The gay thg wh Reece and Mallm was hilar and really well acted out. This tegory is for all gay characters who appear the seri. Apparently Erik said an terview that he is gay.

I dont thk this article is tstful, but even if he is gay, fe for him. Would be brave of him if he would adm to be gay, pecially for an actor and someone his age, but i dont thk he is.

ERIK PER SULLIVAN GAY?

Y, I knew that Todd Holland was openly gay, but I thk 's strange that a muny as polilly liberal ( general) as Hollywood, 's still nsired box office poison to take your same-sex lover to a red rpet event and be seen and photographed that way.

Apparently, prsure om the dtry to 'play straight' is still so strong that even someone like Todd feels he has to advise young gay actors agast g out.

It only feeds the terrible mour mongerg you see on almost every sgle IMDB board about a young actor: I heard he's gay, he's a relatnship wh this guy X, he was seen a gay bar etcetera. If they want to know why is poison to be known as gay, maybe is bee of the polil affiliatns of groups like this that obvly has no problem throwg s own "nstuents" unr the b. It is te that gay magaz like "The Advote" forced closeted gays to 'out' themselv.
