Luke McFarlane from Brothers & Sisters has officially come out after much speculation. He chose an interview with Canadas Globe & Mail to end the speculation.
“Though no secret to his family and close friends, Macfarlane has, until now, been guarded about his personal life as a gay man. Over lunch in Los Angeles, where he lives, he initially insists that he has no concerns about his public revelation - but a few seconds later he is shifting nervously in his chair, and concedes that he is ‘terrified.’ … ‘I don’t know what will happen professionally … that is the fear, but I guess I can’t really be concerned about what will happen, because it’s my truth.”
I’m genuinely pleased that more and more actors are coming out and I hope that it shows a growing acceptance and understanding by the wider community. Now we just need to wait and see if these actors are given straight roles or typecast as the gay friend.
Shocker! Not.
I have to agree with Steven. Luke McFarlane is cute, sweet, adorable, and VERY CONVINCING (to say the least) as the the gay boyfriend on Brothers & Sisters. Kudos to him for coming out!
Isn’t he going out with that guy from Prison Break?
If we all would come out of the closet people would be amazed and the community would rally around us.
How fantastic!
