Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Chad Allen: There are still a lot of guys—I know them personally—some very famous who are even known to be gay or play gay characters, and yet they won't come out. I just don't get it. I know the journey can be tough. If you're not in that place of feeling proud about who you are, then **** stay in the closet!
-
Chad Allen: I don't know if it's as damaging on a public level, but I'm certain it's damaging on a personal level. I'm absolutely certain that forcing any young person or not-so-young person into dealing with the issue when they aren't ready to or simply don't want to is damaging to the soul. It's just not right.
-
Chad ALlen: Until Brokeback Mountain there was a huge fear or belief that you couldn't tell a story with a gay hero and have it make money. A well-made movie with a good story trumps everything. It's not just a victory for gay rights; it's a victory for humanity.
-
Chad Allen: (After a photo appeared in the news of Chad kissing another man) It kind of disappeared and I kept working and doing the show and nobody really said anything about it, and I just realized that wasn't what I wanted to do anymore, that I really did want to talk about it. So when I made the decision to come out on my own, it really wasn't in response at all to pictures being printed in the Globe. It was something I wanted to do with my life.
-
Chad Allen: Long before I made the decision to come out and be an openly gay actor, I was told, 'Don't do it until it's good news.' I thought that was the most brilliant advice. Who I am is really good news today. I'm not afraid to share that.
