Thomas Dekker Comes Out

Just read this tweet from Thomas Dekker. He officially comes out as gay after he was outted by a "prominent gay man" in an acceptance speech. Thomas married his husband in April. Anybody know who outted him in a speech?

He has gay face. I could tell he was gay when he was on the Sarah Connor Terminator tv show.

It was never a secret and very few will be surprised.

I had no idea he'd gotten married. I was under the impression that he and Louis Hunter were an item.

by Anonymousreply 3July 14, 2017 1:10 AM

It was show runner Bryan Fuller (Heroes, Pushing Daisies, etc.). I remember all the drama surrounding Heroes because his management didn't like that his character was going to be gay. Not a secret but, as he said in his tweet, he never actually publicly came out and Fuller did it for him (not maliciously, but still).

His case is one of the most absurd in Hollywood's attempt to keep actors pretending to be straight so they could play major straight roles. No matter how much they tried to butch him up on camera, he was always Chris Colfer with a lower voice. It was the proverbial case of even Stevie Wonder from space could see that he was gay.

For R11

"I had a brief stint onĀ HeroesĀ whereĀ the gay character was 'hetwashed' after the actor's management threatened to pull him from the show if he ā€” the character, not the actor ā€” were gay. The character became straight and the actor came out as gay." (He was referring to Thomas Dekker, who hasn't said he's gay. He confirmed complications surrounding his character's sexuality in a lengthyĀ blog postand later toldĀ OutĀ magazine that heĀ was openĀ to relationships with men and women.)

Dekker is an idiot if he thinks Fuller outed him. Dekker is married to a man and his social media is gay. What the fuck is there to out when you are already living as a gay person?

Thomas Dekker must be using this to get some publicity. I also remember the whole Heroes' scandal and what a homophobic move it was to pull that on the tv writers. The writers had crafted a good gay character and team Dekker sabotage that plan.

by Anonymousreply 84July 14, 2017 8:43 PM

Dekker's take on the Heroes mess.

According to Dekker, whoĀ here elaborates on the subject, he played the character for 12 episodes with no direction other than that his Zach had a crush on Claire (Hayden Panattiere). And then a few hours before filming, he was given a script that had Zach matter-of-factly stating he was gay.

ā€œI went through the f*cking roof!ā€ Dekker says. ā€œIf youā€™re going to have a gay character on your show come out and be a pioneer for kids, I wouldā€™ve liked to play that from the get-go from my perspective. I went to set and said to the writers, ā€˜I really wish that it wouldnā€™t have been five hours before I come into work that I get this news that [the character] Iā€™d been playing for the last 12 episodes knows and is comfortable with the fact that he is gay. Because I wouldā€™ve played this very differently.ā€™ But I said Iā€™d do it, and then a couple hours later the creator, Tim Kring, showed up and said, ā€˜No, no, no. Weā€™re going to change it [back to him being straight].ā€™ ā€

From the way he worded his letter it sounded like he labeled himself "sexually fluid" and never felt the need to identify as anything. But at some point in time he became more comfortable and felt that it was important to have more gay representation.

What I want to know is what brought on this conclusion. Was his "no labels" mantra inspired by insecurity or did his attraction go beyond male and female? Was he ever truly bisexual or did his "I'm open to dating men and women" statement come from conflicting emotions about accepting who he really is? It's interesting that if he really was that timorous about his sexuality then how was he able to bond and marry a man? Is it possible to find love halfway in the closet?

I linked 2011 interview for reference NOTE I'm not doubting that people can change in 6 years, I'm asking if he did change and if so how much of a change was it? Basically, is his coming out the first time he's acknowledge he's gay to himself or is it a label he's attached to make the "gay lifestyle" easier?

From the statement it sounds to me like he wouldn't have come out if Fuller didn't allude to him.

Fuller probably didn't even think he wasn't out by now.

From an Out interview in 2011:

'I've only really had relationships with women, but I'm certainly not closed to it. If there are possibilities of being able to do anything in life, why would you say you would never take any up? In the later chunk of my teen years I was so all over the place with sex. It was terrible. I never really had a real relationship at all. During puberty, it's all about sex, and it's all about figuring yourself out. I think I overdid it when I was younger.'

[quote]The next step is for Thomas and his man to appear in public together.

As much as some people complain about Quinto and Miles or Stephen Fry and his young husband, at least they are fully open with their relationship. Only insecure gay actors still hedge with their personal lives. Their straight counterparts may not give details but they rarely hide their significant others, especially their spouses. Robin Lord Taylor of Gotham has been married forever and prior to Gotham discussed being gay in an interview with Billy Eichner. He booked Gotham and an interview mentioned his wedding ring and he quickly shut it down by saying he was married but didn't want to discuss it. It took the Pulse tragedy for him to discuss being gay on Twitter and that was just to post a picture of him holding his husband's hand. Now he posts pictures of his husband with the comments disabled.

Al this to say Dekker talks about being out but where is his pride about it. Hiding something as important as his marriage from his social media is weird.

They're cute together. I'm happy he's happy. Yes, he should have come out earlier and yes, it was pathetic how he denied it for so long when it's obvious he was gay. I think it's important to at least recognize that he did come out. He didn't have to, but he did. Hollywood is still very very very homophobic. I'm sure he was given advice about not coming out. It's not always easy. I think we should blame the homophobic industry instead of him. Ask yourself why it was so hard for him to come out. Lesbian actresses come out all the time, there is still a huge stigma against gay male actors, even the "obvious" ones, like Thomas Dekker and Garrett Clayton.

I think he lied when he said he was straight. There is no way in hell he was confused and just now at 30 realized he was gay. I think he was deeply closeted. He shouldn't have lied, and he should have come out long ago while he still had a career, it's typical to come out once your career tanks. I don't really blame him though, because it's a very homophobic industry. I hope he's finally happy and at peace with himself.
