Kind of obvious from your title who it had to be. Obvious it is the tall skinny nerd guy. my second guess was any of the females on the show. You pretty much had my last guess as your first.

The title saying "actor" instead of "actress" kind of threw out all the females, right?

The first time I saw it I thought "WTF?! Why is this so popular??" I've seen it a few other times, and I get sporadic lulz. If i watched TV, I'd probably watch it when it came on, but I wouldn't make a special effort to catch it.

He has never said it before this date, ergo it was a secret.

That is not what a secret is. There are a lot of pieces of information people have not stated out loud, that does not make them a secret. That just makes them undisclosed facts.

Was he ever asked about his sexuality before this and refused to answer? Then it would be a secret.

Nobody is surprised cuz well, we all got mad gaydar.

Even broken gaydar would have seen this coming.

Nah, It just came off like you were annoyed that he said he was gay or that people were interested in the fact.

It annoys me when people can't answer a simple question, or when they have to resort to personal attacks to hide the fact that they can't answer a simple question.

Why? How does it benefit anyone to know this?

I think it's good to have positive role models in the gay community such as a successful actor like Parsons. Also, when you have famous gay people like Parsons who don't really fit the picture many ignorant people (effeminate, promiscuous, etc) have of gays, I think it can help some realize that gay people can and often are just like many of their heterosexual partners outside of the bedroom.


Do you think Parsons should not have come out and if so why?

If he's happy about doing it, I don't care. He's under no obligation to hold himself out to be "a positive role model in the gay community", and I hope he didn't feel that way.

I don't think we should be celebrating people who give up their privacy, or have it plastered all over tabloids - especially the ones masquerading as journalists. Now that he's discussed it publicly, people will feel even more entitled than they already do, to speculate about who he's with and why.

I don't think anyone is happy when someone comes out of the closet because they are giving up their privacy, I personally am happy for whomever is coming out of the closet because I know that can be a huge burden to bear, hiding who you are to your family, friends, and otherwise. A burden that can negatively affect ones life in many ways.


I know I don't try to hide my heterosexuality, and I sure don't consider other people knowing that I am heterosexual any sort of invasion of privacy


People in this country always speculate about what celebrity is dating who anyways, I don't think his homosexuality has anything to do with that.
