I’m a straight woman and I think they should give us a little more credit. I also agree the People interview was a bit strange, as if they tried a little too hard to make him appear straight. You are right about Ellen, NPH and other success stories, but we will probably never know how many gay folks lost (leading) roles because it was assumed too risky to sign them. But you can’t change people’s minds and a whole industry in a flash. I wish it would be as common to have gay people talk about their relationships in the same way straight ones do and interviewers asking the same questions. Bomer and/or his handlers have chosen to react to this story in the fashion that they completely agree on the double standard concerning the handling of gay vs straight celebrities.
Mr.Bomer is a terrific actor, “White Collar’ is a great show and I wish him continued success. The fact that Ryan Reynolds is married has never prevented his handlers from marketing him as a male sex symbol. She certainly has never attempted to portray herself as the girl next door or America’s Sweetheart.

Bomer had issued a succinct, NPH like statement and then subsequently have been designated “Sexiest Rising Star?”Īngela Jolie, reknowned actress, beauty, major movie star and philanthropist has never denigrated or hidden her lesbian relationships. Wouldn’t it have been revolutionary if Mr. Bomer’s career and something to be hidden at all costs. Bomer/and/or his reps gave rise to the erroneous impression that being gay is somehow shameful, damaging to Mr. By failing to do so, the editors at “People”/and/or Mr. Most, if not all, of the other profiles indicated the status of the men featured: single, engaged, married, in a relationship. All it had to do was acknowledge the fact that he’s in a relationship. Bomer’s first kiss with a girl, nor did it have to reveal the fact that he’s ostensibly a gay man raising kids with his partner. The “People” profile was a misleading puff piece designed to mislead “People’s” readership (especially the female readers) into assuming that Mr. Ironically, the story never made it into the mainstream media or tabloid press although it has filtered into the fashion blogs – COACD and Fashinfags. I doubt that the general public, with the exception of the LGBT community, is even aware that Mr. Bomer was gay prior to the rise of this story.
I dispute the assertion that the general public knew Mr. Bomer was somehow hiding the fact that he’s allegedly gay. Bomer had to do was issue a succinct statement like NPH’s and move on with his life. Bomer’s reps, their request for an iinterview was declined and their inquiries were met with a “No comment.” All Mr. Bomer had been involved with the other guy in said photos. Bomer, Greg in Hollywood and boyculture published the infamous kissing pics, Queerty followed up on the story and confirmed that Mr. The LGBT community doesn’t need Matt Bomer and Anderson Cooper as poster boys if they are not interested in pursuing such a role, since we already have Daniel Choi, Matthew Mitcham (lucrative endorsements be damned), Rachel Maddow, NPH, Ellen and Portia, Luke MacFarlane, Chad Allan, Robert Gant, Cheyenne Jackson, et al. “I would love to do a comic book role.” Entertainment Celebs / Celebrities Hollywood Matt Bomer matthew bomer simon halls USA Network white collar “If that opportunity ever presented itself again, it would definitely be something I would be interested in,” Matt said, adding he would trade in his suit for spandex. These puff pieces are carefully scripted press-friendly blurbs to help raise a star’s profile - and actors’ teams actively lobby to get their clients featured like this.Ĭuriously, before People‘s issue went to press, named Bomer their “rising star.” And they opted for much gayer copy: We were on the swim team together.”īut don’t think for a second that People doesn’t know about Bomer’s sexuality. And instead of focusing on Bomer’s, say, first kiss with a guy - or any kiss with a guy - they get his first kiss with a girl story: “My first kiss was in the fourth grade with a girl named Darcy on the end of a diving board. Funny, then, that in celebrating Bomer’s sexiness, People opted not to mention that Matt is “in a relationship,” as they did with other actors. This superlative means Matt is hot, but not a big enough celebrity that anyone knows him for his real name, and not the con-man character Neal Caffrey. Now that the whole gay world knows Matt Bomer, star of USA’s White Collar, is a happily partnered-with-kids ‘mo, it’s lovely to see People magazine name him 2009’s “Sexist Rising Star” in the same issue Adam Lambert hits the sexy list.
