Fell asleep in a pool of tears and impulse-purchases of Whitney Houston songs, then woke up to an in-box full of exalted messages that actor Matt Bomer -- the dreamboat star of USA's "White Collar" -- had "come out" last night. A forwarded Facebook post read:
A coming out -- finally! At DAP's Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards, honoree Matt Bomer (White Collar) thanked his "beautiful family, (husband) Simon and kids (whose names I forgot because I was so excited about the Simon part!!!)." Yay, Matt! Thanks for being part of the solution... — atPalm Springs Convention Center.
Great news, indeed. I think I'd be more excited if I had realized Bomer wasn't "out" to begin with (are we sure about that?!). Guess it's my own fault for putting the married-to-a-man-with-kids hunk in the "out" column in the first place -- silly me. Welcome to the party, sir! Now let's hope this "soft" coming out doesn't portend a nasty breakup, like when Jodie Foster FINALLY thanked her 'beautiful Cydney" and then left her for another woman a few months later.

Matt Bomer Comes Out ... in Palm Springs (Where Better?!)

When he was a bit player, he was out. His contract for "White Collar" originally forbade him to talk about his family or being gay. I imagine he got that struck in the most recent negotiations, now that they're a hit...
He was certainly being coy about it in this interview from 2010:

Proud of him either way, but at this point he is in such demand, it is kind of moot to make a huge public announcement on something you can google the answer to. If you lived in LA or NYC he was never in, he just never said the words. He never once denied or bearded like so many actors currently do. Finally all of the "must be officially out peeps" have nothing to complain about this perfection that is called Matt. He has done tons of charity, gay and otherwise which I guess is the reseon he received this award so many past legends have received. He publicly now becomes our best entertainment role model and one half of hollywoods most powerful gay couple. Just hope he avoids the tacky People cover or putting his kids on display, would be beneath him.
I am kind of surprised this has not gotten any media coverage. I guess Ms. Huston's death has allowed it to slide under the radar. I cannot find any mention of it on the net
I think openly thanking his partner and kids makes him even hotter, if that's possible.
I'm really happy he's on the gay team.
A real man - in every way!! Wishing him and his family all the best!!
And, I'm delighted to have him on our team!
