest in both shows.

Luke Evans' revolving-door closet has come up in this thread before, but with Dracula Untold doing so well at the box office he's kinda-sorta out again.  Time magazine takes a glowingly positive stance on it, Queerty's a little more jaundiced.

From the Queerty comments:

I almost forgot that Ian McKellen outed him AGAIN earlier this year (well, the actual interview is much older):

“Just look only how many openly gay actors in the “Hobbit” there were: two of the dwarves, to Luke Evans, Stephen Fry, Lee Pace. In ‘The Lord of the Rings’ I was the only one next to my make-up artist and one from the wardrobe team. That’s progress, right?”

Wait, Lee Pace is gay? It must've come up before and I just forgot about it, right?

I'm also thinking Lee Pace is gay? And out? And also, Lee Pace was in The Hobbit?

Yup, Lee plays Thranduil, aka Legolas's dad.
