Despite the fact that we’ve seen more and more stars come out in the last 10 years, Hollywood‘s closets remain uncomfortably crowded due to the not-so-irrational fear of losing jobs, disloyal fans, and plummeting relevance.īut I refuse to accept the “sexuality is private” lie any longer, and I refuse to accept Hardy’s outrage at being asked about his sexuality, especially under the guise of privacy. Maybe-just maybe-even though marriage equality has finally come to every state in our fair nation and beloved sitcoms are being boldly rebooted with gay characters, we haven’t really come as far as we think we have and queerness is still seen as shameful-and therefore damaging-especially to a male action star like Hardy, whose masculinity serves as his meal ticket.Īnd I get it.

Perhaps the homophobia that historically had people-especially celebrities-employing statements like “no comment” and “that’s private” hasn’t disappeared as nearly or as neatly as we’d like to think or hope. By claiming otherwise, you’re saying that there is something about how a person identifies-and who they choose to love and/or sleep with-that should remain secret.īut why would that be? If there’s nothing wrong with being anything other that heterosexual-as most people and I’m sure Hardy himself would claim-what exactly are we keeping private? And, again, why?īecause even though, sure, everyone should be “entitled to the right to privacy” regarding certain aspects of their lives, sexual orientation shouldn’t be considered private. What we do with our sexuality may be private (and even then, if I had my way, we’d all be a lot more open and honest about how and when we have sex, too), but our sexual orientation shouldn’t be. Our sexuality is merely a part of who we are-like the color of our eyes or our height. Why? Because even though, sure, everyone should be “entitled to the right to privacy” regarding certain aspects of their lives, sexual orientation shouldn’t be considered private. While watching variations of “Tom’s right! It’s nobody’s business!” and “That’s private!” flood comment fields, tweets and Facebook statuses, I sighed and thought to myself: “Really? Are we really still defending-and celebrating!-the idea that sexual orientation is akin to some deep dark secret to be discussed after dark behind closed doors in hushed tones with only our most trusted confidantes?”Īpparently we are.

I don’t know you! Why would I share that with a billion people?”Īs if Hardy’s hypocritically self-righteous stance wasn’t disappointing enough, when I saw how quickly my social media feeds were filling up with giddy praise for his comments-in many cases giddy praise from queer people-I grew even queasier. I don’t want to discuss my private life with you.

Hardy conceded that what the reporter “had to talk about was actually interesting, but how he did it was so inelegant” and noted that what the reporter “and his publication stands for, none of that is offensive, and on the contrary, it’s very admirable, and an important issue.” However, he also emphasized: “I’m not a role model for anyone, and you’re asking me something about my private life in a room full of people. Hardy, who plays a queer character in Legend (which means the question about his sexuality actually could have something to do with what he does and/or draws on as an actor), explained that he’d be fine with a friend asking about his sexuality but noted, “To put a man on the spot in a room full of people designed purely for a salacious reaction? To be quite frank, it’s rude.”
