Matt Bomer - On Being Out

[elrhiarhodan]

There are a million reasons to love Matt Bomer, but his absolute decency tops them all. In an interview with Marc Malkin for E!Online, he talks about publically acknowledging that he is gay.

"But there were times I chose not to relegate my history to the back page of a magazine, which to me is sort of akin to putting your biography on a bathroom wall."

Not that he dismisses the importance of being an out actor.

"I had somebody from the military approach me a few weeks ago just saying how this helps people, affects people," Bomer said. "It brought me to tears."

I go so far as to suggest that he could be saving young gay people's lives. "I hope so," he said. "They need saving, certainly in this day and age as much as ever—no matter how much we think we've progressed."

"Everybody thinks that equality comes from identifying people, and that's not where equality comes from. Equality comes from treating everybody the same regardless of who they are."

QFT. I wonder when we'll arrive at that point...

The more we learn about him, the more impressive he becomes: not just a pretty face, but smart, thoughtful, modest, funny, compassionate, a loving partner and father - everything you could wish for. I hope his parents are proud of him.

I just read this. A great interview. He is such a classy guy. I loved this qoute from the interview:

"Everybody thinks that equality comes from identifying people, and that's not where equality comes from. Equality comes from treating everybody the same regardless of who they are."

Amen.
