I haven’t been this un-surprised since Clay Aiken came out in People.

Confirming pretty much to anyone who’s ever seen Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss or Will & Grace who isn’t headless, Sean Hayes coyly addresses the issue of his orientation in the latest edition of The Advocate.

Hayes was probably one of the first of a growing number of actors who don’t try to play straight for the public, choosing instead to go solo to the events such as the both the Emmy’s and Golden Globe Awards.

While it’s absolutely no one’s business but his own to be sure, why would you agree to be interviewed by a gay magazine when your clearly uncomfortable addressing the subject in the first place? 

However, Hayes has a new role on Broadway to promote, so he probably decided to suck it up and agreed to speak to The Advocate.  The interview itself is sort of unremarkable but will probably serve as a good example to journalism students of getting a slightly hostile subject to open up.  Sort of.
