THE VOICE OF CHICAGO'S GAY, LESBIAN, BI, TRANS AND QUEER COMMUNITY SINCE 1985

I did Tony Khner's The Intelligent Homosexual's Gui to Capalism and Socialism for almost five hours our first preview, so that is long! Actor known as Sean Garry on the h seri Rcue Me, as well as a gay love tert to David the HBO origal Six Feet Unr.

The Seventi saw many women's rights, gay rights, and environmental movements. Steven Pasquale has never ma any public statement about this, so all mors about if Steven Pasquale is gay rema pletely unfound and unproven.

IS STEVEN PASQUALE GAY?

Neverthels, speculatns over whether Steven Pasquale is gay or not are still prent certa rners of the tabloids and on var webs, once aga whout any solid foundatn. The g out of Steven Pasquale would greatly benef lns of homosexuals around the world who are still the closet. Although Steven Pasquale has never admted to beg gay, the media always nsirs the likelihood of one day reportg on the other.

Although Steven Pasquale hasn't said to be gay, beg a famo actor and homosexual is somethg unrstood as normal by the society.

Pasquale's wife, Lra Benanti, tweeted on Tuday that the story wasn't te, sayg "DenisLeary told a story on the daily show and said my hubbie ed ahomophobic slur. In fact steve has refed to e homophobic slurs on rcue me that were wrten as dialogue!

I n hontly say that half the people I know, love and rpect are gay. I'm aaid Denis got his wir a ltle crossed rememberg that isn't the first time Leary has found himself hot water over his e of anti-gay ephets or the dreadful way he and Peter Tolan handled the bisexual male storyle on Rcue Me, but rather than dredgg all that up aga, I'd rather foc on Pasquale's we have two straight actors, each of whom have prumably had a great al of ntact wh gay people over the years.
