He is too hot to be gay. I do not THINK Matthew Rhys (Kev) is gay real life and Ron Rifk (Sl) is married to a woman named Iva.

THE JONAS BROTHERS OPEN UP ABOUT GAY MOURS FOR OUT MAGAZE

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.
