Matt Bomer Comes Out... As a Loving Family Man in Awe of Diahann Carroll
Posted by Dennis Ayers, Editor on February 13, 2012

My inbox has been lit up this morning with folks saying actor Matt Bomer is "out" and why aren't we making a big to do? The supposed change in Bomer's status comes as a result of a speech he gave on Saturday at the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards. (He was accepting an award for his HIV/AIDS charity work).

Matt does make a special point of talking about Diahann Carroll and how she was the first African American woman to star in her own TV show and what an inspiration she is.  He also gives a shout out to his family seated in the audience, including "Simon."

I think the speech is lovely, but I'm not sure it changes the status quo any with respect to how this site would cover him moving forward. One assumes if Bomer wants to elaborate further, he will.
Video of his speech below. Let us know what you think.
