Is a casual confirmation of homosexuality the newest way for modern celebrities to come out of the closet? Gone are the days when folks put on a huge production and parade to announce that they're gay in People Magazine!
Following Jim Parson's official coming out by way of a quick mention in a New York Times profile last week, Book of Mormon star (and star of the hotly anticipated upcoming sitcom The New Normal) Andrew Rannells has laid rumors to rest by official and publicly announcing he is gay for what is believed to be the first time.
Speaking with Vulture about his upcoming role in HBO's Girls, Andrew says:
I am gay in real life, so I definitely get it. But it’s not my story — I wasn’t closeted for any amount of time. I never had a girlfriend who I had that experience with. It’s less that Elijah knew he was gay and continued to date Hannah anyway and more that he wasn’t ready to admit to himself that he was gay. I think that’s probably the more common thing, particularly with young homosexuals. Coming out can be super super complicated, especially when it comes to families and friends —and if you already have a girlfriend, what does that mean for her? I hope that changes over time, but coming is very personal and everybody obviously has to do it in their own time. So, no, I don’t think he did anything bad.
Congrats, Andrew! Your muffin welcome basket (including our Skype screename and cell number!) should arrive shortly.
