Title: Spock is gay!
Post by: Martinus on October 17, 2011, 01:38:16 AM
QuoteZachary Quinto Comes Out As Gay In New York Magazine, Talks 'Margin Call,' 'Angels In America'

Zachary Quinto, inheritor of the iconic Mr. Spock role in JJ Abrams' "Star Trek" reboot and the star of the upcoming film "Margin Call," reveals that he is gay in a new profile in New York Magazine. The star, 34, credits his role in the Broadway play "Angels In America," in which he plays a gay man who leaves his AIDS-afflicted boyfriend, for helping to put him further in touch with the hopes felt and struggles faced by both gay and straight Americans, and discusses his political outlook for the rights movement.

Living in New York during the play's run, Quinto says the experience was both challenging and rewarding, and gave him a fresh perspective on the work that needs to be done in the fight for equality. On one hand, New York State legalized gay marriage; on the other, a gay teen committed suicide earlier this year because of unending bullying.

"As a gay man I look at that and say there's a hopelessness that surrounds it," he says, "but as a human being I look at it and say 'Why? Where's this disparity coming from, and why can't we as a culture and society dig deeper to examine that?' We're terrified of facing ourselves."

Quinto has long been an advocate for gay rights -- he performed in a 2009 staging of "The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later" and appeared at a banquet for the cause that same weekend, and put out an "It Gets Better" video the next year. That often fed into speculation over his sexuality, as did the fact that he's played a number of gay roles, and is doing so again in his latest television show, "American Horror Story."

In an interview with the New York Times last year, he said he preferred discussion about his advocacy over personal matters.

"The fact that these things are such hot-button issues right now, socially and politically, I would much rather talk about that than talk about who I sleep with," Quinto said. "I would love to be a voice in this maelstrom of chaos and obsessive celebrity infatuation that says, 'Let's talk about something that matters.'"

As Spock, he had a blossoming romance with Zoƫ Saldana's Uhra; he just appeared this fall as the ex-boyfriend of Anna Faris in "What's Your Number.

Another hot guy batting for our team.  :cool:

There aren't many out young actors.  Generally I think it's something actors are advised against, even Ian McKellen was in the closet until he was in his forties or fifties when he was outed.  I can't think of many comparable actors who are openly gay (his age, his level of success and the rest) and the idea that Hollywood's just robustly hetero doesn't ring true.

This happening is a good thing in the normalisation of the gay :)

Just because he played the role once in a questionable attempt at revival (and otherwise being a nobody) does not justify to call him "Spock". Nimoy still owns that brand.

I have to say I am not a big fan of knowing much about actors and actresses personal lives.  Like knowing an actor is married and seeing them kissing somebody else or whatever.  It is not that I think what I am seeing on the screen is real or anything just that it is easier to suspend my disbelief if I don't know that Michael C Hall is not actually gay when watching Six Feet Under. I kind of like just having them be a blank slate and knowing them only by their work.

That I don't know.  I just remember seeing the non-gay Spock describe that as a kid in temple there was one part of the service where everyone was supposed to turn around away from the rabbi, and being a kid he looked back at the rabbi who was making that hand gesture.

It's a ritual blessing given by Kohens. Here it is on a gravestone:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Grave_Rabbi_Meschullam_Kohn.jpg

:D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priestly_Blessing

QuoteIn the mid-1960s, actor Leonard Nimoy, who was raised in a traditional Jewish home, used a single-handed version of this gesture to create the Vulcan Hand Salute for his character, Spock, on Star Trek. He has explained that while attending Orthodox services as a child, he peeked from under his father's tallit and saw the gesture; many years later, when introducing the character of Mr. Spock, he and series creator Gene Roddenberry thought a physical component should accompany the verbal "Live long and prosper" greeting. The Jewish priestly gesture looked sufficiently alien and mysterious, and became part of Star Trek lore.

He wasn't quite a nobody.  Heroes was pretty big (and the first series was really good).  Also I thought Star Trek was brilliant.  I think they managed to get the spirit of it incredibly well without being slaveishly dull or just copying the original. Kirk's especially good, it's clearly the same character but it's not simply a Shatner impersonation.

QuoteI kind of like just having them be a blank slate and knowing them only by their work.
I respect actors who keep their lives private - Gary Oldman, for example, simply refuses to answer questions on his personal life.  But I don't think that's always possible, especially for young reasonably good looking ones who will be followed by the press - this means he can probably live his life reasonably comfortably and not worry about who could be photographing him.  Equally Ian McKellen-style gay activism doesn't bother me or change how I see his work.

Glee and Grey's Anatomy respectively.

I wasn't even trying with that list just think of young(ish) gay actors that are out. My point is that the situation is improving...although not perhaps for the roles of leading mean which I think is something Rupert Everett wisely called out.

I, naturally, hope homosexual people can choose to be open or not be open as their preference dictates and do not feel compelled to keep their sexuality a secret to protect their careers.  Scientologists, on the other hand, must be discovered and publicly shamed.

I feel exactly the same way.  I have never really cared what an actor does in his real life (within limits.  He's probably shouldn't murder people), and I never pay attention to the entertainment news.  The only one I noticed was the Scientology ones because that often got reported in the real news.

My gaydar must be getting better because I figured he was from the beginning. I assumed he was out a long time ago and the Kaylee crush was a running joke. That's encouraging because I once worked with a lady who used to be a guy (had the operation)--It didn't even occur to me at all. I figured she was just an ugly chick who happened to look like John Cleese.

If he knew Martinus existed, he'd turn back to normal.

Yes, gays are not normal.

As soon as I saw this, I figured a Marti thread was coming.  Also, conveniently Marti "liked" Quinto on Facebook shortly after.  Another youngish actor that recently came out was the doctor from Firefly/Serenity (Sean Maher).  Where's his thread?! :mad:
He doesn't get one because he's a shit actor no one likes.

"Sylar is gay!"

in the thread title.

I didn't see the Heroes. I watched the pilot and found it boring, but may give it a second try now.

It's really only good for the first season or so. Then the novelty wears off. They stop introducing new characters with new powers as frequently, and the plot starts to flounder.

probably meant you were never going to watch it... but, watch Heroes until you think the plot is stupid and then stop. It follows a long shallow downhill trajectory and eventually goes nowhere.

Martinus' willingness to watch anything if it casts a gay or has a gay character is heartwarming.  Weren't you all a-flutter because Gaeta on the new Battlestar Galactica was supposed to be gay, or was that Grallon?

He was gay - although I think they only explored that on a webisode or something of the like.

BTW, the REAL Spock is not gay, is on his second marriage and has two kids.

While checking up I found out both Nimoy and Shatner are Ukrainian Jews.

You sure?  I could swear I've read Spock is Czech.
