Gaying it Forward.

Zachary Quinto recently came out.  One reason he came out was the recent suicide of Jamey Rodemeyer.  Now, ABC news reporter Dan Kloeffler came out while reporting on the story of Zachary Quinto's coming out.  WOW!  One gay comes out, then another gay comes out and so on and so on.  We're gaying it forward!  Who knows who will come out next?  It's soooo exciting.  Someone new seems to be coming out everyday.  Whoo hoo!

Dan says in his blog, "As a journalist, I don’t want to be the story, but as a gay man I don’t want to stand silent if I can offer some inspiration or encouragement to kids that might be struggling with who they are."

Zachary Quinto has COME OUT!

Wikipedia:
Quinto, who is of half-Italian and half-Irish descent,[1] was born in Pittsburgh and grew up in Green Tree, Pennsylvania, with his mother Margo and his brother Joe.[2] His father, John, who was a barber, died of cancer when Quinto was 7 years old.[3] He graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1995, where he participated in their musicals and won the Gene Kelly Award for Best Supporting Actor, and then attended Carnegie Mellon University's School of Drama, from which he graduated in 1999.[4][5]

In a NY Magazine article in the October 17, 2011 edition, on-line now, Zachary Quinto stated that he is a gay man.  Zachary commented that the recent stories of gay suicides and in particular Jamey Rodemeyer has compelled him to definitively come out.  Zachary Quinto played Spock in the Star Trek movie and has played gay roles in Tori Spelling's "so noTORIous" and in the Broadway revival of "Angels in America".
