Ой, я от неожиданности даже не знаю теперь в какой раздел сию новость вставить. Это не шутка.
Буквально вчера во многих правдивых источниках появилось интервью с Дэйвидом, в котором он поясняет что он гей. По его словам, он не признавался в этом до сих пор частично из карьерных соображений (включая тот факт что он много работал для студии Диснея, озвучивая мультфильмы).
И отчасти, как говорит он (в заметке ниже) потому что он слишком зациклился над проблемами общества и дискриминации против гомосексуалистов даже в современном, более свободном мире, и " внутренне работал над собой и этими проблемами, хотя может быть и продолжал использовать их как причину (скрывать свою ориентацию)"
Вот коротенькая заметка на английском, суть я передала выше. А про Дисней говорилось в тв-репортаже.
In the twilight of his career, "M*A*S*H" actor David Ogden Stiers has finally come out, saying he's no longer afraid to be gay.

Stiers came out on the Gossip Boy blog. He mentioned that he dared not speak about being gay, as he feared that he would lose some of the assignments he had been getting.

Ogden Stiers joined the cast of "M*A*S*H" in 1977 as the arrogant but charming aristocrat Charles Emerson Winchester III. In addition to starring in the sitcom, he voiced the characters of a number of Disney movies, including Cogsworth in "Beauty and the Beast" and the Archdeacon in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."
The actor said he kept his homosexuality under wraps for years because he feared coming out would hurt his career. But being that he has not experienced any anti-gay discrimination in the movie industry recently, Ogden Stiers is reconsidering what exactly made him stay in the closet for so long.
"I haven't witnessed such things occurring in a long, long time," he said about anti-gay discrimination, adding that his personal concerns may have clouded his views. "I should say in regards to this that many of my fears were in modern times self-invented. I've been working internally on whether they were the problem, or if I just continued using them as an excuse."
