    Name some Actors/Characters from TV shows you recently found out were Gay. How did you find out and what did you think? I made this topic because I basically found out this info like today (I'm way out of the loop) and was wondering if anyone else has any stories.

    1. Niel Patrick Harris-I was on a site looking up the top 10 Gay actors and saw him on it. I was like "Huh? NPH? Never would have thought he was gay. Good for him."

    2. B.D. Wong- I was listening to some Law and Order SVU dvd commentary and they mention it. I thought "Is it just me or have a lot of Asians come out of the closet recently?"

    3. Lexington from Gargoyles- I was reading info on a new Gargoyles comic series that is gonna come out and the creator said maybe they can finally reveal that Lexington is gay without having the executives shoot it down. I thought "Wow! I can't believe Lexington is gay! I knew it!" Also I thought "Hmmm. Maybe that is why the forum member Lexington picked that name and pic and it's not just because Gargoyles was a cool show."

    I also didn't know Rock Hudson or David Hyde Pierce was gay until I read the top 10 gay actors list.

    ... until I was on this site I didn't know that Neil Patrick Harris was gay, or Nathan Lane (the latter incredibly recently).

    I love when Nathan explained being gay on Conan one time.

    "I'm over 40, single, & into musical theatre. You do the math."

    I had no idea Christopher Meloni was gay.

    I don't think Christopher Meloni is gay. His bio says he's married with kids. Also what about some characters?

    I didn't know Christopher Sieber (the dad from Two of a Kind) was gay until he said so himself in a documentary.

    Lily Tomlin.

    I read it and I was like, "... Whoa, the Ms. Frizzle lady is a lesbian? Awesome."

    Apparently it was a bit of an open secret that Ellen DeGeneres was gay before the whole Puppy Episode, but I had no idea. In fact, I didn't really know very much about her period.

    NOWAI?! I had no idea she was a lesbian!
    I totally had a crush on Ms. Frizzle as a kid! XD

    ...ok, so I have a thing for teachers. Shutup. v_v

    And as for surprising gay people, I was surprised by Dumbledore's gayness! I really was. Once I knew, it was like "...well, I should have known that!" But I was so clueless.

    Me neither.

    Speaking of comedians, I'll say Wanda Sykes as well. I was totally shocked when she came out.

    Meredith was a total surprise for me too.

    It's just like she and Matt Lauer said herself right after saying so in the interview. I was one of many people going "What? What?" :lol:

    Jane Lynch surprised me too. But then again I had never been that familiar with her before Glee... or at least not that I remember. And I had never heard anything about her personality.
