Neither has Eric McCormack – the actor who played Will.

Neither did any of the male stars of Friends.

These sitcom stars really take the biscuit. For 99.9% of them getting a leading role on a hit TV show is the pinnacle of their career. But they seem to think that it’s only a springboard to greater things. For every Jennifer Aniston or George Clooney there are 100 actors who never make it.

Bears sh1t in woods

Company, maybe? Hollywood’s full of gay men pretending to be anything but so they don’t scare the good old general public in the US. Many people in the US seem to lack any gaydar whatsoever, so when we say that it was so obvious that Sean was gay, there are probably loads of people in America sitting open-mouthed with surprise at this confirmation.

He’s an actor, not a mover and shaker; he doesn’t seem ot have preached homophobia, but maybe airbrushed the truth a bit. But he’s only an actor for mother’s sake, and not even an “A” star, so who really cares?

But he DID!!!!!!!

He confirmed he was gay in interviews promoting Billy Hollywood’s Screen Kiss – a low budget gay movie he made before Will And Grace.

The reason The Advocate gave him the grief they did was because he returned to the closet during Will and Grace.

And quite right too.

What was his excuse for scurrying back to the closet. That old chestnut ‘I don’t want to be typecast’ obviously didn’t apply in his case as he was so screamingly gay that even Helen Keller would have noticed it.

In more shocking news -daffodils are yellow !

I am devastated!

I do agree with him on a couple of points, it is not compulsory to be a banner waving, rainbow searching etc. I was outed and whilst everone has been ‘nice’ I have reached my glass ceiling. I know so! I have discovered gardening and leave promotion to those who worry about it!

It’s not necessary no, but everyone who sells their wedding pics to OK! magazine seems to need to do so.

“its no-one elses business and its his/her choice to make a public announcement. No one should ever summise or try to guess someone elses sexuality.”

I know – poor Beyonce and Jay Z being outed as heterosexuals against their will. The poor dears were outed as a heterosexual couple despite their attempts to keep it private.

In theory someone’s sexuality is private. In reality if you are a public figure your sexuality becomes of interest to celebrity magazines and internet blogs.

If it is acceptable to gossip about straight celebrity’s private lives, then there should be no double standards applied to gay celebrity’s private lives.

And in the case of Sean Hayes, the fact that he was out of the closet before Will and Grace but chose to return to the closet when the show was on made him fair game for the Advocate and other magazines to criticise.

Is it necessary for everyone to declare their sexual orientation???
quite honestly its no-one elses business and its his/her choice to make a public announcement. No one should ever summise or try to guess someone elses sexuality.

Before Will and Grace he was in a movie called Billy Hollywood’s Screen Kiss in which he played a gay guy. In interviews to promote that movie he confirmed his homosexuality.

When he got the role of Will and Grace he went back into the closet.

Who did he think he was kidding?
