Why doesn't Taylor Lautner come out of the closet?
If Kristen Stewart can come out and not have it affect her career, then I don't see why Taylor can't do the same.
Everyone already knows he's gay. I don't think anyone here would even dispute it.
And to be honest, I don't think anyone would care.
Plus, he has so much money from the Twilight movies, he can pretty much not give a shit any more.
Taylor seems to have a knack for comedy, so I'd love to see him do a sitcom or something.

That's for sure, but if you're talking in terms of getting acting parts, then it's not like the offers are pouring in right now.
Hell, even Kal Penn just came out, and he was harder to figure out than Taylor.
I think it's time, Tay Tay.

Because some Hollywood people still tell him that he has a chance of mainstream Hollywood (leading roles type of) success if he stays in the closet. And he thinks he can pull it off.

To be fair, Taylor isn't acting in anything right now, either.
So in or out of the closet, I think they just have the stink of the Twilight movies on them, and they're going to have to do something extraordinary to break out of that mold.
Even Pattinson isn't getting any choice roles.
The only one who has managed to have a career after a huge Trilogy-type of movie, is Daniel Radcliffe. And he worked his ass off, and made a lot of stinkers, to break away from Harry Potter.

I don't think being gay hurts his career. It's also because Taylor is not white. Hollywood doesn't have space for you if you're not white or Black. Hispanics, Asians, Middle Easterners and other aren't seen as marketable. Yes, I know white people can have tanned skin and cheekbones but Taylor's facial features are obviously Indigenous. He looks like a lot of Mexicans and Central Americans I know. Taylor could do more martial arts or action films, they are actually far more colorblind in casting. Lou Diamond Phillips, Keanu Reeves, Vin Diesel, The Rock and Rick Yune made a niche for themselves in action and genre films. The other option would be TV, he's eye candy, so no shortage of TV roles for him. But I think he's content with what he has. He made enough money.

I actually think he has Native American blood. That's why they cast him as the werewolf, with the other ethnic looking guys. He totally blends in with them.
I think his bio also states that he has some Native American heritage in his background.

R32, he dated Billie Lourd for a few months almost five years ago. That is not "recently." He has been with the "new" GF since 2018. They seem rather private, so it doesn't look like a bearding situation. I'd be happy for him to be gay, but I think this may be a case where the rumors are incorrect.

OK, I'm sure Taylor and Robert sucked a few dicks for roles here and there. It's not like they were ever acting prodigies. Robert's early modeling photos where clearly for the chickenhawks. Kristen came from a Hollywood family which explains why she keeps getting role after role.

Kristen can come out because she's a woman and not a sex symbol, and bisexuality and lesbianism doesn't hurt actresses' career to the same extent as a male. Amber Heard, Elliot Page (when Ellen), Rosie O'Donnell (ok ok, she wasn't "out" out but everyone knew) and Angelina Jolie come to mind as bi or lesbian actresses who didn't get that much backlash.

R29 Yes. He's in the Hollywood Evangelical Christian gang headed up by E! News's Jason Kennedy (whom he's very close friends with).
In Lautner's case, I don't think it's career prospects that are keeping him this closeted. That ship sailed a long time ago for him. If it's come to engagement/marriage, it's most likely something deeply personal. As usual, probably religion.

R74 Yep, Matt Lanter, Ryan Basford (from Chelsea Handler's old show), Patrick Schwarzenegger, Chris Pratt and his wife, Justin Bieber, Kanye and the Kardashians, and many more in "Young Hollywood" are part of that group. Hillsong is the big church they belong to, but there are quite a few others in LA they all attend. But Jason hosts (or at least used to) the big Wednesday bible study at the Beverly Hills Hotel all these types used to attend. I'm always a bit suspicious of these types because they act like they're young and somewhat progressive in their views while working in Hollywood (esp. around the LGBT issue), but the churches they attend are all connected to that hardcore Evangelical/Pentecostal network around the world that has shady as hell ties to politics, scandals, and all hold socially conservative interpretations of scripture. But they never talk about that part, or cop to it...
ps. I remember watching that wedding special of Jason Kennedy that followed the planning of their wedding. His "wife" was surprisingly chill, but Jason was the biggest queen through the whole process. It was so bizarre but so obvious.
