Actor Zachary Quinto: 'I'm A Gay Man'

By The Stir. Posted on Oct 17th 2011.

Until now, the hunky Quinto -- known for Star Trek -- kept his sexual orientation private.

If actor Zachary Quinto of American Horror Story, Star Trek, and Margin Call wanted the world to know he was gay, he'd probably tell us. But in fact, it appears that, until now, Quinto actually preferred to keep his sexual orientation private. He's never talked about it openly.

So what the hell was New York magazine contributing editor Mark Harris thinking when he "outed" Quinto via Twitter last night?

Here's what @MarkHarrisNYC tweeted: Congratulations to Zachary Quinto, out and proud in the new issue of New York Magazine

Quinto has long been supportive of the gay community and he's played a series of gay roles throughout his career. He recently joined the cast of American Horror Story on which he plays a gay homeowner, he played a man who left his AIDS-stricken lover in Angels in America, and Quinto also appeared in an "It Gets Better" video against gay bullying.
