Hollywood Is Homophobic, Star Says

Posted May 2, 08 3:15 PM CDT in Gossip,  Arts & Living 

(Newser) – Hollywood is filled with closeted gay actors—and off-balance media coverage and Hollywood homophobia are keeping them there, says actor Alan Cumming. “I don't think the people that go see films care that much,” the X-Men 2 star told the BBC. “The media make it more of a deal and it’s made into controversy.” Cumming, who is openly gay, thinks Hollywood is an especially anti-gay place. "Definitely."
