Luke MacFarlane: I’m Gay

Canadian actor Luke MacFarlane reveals that he is gay in an exclusive interview with Canadian paper Globe and Mail.

“I don’t know what will happen professionally,” MacFarlane said. “That is the fear, but I guess I can’t really be concerned about what will happen, because it’s my truth. … There is this desire in L.A. to wonder who you are and what’s been blaring for me for the last three years is how can I be most authentic to myself - so this is the first time I am speaking about it in this way.”

In next month’s season finale of Brothers & Sisters, Luke, 28, will suit up and say his vows as his character, Scotty Wandell, marries his partner, Kevin Walker.

“From a standing outside perspective, and also as someone who is gay, I think that it’s a very exciting time,” MacFarlane said. “How exciting that we’re saying, ‘This can be part of the cultural fabric, now,’ because it is two series regulars, two people that you invite into your home and you see every week. It’s telling of the beginning of more waves and I’m very proud of that.”

When asked whether or not he was currently dating anyone, Luke declined to comment. And although Luke is not a paparazzi favorite, photogs did catch him hanging out with Prison Break hottie Wentworth Miller last summer.

Good for him. Know it’s time for Wentworth to come out.

Whoah there! @ 04/17/2008 at 8:15 am

By #87: “For all of you “people” who are hatin’ on Wentworth, are gay and just want him to be gay to fulfill your “deviant fantasies,” or for those of you who are straight freaks and love to watch gay sex…”

Whoah! So thinking Wentworth is gay is “hatin’” on him? And gay fantasies are “deviant”?

Homophobic much?

Thanks for revealing your tru colors though.

And Went, I think these kinds of comments should be real encouragement to you to come out. Do you really want fans like these?

@SweetyKat,

Thanks for your support!!! Don’t bother wasting your precious time on these idiots who are so delusional to believe that Wentworth is gay when he has said over and over again that he’s not.

The Wentworth haters are obviously gay and want him so badly to be gay as well. They will never stop accusing him of lying and hiding in the closet. They are pathetic losers who need to get a life and accept that Wentworth Miller is NOT GAY!!!!

Luke is gay, Went is STRAIGHT, get over it! ‘Nuf said!

This subject is permanently closed!!!!

WOW amazing …….lmao

Let’s wait and see!!!

He’s gay, he’s not……yes he is, no he is not……..I know he is, I ‘m telling you is not ………………………

What’s the point???

Went we love you no matter your sexuality!!! ;-)

Not only has Wentworth repeatedly gone on record as saying that he is NOT gay. But his friend and co-star, Dominic Purcell has gone on record in an Austrailian radio interview as well. Stating that “Wentworth is not gay!”

At #92 Whoah there!

Yes, IMO, it is hating on him. Anytime anyone chooses to spread lies about someone, IMO, they are so wasted on the haterade, it’s ridiculous.

As for the “deviant” comment, I don’t know how old you are but I didn’t officially call it that. Psychology books call it deviant and yes, I’m cool with that. You call me “Homophobic,” I’m cool with that, too. I’ll be that, because name calling really stopped meaning something to me in elementary school, especially when it’s not true.

You don’t know me and I’m veryokay with that, but if you did, you’d know that I’m the type of person that doesn’t give a $#!t about what people think of me save those closests to me. I’m a very cordial, classy, young woman. I don’t like disharmony. I’m a big advocate of peace, but I really hate injustice with a passion. I think people spreading lies about others is a huge injustice. I don’t care who it is. just cannot stomach liars. So yeah, I would hope that Wentworth would be happy to have someone like me as a fan and even a friend.

I don’t do the name calling thing, but I tell you what you can do for me, you can kiss my a$$. That’s what you can do. :)

i am following brothers and sisters here in the philippines. he is a good actor and everyone should accept him that way. looking into his career that’s a brave thing to do. we hope he shall find his happiness and peace.

SweetyKat and Brown-eyed girl!

And what’s the deal with Mark Liddell? He had a brief relationship with Wentworth in last January before he met Luke. It’s an open secret in Hollywood.
BTW I don’t care Wentworth’s sexual orientation because I like him, but the fact is : he is gay.

@kieron

If you really like Wentworth you wouldn’t be posting baseless rumors on this board. I think he probably wishes he didn’t have fans like you. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I adore Luke. He’s a cutie and his character on B&S is awesome. I’m not surprised he’s gay though. I assumed he was. Good for him for coming out publically.

I find it doubtful that it’s an open secret in Hollywood that Went is gay. He would not be so stupid as to repeatedly say he likes women. Plus some of his castmates have also stated he’s straight when asked about it, and even laughed about the question.

On an ET Canada interview (June 2006) when asked if he has time to see anyone special, and Went said he’d like to have a wife and kids down the line. There was no need for him to even say that. He could have said, “I hope to find someone special, but right now, work is my priority.” He volunteered the wife and kids info.

fangurls are in action…lol

I adore Luke on B&S he`s such a cutie.
i`m proud of him that he comes out.
i also like Wentworth Miller and i don`t understand the discussion about him being gay or not.i love him as an actor and i think he`s a nice person.
and it doesn`t matter if he is or not.
thats only his business.

Good for McFarlane to come out.

About Wentworth. OK, I’m a woman , I like this actor very much and I would prefer him not being gay. I also think that going for a cup of coffee with a gay person doesn’t make you gay,
BUT I have a question: If Wentworth is straight as he says, then WHERE ARE HIS WOMEN??????

I mean, I would expect to see him caught by paparazis kissing a woman , or hanging out with women. We saw him at Emmy’s 2006 with a woman and then with Amie Bice in 2007 just once, and all that in almost two years time. I find it kind of strange….
Plus, he hasn’t mentioned any long relationship from past. He’s 36 years old.

@kieron,

That Mark Liddell rumor is obviously that, A RUMOR started by none other than gays!!! Everyone knows that gay guys just love to start rumors. It’s sad that people like you believe in that BULLSHIT!!!

@Kieron

To add to Cee Cee’s comment. If your going to be posting blind gossip on this site, as though it were fact. Then you should get all of your “facts” straight. In post #98, you have Wentworth in a relationship with this Mark Lidell since last January. How could that be when according to P.H, Went has been dating Luke since that time. Are we to believe that Went was seeing both men at the same time. If so then I guess not only is Went gay, but he’s a **** as well.

@Soretoe(comment #103)

Wentworth in interviews has stated that he is not interested in hanging out in any of the Hollywood hotspots. Stating that the clubs and what not are really not his scene. Chances are that the reason he has not been seen on dates is because when his schedule permits, the dates he goes on are in out of the way places. Or at least places not usually frequented by other celebrities. Just a theory.

NY DAILY
Which hit show that has everyone guessing about its closeted male star also has a female co-star who plays for the home team?

any guess???

LOL
Fans are so blind!

Is it Grey’s Anatomy???

LMAO …….that goes better and better LOL

So, anymore “guess”, “theories” or “facts” ?? for us stupid, delusional and blind fans huh…….NEXT???? :-)

oh and anymore “rumours”????

Wentworth Miller could be gay or not gay, who cares?

I have no idea if he is or isnt. I do know a few things, being friends with a gay person does not make you gay.

I also know that saying you are not gay, is not the same thing as actually NOT being gay.

So to everyone who keeps saying that he said he isn’t gay so he must not be… Lets be honest, that isn’t necessarily true. I’m not saying it’s a lie either. Who knows other than Went and the people he is shagging.

IF WM was gay and he “came out” it could potentially hurt his career. Could hurt Prison Break. It’s sad but it’s true. So there is the potential motivation behind keeping a gay lifestyle secret.

Either way, gay or straight, it’s really none of anyones business and there is nothing wrong with him being private about who he dates, man or woman.

@Amber #111

‘I also know that saying you are not gay, is not the same thing as actually NOT being gay.’

The point is that we have no good reason to doubt his word. You can never be 100 per cent certain about anyones sexual orientation but we don’t go around accusing people of lying about it all the time. Why should we doubt Wentworth when there’s absolutely no reason to.

The rumours are just rumours. There’s nothing to back them up.

go scotty! its about time a cute gay guy comes out in LA…..there are too many posing as straight.

HE IS A GREAT ACTOR, and very cute . :P
