Zachary Quinto


Zachary Quinto
It's one of those cases in which suspected it all: The American actor Zachary Quinto (known from "Heroes" and as a young Spock in the latest "Star Trek" movie) has been outed as gay. In a feature of the "New York Magazine," the 34-year-old spoke for the first time openly about his homosexuality.

In two sentences of conversation of living in Los Angeles Star spoke specifically ofthemselves as gay. The work on the AIDS play "Angels in America" for which he stoodeight months as a lover of a dying man on the stage in New York, have left traces, showed him how happy was it to have been born only later and have the "decimation of an entiregeneration of talented and otherwise healthy men," not to have experienced. "At the same time as a gay man I have the feeling that there is still much to do, many things need to beaddressed," Quinto said the magazine.

The phrase "as a gay man," he drops later, when it comes to political changes, suchOccupy the actions and he responds to the state of the LGBT movement. "There is thelegalization of marriage for gays and lesbians in New York and three months later, thesuicide of Jamey Rodemeyer, yet another teenager who was bullied to suicide. And, you know, again as a gay man, I look at the and to think of all the hopelessness, the shows arethere. "The company had to focus more closely on the problem, looking for a way out,instead of wasting time and energy with hatred and bigotry.


Not responding to earlier speculation

The actor had publicly in the past on issues such as marriage or the opening in the militarygay ban has consistently argued for gay and lesbian rights. He also recorded a video for "It Gets Better" campaign, in which he gay youth who are bullied by peers, ascribes courage.But to his sexual orientation he had not spoken in interviews so far. The "New York Times,"he said last October: "[The suicides among young people] are currently such a hot topicthat I would much rather talk about than to tell who I'm sleeping," said Quinto.

With gay roles Quinto never had this problem: He has played at the beginning of his career, told a gay man in the short-lived series "So NoTORIous," loosely on the life ofactress Tori Spelling. Currently, he is seen in America in a supporting role to the new Fox series "American Horror Story."...
