Thank you, my sweet! I didn't get out of bed this morning expecting this news but I'm not surprised in any way. And I think he's chosen a good time to come out and join the people taking a stand against Russia's homophobia. :)
Just popped in to say I love what you wrote here, Mazza. It was no surprise, but (perhaps) typical of the man to reveal something personal where he saw public need? This being the situation in Russia.
Thought it was a show of strength. It won't do his writing career any harm, but more than that - it's shown solidarity, and perhaps leadership, to people without a voice or choice in countries not as free as our own.
He lied about his sexuality. *shrugs* He's an actor, he pretends, it might have been a contract issue. I think this was a fitting way for his fans to learn more about the real Wentworth, so good on him.
Wotcha, Rosie!! Things are okay, ta. You? I miss those halcyon days of yore too...but one never forgets! :)
It was almost as if the dear man was waiting for the right time and occasion to reveal what a lot of us have suspected for years and since he'd been invited to Russia to be honoured what a great opportunity to make his point?!! And even in declining the invitation he was as gracious as one would expect. Nope, it won't do his writing career any harm and he did speak out for people who, thanks to Putin and his bunch of bigots, cannot do the same.
Yes, it could be construed as lying about his sexuality; but it is part of his job to pretend and TPTB might have made him deny the rumours since he was the handsome leading man in PB...but his timing couldn't have been any better really, could it? So while I really adored him before I adore him even more now!

*le sigh* That slim chance I had is gone now! Forever! Seriously, I don't get the whole thing about coming out. I think straight people should start announcing "I'm straight" or everyone should just start announcing stuff that is nobody's business. Maybe then people will learn to get over it.
I like how he did it. Just living his life and taking stand. Because he's a gorgeous celebrity, it's a big deal.

Sorry, Simone, I missed this first time around!
It would be nice if peole learned to get over all of this nonsense but I like the way he did it too. That man always had grace. ♥ And it gave us a good reason to have a little get-together! :)
