The fact its been listed on Wikipedia and spoke about in other publications that hes been in a 13 year relationship with Rainer Andreesen kinda made me think he was already out.

Yawper, I wouldn't exactly call this "coming out"...if you read the article, the blogger says that he asked Garber if what was on Wikipedia about Rainer Andreesen being his partner was true, he said that he doesn't usually talk about it but that it was true.

I'm pretty sure he's been openly gay for quite some time now, if not his whole career, it's just he never made a big show of coming out like we've come to expect.

On a side note, I *loathe* g.d.e.l.g.i. and would not shed a tear if he broke every finger and was unable to type another word and that that no one ever allowed him access dictation software.

Well I'm waiting for Fox News to put out a "Gay Man Responsible For The Sinking Of The Titanic" story now.

Dear Namo,

I interpret your strongly worded hate fantasy as a covert homosexual advance... which I ACCEPT!

Yours sincerely,

g.d.e.l.g.i. :)

He is also very close friends with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner -- in fact he, being an ordained internet minister, officiated at their wedding and is godfather to one of their children. Imagine, getting married by the guy who played both Jesus and Satan! Updated On: 1/15/13 at 01:11 AM

Yeah, I assumed it was "confirmed". A year or two ago for a Canadian magazine (Canadian, so I guess it doesn't matter) he mentioned Rainer, his "companion of 13 years" I suppose some might think that was vague or something... And I'm sure he's mentioned him before.

But for those interested some gay blogger has quickly posted a series of pictures of Rainer's modelling shots and his artwork...

Who cares if this is his "coming out" or not? Love this thread so much, he's just so wonderful. And his "September Song" is heartbreaking.
Jordan and Wynbish, keep them coming!

This can't be said too many times, I suppose, suestorm, but:

When any admired public figure comes out as gay or lesbian, it can be an enormous positive influence on GLBT youth (and adults) who live in societally-induced fear and self-loathing.

Until we reach that Utopian day when being gay or lesbian no longer means being hated, feared, or attacked, a celebrity's vocal coming out can only be a good thing.

I had no idea. I was actually just watching the Golden Globes the other night and thinking about what a fox he is. :)

newintown, i respect what youre saying... my thing is im glad hes gay, but as most on this thread have said, as with jodie, its been a known fact for years. not sure how his announcing it is going to help some kid in alabama. thats all im saying.

[Wynbish]

Posted: 1/15/13 at 12:49pm

I don't think you can call this situation "announcing it". He was asked. He answered.

A "known fact" and a proud out-loud statement are two entirely different things.

If you truly can't see how a public statement "is going to help some kid in alabama," I'm not sure anyone can explain it to you. To me, it's as obvious as the color of the sky.
