Kevin Spacey 2017 Tony Awards Host — Page 2

Did you have to ? and to the others making 'gay' innuendos--totally unfunny and unnecessary.

Of course that's coming from a bitter old queen with a wicked sense of humour.

I think he will be non-swishy and an excellent hostess.

I like Kevin Spacey. He's a great actor. He doesn't scream "AWARD SHOW HOST!!!!!" to me, but I have no doubt that he'll be fine in the spot.

When I was little, it was nasty straight people who use to label people's sexuality as a joke against them. Now it's nasty gay people doing it, too. How ironic.

Oh please. Spacey famously refuses to come out despite having a well-known history of hitting on and sleeping with younger men. I'm not dissing him because he's gay, but I'm making fun of him because celebrities in the glass closet is entirely tiresome in 2017.

He would be a wonderful wizard

Maybe he'll use the Tonys as an outlet to come out of the closet already!!

Well-known?? What is your source? You seem bitter.

Were you not able to get him off so he never called back?

I think Kevin is pretty charming and has a good sense of humor, plus he can sing! I don't know if he is going to do an opening number, but he has a good jazz sensibility. I think he has the potential to be fun!

He's also quick-witted. The importance of having a host who can think on his feet was hammered home at the Oscars. Jimmy Kimmel's Steve Harvey quip was just what the doctor ordered for that awkward moment.

Tell that to all the openly gay actors, directors, choreographers, playwrights, designers and producers who will be in the audience with their boyfriends and husbands while A-List Celebrity Kevin Spacey gets to host their awards show and wave to his "girlfriend" in the audience again. This isn't the 1990s. Anyone of his stature who is still using the "private life private" excuse is perpetuating the problem.



GreasedLightning- ask Anthony Rapp how he feels about Kevin Spacey. Google that sh*t.

I don't really care about his personal life, so I'll pass. He's a great choice as a host and I'm a fan of his work as an actor. I'll leave it at that and you all should too.

"What? Is this a joke? Coming out of the closet is one of the most personal decisions you can ever make. Nobody owes anybody else their decision to come out."

You'll find that there are a lot of great minds who disagree with you on that; but political awareness comes to everyone at a different time.

Being gay is no more than having this sexual orientation. It's appalling that people have been associating it with certain kinds of lifestyles, whereas in fact homosexuality itself does not account for or is not the excuse of personal choices.

Also, for those fuming over his not coming out, I bet you really want to let everyone know your SSN and be proud of doing it.

newintown said: "Good. Tell it to the teens who kill themselves because they think being gay is something shameful to hide. More and more role models are living their lives openly, because they're aware of the responsibility they have to their community."

Okay, we're treading a fine line here. Yes, we should (and I would say, do) applaud those in the public eye who come out and create visibility. That's a given.

However, to say that closeted celebrities have a responsibility or an obligation or a moral accountability to come out is totally absurd. They have personal lives, and you don't know what demons they're facing. If Kevin Spacey came out, would gay teen suicides decline? I'm seriously doubtful.

Let people make their own decisions.
