I wish he had done this interview without sounding so self-important and self-serious. At least he says he now realizes his coming out is not the most weighty thing that ever happened, but it would have been nice if he smiled more in his photos and did not speak so portentously of his career.

Also, the current boyfriend motivated him to come out? What about Carter Smith? As far as I know, he was not in the closet. In fact, when they broke up, Carter was seen living his live openly with his new partner.

Uh, did I miss a part of the article?
The OP said he came out as gay. I didn't see anywhere where he refers to himself as gay. I see where he mentions dating men and women, and that he considers himself a part of the 'queer' community. I did see where his female friend refers to him as gay, but I don't see anything where he backtracks on his bisexuality.
The OP says he lied about dating women. Again, that's not what I read. His female friend talks about her bemusement at being mistaken for his love interest when they attended an event together. But nowhere did I see where Pace himself renounced his romantic relationships with women.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I just didn't see the claims in OP's post in the linked article.

R81 Yeah people seem obsessed with definitions. Sometimes I think it's the same thing as the norms and stereotypes of the straight community except pointed the other way. If you call yourself gay, you are required to swear off women forever (and the women from your past need to be regarded as mistakes and bad experiences). If you happen to like a single woman sexually and romantically, you get pushed into bi/queer category, but then people say you aren't genuine because your attraction is not divided equally between sexes. Weird.

Everyone's "obsessed" with other people's sex lives, but since forever gay people have been told that they're not "gay" and should change or hide, so you'll forgive us for being adamant about not hiding away from that particular definition. Pace's own friends who've known him for years describe him as gay. It's a shame he has to use this "queer" nonsense, but there we are.

Which directly contradicts his own words about having dating women. Is she trying to paint him as a liar? Why did the author include both quotes at the same time? Shady.
Anyway, I gather Pace himself is more aware of his sexual identity than other people, even if they are his friends. So why would anyone rely on their words more than on his own? If he chooses to say he is queer, then he should not be told to stop lying or to change his self-identity to suit other people's tastes. It's just as offensive as asking a gay person to call himself something else. You don't get to define it for him.

There's no way that friend would have said what she said without speaking to him first. There's nothing shady about it. If you look at the situation, then it seems quite clear. Pace came out as "queer" because he doesn't want to restrict his career chances, but his friend does what he feels he can't directly by stating what he actually is. Gay. He says as much himself in the anecdote about his former agent. Again, indirectly. It's a shame he feels the need to dance around it in this way, but it's understandable.

But his close friend, who's known him for years, says he's gay and he himself indirectly says he's gay in the anecdote about his agent. It's not difficult to understand. Officially he's "queer", which leaves a slither of hope for his female fans and therefore potential job offers in the future, but in that article he indirectly (through anecdote and close friends) states his homosexuality. As I say, it's a shame he has to dance around it like that in 2018, but it is understandable.

Nowhere does he admit he was fake dating women as well. If that interview is created specifically in order to prove his gayness without him identifying himself as such, why is the quote about women included there? Seems counterproductive.
You are being offensive as hell with this magnanimously condescending attitude. You don't know why he chose to say what he said. You don't have any idea about his private experiences or his reasons.

It nearly broke this website you queens were so incensed, but it’s 100% true, whether you like it or not. They met on the street. Lee does that sort of thing.

Are you kidding? His agent was speaking to him about an issue that would obviously greatly reduce his career prospects at the time. The agent said he'd heard he was gay. If he was bisexual then he would have instantly (and presumably happily) told him not to worry as he was actually bisexual and had also dated women in the past. He didn't. The agent said he'd heard he was gay and his response was "Is that a problem?" It's obviously you who is reading too much into Pace's responses in a way that personally pleases you. If he really is bisexual then great, but it seems significant that his female friend of many years says (in an important interview that she would have discussed with Lee beforehand) that she always knew he was gay.

R100 You operate under the assumption that having dated women makes a difference to people like that or to the general public. It doesn't. Not unless you have a girlfriend and are willing to stay that way for the public forever. Having been with a woman at some point of your life or being attracted to women to some degree is not any sort of happy ticket out of Gayland.
Case in point. Three months ago Pace only said he had dated men and women and was a member of the queer community. There was no other information. Most people (and media sources) immediately started calling him gay.

And then you complain about others misidentifying you.
Pace says he is queer and has dated men and women. It's not your place to pretend you know the truth or that you have a right to define his sexuality for him. He holds no responsibility for what other people say. He isn't obligated to explain or correct.

r104 So you are a straight woman. Don't you realize that it's precisely because of people like you that men like Lee feel they have to pretend to be bisexual to maintain a career? Not only do you refuse to accept that he's gay but you also feel the need to come on a gay forum and lecture gay men about their sexuality. Your use of the term "stereotype" in this context is as fatuous as it is offensive. By the way, authors of these types of articles don't place ads in newspapers asking for friends of the subject to interview, they ask the subject or their people for friends they can talk to. Lee would have been the person who chose this particular female friend of many years and he would have known exactly what she would have said as it's highly likely they would have discussed it beforehand. The fact she says she always knew he was gay is therefore implicitly confirmed by, which he then corroborates with the agent story. It's really not that difficult to understand.

I note that you only say that they're forced to come out as gay in this context, when the truth is that bisexuals are forced even more frequently and more forcefully to live as straight because of the obvious pressures of living as a gay person. The omission points to your total ignorance of the subject, due to your limited experience. Turn the self-righteousness down a notch and try to understand that you're on a gay forum full of men who have infinitely more experience of this subject than someone whose only interest is in maintaining an ideal image of their favorite television personality.

Don't be disingenuous. Lots of gay men refer to themselves and each other as "queer". When Lee says he's a member of the "queer community" he isn't saying he isn't gay. Nowhere has he ever denied being gay. The use of the term "queer" is intended to placate a certain type of straight female fan. His very close female friend, who he's known for many years and who he clearly trusts a great deal (and who you keep ignoring) states that she's always known he's gay. It's a shame he feels he has to dance around the subject in this way, but as others have said it's unfortunately something we can well understand given the position he's in.

So basically what you're saying is that everyone who calls themselves "queer" is actually something else (in your examples they're "sexually fluid" or bisexual, which are exactly the same thing of course). The problem with the word queer is that it doesn't actually describe anything concrete.
r171 Lee hasn't contradicted his friend with his own words. For all you know, he may be using the term "queer" to mean gay, as so many gay men have in the past and continue to this day.

also yes sure, many gay men dated women, but when you ask them if they're gay they wouldn't mention what they did for heteronormativity because it makes no sense. and if a man is married to a woman and enjoying that marriage he might not be quite gay but somewhere else in the spectrum (fluid? bi?), in the western world, in 2018.

You're being obtuse. What he said doesn't contradict what his friend says. Gay men call themselves "queer" all the time. His close friend of many years says she's always known him to be gay. As he hasn't denied or contradicted this, then there's no reason to doubt the veracity of what his friend says. yet you continue to do so. Why?

The label he uses for himself is commonly used as a synonym for gay. Therefore there's no reason not to accept what his close friend of many years says at face value. Why do you continue to do so? Does it bother you that he has a close straight female friend who not only knows more about him than you do but also refers to him as gay, which you don't seem to want to accept? I can't see any other reason to disbelieve her.

Okay, I'll explain it in simple language. His friend mentions only opposite sex attraction in the article, therefore it's safe to assume she's straight until such a time as she mentions also having same sex attractions. It's really not that difficult, but I think you know that and are just using this to try and deflect from the question that you clearly don't want to answer (we all know why you refuse to believe his close friend, but never mind).
Second, you'll notice that his close friend talks about actual attraction as opposed to merely dating. Lee mentions dating men and women. He doesn't mention attraction to women. You see the difference? As he never talks about actual attraction to women, there's nothing in what he says that contradicts what his close friend says, yet you refuse to believe her. You refuse to believe her because you're a woman who's attached to the idea that Lee is attracted to women. It's because of fans like you that men like Lee have to hide their sexuality for so long. You're not doing him any favors with this crap, you know?

What we know right now is that Pace is in a same-sex relationship. But nobody knows what the future holds (or the past held) for him. Let's wait for his next interview to see if he elaborates more on his points of view.

R241 Queer covers a whole range of sexual identities. The point is that if a person defines himself as queer, it is no one's business to change that into gay, bisexual or other terms that please you personally or seem more fitting.

243, thanks for the reply but if 'queer covers a whole range of sexual identities' then how can it also be 'a clear definition' when applied to identity?
What I'm saying is, I understand some people can use the word 'queer' to cover basically everything that is non-heterosexual or non-traditional sexually. But an individual identifying their sexual orientation as queer is obviously not making 'a clear definition' of their sexuality, because the word is an umbrella term.
by Anonymous | reply 244 | June 15, 2018 7:40 PM |
r243, one more thing. I also disagree with this notion that if someone identifies as something then no one else can disagree with them.
If a straight identified man tells me he is sexually attracted to both men and women, then I consider him to be bisexual, because that's the definition of the word. Now, he can obviously continue to identify as straight if he wants, but that doesn't mean I have to change my understanding of language and reality to agree with him.
by Anonymous | reply 245 | June 15, 2018 7:49 PM |
R245 Gay, straight and bisexual aren't that clear to begin with because we mix up attraction, behaviour and social factors. Like someone said above, a gay man can have a marriage in his past. Obviously he was able to get it up for his wife somehow and also more than once. Is he really as gay as a guy who tried but felt like he couldn't ever, like the very idea of sex with a woman was weird and illogical and his body protested it? If he says so, then he is. If you consider yourself straight for many years but then you meet this single person of your own sex who gives you a hard-on, can/will you immediately switch to considering yourself bisexual? What if someone is attracted to both but chooses to only have experiences with one? Some other people will only consider you bisexual if your actual experiences are close to 50/50. It's one big mess. That's why a person's own definition goes first. They are making a clear definition what they identify as.

You're trying to mix up all kinds of irrelevant factors with the basic fact of sexual attraction. A gay man is attracted to men alone. That's what makes him gay. The stuff about getting it up for a woman is both presumptuous and conjecture. You've no idea if a gay man who's married to a woman can or has had sex with her and if he has what he did or thought about to become aroused. The stuff about using ambiguous umbrella terms which don't in any way connote sexual attraction is also irrelevant when it comes to clear definitions of sexuality. Lee Pace is either gay or bisexual. As neither he nor anyone else has ever said that he's bisexual, then there's no reason to assume that he is. On the other hand, as one of his closest friends has said that she's always known him to be gay and nothing Lee has said has contradicted that, then there's everything reason to believe that he's gay. Therefore, when he says he identifies as "queer", it's more than likely that he's using the word as a synonym for gay, which it commonly is.

R247 Sexual identity and sexual attraction are not the same thing, and even if they were, there is no way to determine one's true attraction from outside. Your idea of Pace's sexual identity is what's irrelevant.

r246, I think you are mixing up orientation, identity and behaviour.
Sexual orientation is a spectrum. At the polar ends are heterosexuality and homosexuality, exclusive sexual attraction to the opposite or same sex respectively. People whose sexuality lie in between the polar ends, i.e. those who are sexually attracted to both sexes to varying degrees, are bisexual. That's it.
Now how people choose to behave or identify with their sexuality can vary wildly, and for many different reasons.

You know, the probability of any of us meeting or actually having sex with Lee isn't very likely. However, it's possible to buy a ticket to see Lee right now on Broadway in "Angels In America" where he, in character, is doing a full frontal scene fully-lighted where all 6'5" of him is there for all ticketbuyers to see. He's very good acting-wise as well. Nice trim bod, smooth except for the usual places. I hadn't seen him the the "Credeaux Canvars" play where he did a nude scene years ago, so happy to have seen him in this great production of a terrific play. It's in Part 2, near the end of the first act where he doffs his clothing, btw. Enjoy Lee, and let him have sex with whoever he wants to and get back to pursuing your own sex life.

Jeez! This thread...
Queer = umbrella term for non-heterosexual He might be somewhere in the middle of the Kinsey scale, he might be a 6 (100% gay) and talk about heterosexual experimenting in his youth but it's clear that he wants to avoid labels and being too specific. Maybe because his sexuality is more complex or to avoid alienating his fans. Whichever it is, maybe we should talk in terms of "probably/maybe gay" rather than pretend we KNOW. You know, just being respectful.
Regarding his very close friend for years and years whatever... Some people only know of the words 'straight' and 'gay' and anyone who is not completely straight is called 'gay' by those. We don't know if he even had the possibility to change her words before the interview was printed.
Let Lee be coy about his sexuality if he wants to. The important thing is he's dating men!
