Snazzy, yes he is, and you are accurate about mccormack, good info u brought up...
as for the actors and actresses working in a GBLT, there are PLENTY who are gay/les/bi who just basically do not come out for not just reprecusions, BUT for the fear of reglious and job status even if we are not being discrimnated its all about the image. Sucks isn't it.
Similar idea about the Deaf.
