Matt Bomer
When Matt Bomer of White Collar worked on Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, he told OUT that it was a makeup artist that helped inspire him to come out. He wrote a letter to his religious parents, who then refused to talk to him for half a year. Bomer said, “I would say within a matter of years we started to figure it out. It was a struggle…I’m here to tell people it can get better. Because I had so many people in my life saying, ‘You need to get rid of all expectations — you need to cut them out.’ But I was like, ‘They’re my family.'” Then in 2012 during an acceptance speech, he thanked his partner, Simon Halls.
