* is scotty from brothers and sisters really gay *
I do not THINK Matthew Rhys (Kev) is gay real life and Ron Rifk (Sl) is married to a woman named Iva. Matthew rhys is gay I'm pretty sure of .
Le {SCOTTY}is the only gay one!!
Matthew {KEVIN} is ff NOT gay!!! Le is such a hottie, but do make sense if he is gay. S tertg that hollywood was first created by a group of gay men who put on plays.

All actors i thk have a gay si to them as they woulnt be able to play the rol they do. If you e out as gay you risk losg work. The guys who played Kev and Sl are not gay real.
But the guy who played Stty is gay real life. Y I thk that he is gay. I mean I have nothg agast gay people I have some gay iends and he jt played the role so good.
And if he's not gay than he is one heck of a good actor and way to go Matthew. Gay fans of Brothers & Sisters are probably breathg a sigh of relief after the last two episos of the ABC drama.
