Or Victor Garber

See, that's what I have problems with. Jim Parsons is outwardly gay enough in his personality. This isn't like Neil Patrick Harris or anything. And for those types of gay people, there's not all this pressure for people to think you're something that you are not.
In the 70s and 80s if coming out of the closet were as acceptable as it is now, I don't think Paul Lynde or Charles Nelson Reilly would make public statements about their sexuality. Why should they?
