Matt Bomer has revealed the painful reality of publicly revealing sexuality before it gets ready on several online media platforms, including American celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton.
I’ll talk to you Dinner is heading to mesponsored podcasts Modern family Star Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Bomber recalls going out in the early 2000s.
Bommer didn’t hide who he was in his life, but he said he was never given the opportunity to publicly share that part of himself on his own terms.
“People were able to take over your own personal stories before you got the chance. I was already out in my life, but that was a time when it was very dangerous to go out professionally,” Bommer said. “This decision was taken out of my hands.”
He said it wasn’t because he “didn’t have a career that would guarantee it” and “I didn’t want to do it.”
“It felt unfair to me that it was stolen by people who had microphones at the time,” Bommer explained.
Matt Bomer was published as a gay during the 2012 Pursuit Humanitarian Awards, and thanked his partner Simon Halls during his speech.
Bommer expressed his gratitude to his “loving family” who was a “safety net” for him if his career was influenced by his sexuality.
Bommer, now a father of three and a longtime advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, also spoke about the endurance of homophobia in his career and the emotional sacrifice of having to hide a part of himself to feel safe in the industry.
He also spoke about one professional experience that he felt he couldn’t go out on set early in his career, saying he would not “remorse” without saying anything.
“I was no one else because language was thrown into sets and directions and given where those terms were said,” he added.
Matt Bommer is currently starring Mid-century modern. The Hulu sitcom features queer legends Nathan Lane and Nathan Lee Graham along with Bomber and follows three friends who are all “gay gentlemen of a particular age.”
