Zachary Quinto Comes Out in New York Magazine Interview

Set phasers to stun!  Zachary Qunito has come out in an interview with New York Magazine, published today.

Quinto, who released an emotional “It Gets Better” video in October 2010, has never confirmed nor denied his sexual orientation in the past, but it has certainly been the subject of rumor since he burst onto the scene playing Mr. Spock in the JJ Abrams “Star Trek” reboot in 2009.   In the interview, Quinto discusses his latest film, “Margin Call” and the ongoing Occupy Wall Street protests, but the most revealing moment in the interview is where he almost nonchalantly reveals his orientation to the interviewer:

“…For one thing, he’s willing to unambiguously talk about his sexual orientation. His eight-month role in Angels was both “the most challenging thing I’ve ever done as an actor and the most rewarding” he says. Having to inhabit that terrible lost world, if only in his mind, took a toll. “And at the same time, as a gay man, it made me feel like there’s still so much work to be done, and there’s still so many things that need to be looked at and addressed.”

Welcome to the other side of the closet, Zachary!  It’s nice to have you here.
