Kevin Spacey: still not gay

Kevin Spacey is tired of all the questions surrounding his sexuality. He thinks it is akin to anti-gay bullying and he would like it to stop, thank you very much.

Kevin Sessums of the Daily Beast website asked the actor about the whole gay thing: “We gay men have always proudly claimed you as a member of our tribe, and yet you don’t proudly claim us back. Why?”

Spacey replied: “Look, I might have lived in England for the last several years but I’m still an American citizen and I have not given up my right to privacy.”

He continued: “I think what we have seen in terms of gay teenagers committing suicide because of bullying is anguishing. I think young people, if they are feeling like they are confused, need to know that there are people to talk to and that there are places they can go and not feel alone.

“People have different reasons for the way they live their lives. You cannot put everyone’s reasons in the same box. It’s just a line I’ve never crossed and never will.”
