Chad Allen: There are still a lot of guys—I know them personally—some very famous who are even known to be gay or play gay characters, and yet they won’t come out. I just don’t get it. I know the journey can be tough. If you’re not in that place of feeling proud about who you are, then **** stay in the closet!
Chad ALlen: Until Brokeback Mountain there was a huge fear or belief that you couldn't tell a story with a gay hero and have it make money. A well-made movie with a good story trumps everything. It's not just a victory for gay rights; it's a victory for humanity.
Chad Allen: Long before I made the decision to come out and be an openly gay actor, I was told, 'Don't do it until it's good news.' I thought that was the most brilliant advice. Who I am is really good news today. I'm not afraid to share that.
