Zachary Quinto In Out

It was just a few months ago when Zachary Quinto publicly came out, albeit in the most casual way ever, by prefacing his thoughts on working on Angels in America with "as a gay man" inside the pages of New York magazine. Now he's on the cover of OUT magazine for their 20th Anniversary issue. Inside, he shares his thoughts on what prompted him to professionally come out the way he did and talks more about his professional journey and struggles.

On the former, he remarked:

“One of the defining conversations that I had with myself was that absolutely no good can come from me staying quiet about [my sexuality]. Literally, no good can come from it. But if I take the step to make the acknowledgment and be honest, so much good could potentially come from it.”

The article also briefly mentions Quinto's relationship with actor Jonathan Groff (Glee, Spring Awakening) and while that was pretty much it in terms of talking about his current love life, he made sure to say how incredibly happy and lucky he was. Up next for Quinto is of course the Star Trek sequel coming out in 2013 where he'll reprise his role as Spock. A bit earlier, he'll be appearing in the second season of American Horror Story.
