Just a shade over a decade since his initial portrayal of the outrageously gay icon Jack McFarland on NBC’s “Will & Grace,” actor Sean Hayes has finally decided to come out of the closet about his homosexuality. In an interview with The Advocate, Sean expressed a lot of resentment toward the gay community for pressuring him to come out earlier in his career saying, “What more do you want me to do? Do you want me to stand on a float? And then what? It’s never enough.”

Look, I completely respect other people’s privacy, but once you’ve gotten the part and seven consecutive Emmy nominations and a win with your first nomination, you’re no longer auditioning. You’ve got the part. Time to be proud of who you are. And if you just so happen to be typecast… is that such an awful thing? Even if I were straight, I’d rather be the “go-to” person for playing gay than not have a fucking job… ya know, like 10% of America right now.

So the answer to the question of what more do I want, Sean, is that I want every gay kid growing up in the world right now to have a role-model to look up to. And what better role-model is there than a proud gay man playing a proud gay man on national television?
