It's Official

lukemacfarlane.jpg

Luke MacFarlane is officially 'out' as a gay man. But, this should come as no surprise to readers of PerezHilton.com.

We told you repeatedly about Luke's relationship with closeted Prison Break hottie Wentworth Miller.

MacFarlane also briefly dated Grey's Anatomy's T.R. Knight last year.

He gets around!

Luke, a Canuck, tells Canada's Globe and Mail that it's the upcoming marriage of his gay character in the ABC hit show Brothers & Sisters that inspired him to go public with his sexual orientation.

MacFarlane admits feeling a bit 'terrified' about the public revelation. He says, "I don't know what will happen professionally … that is the fear, but I guess I can't really be concerned about what will happen, because it's my truth."

The truth will always set you free!

This will HELP your career, honey!

      So nice that Canada is so accepting of gay and lesbian people, other cultures, and diversity. We could learn a lot from them about tolerance. Hope Hollywood will not blacklist him. Hey he and Wenty could get married in Canada - that would be so nice for them. He is very handsome.

      well done luke, now if only wenty could do the same, i'm guessing this will break them up.
      wentworth miller would rather live a life of misery and lies than admit to his homosexuality.
      THAT IS SAD.

      Congrats with leaving your closet, Luke. I hope the Hollywood and the US are ready for this. I am sorry for you closeted people, it is so hard to live a lie.

      Don't let the conservative American Christians decide for all of us.

      Out with hate, and in with love.

IF THEY ALL CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET, I THINK THERE WOULD BE VERY FEW TRUE HETEROS LEFT IN HOLLYWOOD. WELL, FOR THE MOMENT, I GUESS WE GIRLS STILL HAVE BRAD PITT. JEEEEEEEEEZ!

      "I didn't think i'd have to say this again. I posted earlier, in January maybe, that Luke is somebody I've known for several years and he NEVER dated Miller. At the time he was photog with Miller he was in a relationship with D.G. who is a painter and a musician like me. I know them both and they joked about the story. Luke even said that he didn't know much about Miller who was polite and friendly but very secretive. He doesn't know if Miller is gay or not. Don't believe me if you like and carry on speculating, I don't care.

      it's 20-08……don't ever hide who you are, don't ever be afraid of what anyone else thinks……we should all be way past this conversation about GAY…….if anyone has an issue with it……THEY SHOULD FUCK-OFF & you should feel fine telling them that. there is nothing abnormal or wrong with being gay…it's the same as being white, black, catholic or straight……STAY GAY & ROCK IT OUT…..GO FOR IT!!!!!

      It's so sad that it's still considered "bad" to be gay while girls like Paris or Lindsey can screw numerous people and thats okay.
      A person shouldn't have to be brave to come out, just honest.

      54

      I applaud him. I thought that he might be and am glad that he doesn't feel that he has to hide it any longer. There's a great deal of freedom in that…even in the South. With regard to his rumored relationship with Miller, well, I hope he's nicer than he always appears to be…especially to Luke. Luke seems like a nice guy.

      Make sure to go for the eyes, groin, and hair pulling if you have to.. your super running won't save you forever.

      Re: jason – ACTUALLY, I WOULD GUESS HE IS PROBABLY BOTH. AND YOU PROBABLY COULD ADD "SCARED"…… HOLLYWOOD'S FEAR THAT THE 'GAY' LABEL WILL HURT THE MONEY TAKE IS STILL VERY REAL AND THERE IS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON EVEN THE GAY/BI TOP TIER STARS (*COUGH– CLOONEY, AFFLECK, DAMON..ETC.) TO STAY IN THE CLOSET, TO GET A 'WIFE' OR FAG HAG AND PLAY THE BREEDER STUD ROLE. SAD BUT IT HAS BEEN THE CASE FOREVER HERE, AND THINGS MAY HAVE LOOSENED A BIT, BUT ONLY A BIT.

      63

      I think gay actors need to stop hidding, they should just come out! If more of them came out, perhaps there would be less fear about what will happen to their career, the public will be forced to accept their reality.
      Movies are all about fantasy, if over the years we have accepted watching gay men/women play the role of straight couples of the big screen, why can't we continue to do that if and when they come out of the closet?

    64. jack says – reply to this


      64

      I think it would be a pretty selfless, productive thing for all gay actors/actresses to come out… not even with the label "gay"…just be honest about relationships. It certainly hasn't hurt the reputations of actors past and present who may have had gay relationships (James Dean). You always wonder whether they refuse to do so purely for cash. Or whether it's internalized homophobia, fear of typecasting or a pressure from studios etc… would keanu's box office draw suffer if it's known he's fooled aorund with both sexes?

      I went to high school with Luke and let me tell you… every single girl in that school was IN LOVE with Luke… I guess now we know why he never dated any of them. I wonder if his twin sister is gay too??

    79. Not news says – reply to this


      79

      Luke was out to most people who knew him. This is not news. He went to a Gay and Lesbian Event not too long ago. Anyways, I think he's a cutie and I love his character on Brothers and Sisters.

      I still don't think Went is gay. I had read that he is dating Luke's sister. Who knows? I find it funny that with all the camera phones out there and paps following Went, they have never caught him with another man. Only Luke, once, and all they were doing was walking around. Wow. Scandalous.

      82

      So now just because Luke has come out of the closet, how does that make Wentworth gay? IT DOESN'T!! Just because he was seen with him, he is now labelled as gay, just because Luke is. That's just like calling every single man who has male friends gay because they hang around with men. Wentworth has denied many times that he is gay and even if he is, he is choosing to keep it private because he is that kind of guy. But congrats for Luke for finally coming out.
