Of closets and people

As time goes on and many other people come out of the closet (such as Zachary Quinto), then I get more and more comfortable with famous people not coming out of the closet or not revealing any of their private lives (mostly because of family reasons), and not just because they have a job made more dangerous if they were out.

It is because there are other people now who are coming out of the closet, more and more so. One day, Page Six is just going to have its own section every day: "People who came out today," hopefully well before obituaries at the back.

The only caveat being that some people might decide to stay in the closet for exactly this reason :\

Some actors might choose to stay in the closet to get better considered for 'straight' roles (somehow I think it still happens like that), but a recent blog post or article, probably at Post Apocalyptic Bohemian, suggested that the movie industry should also start appreciating gay actors who can convincingly play straight roles, as "Brokeback Mountain" so well proved to us in reverse.
