A few years after his gay revelation he sat down with GAYSTARNEWS on 18 January 2012 as he said,
'Somebody a long time ago said the whole point of coming out is once everybody is out, then straight America has no choice but to see that their brothers and uncles and cousins and friends are all represented in the gay community. That's the moment when people are going to say, 'I don't have it in my heart to hate people that I'm already close to.''
He is very proud that he was able to set a precedent by coming out as a gay, which has been since followed by many other actors including Neil Patrick Harris, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Ricky Martin.
