Kate Winslet says she knows gay actors who fear coming out will destroy their careers

There are gay actors in Hollywood who fear coming out will derail their careers, according toKate Winslet.

Now that’s fed up," Winslet said in a new interview withThe Times' Culturemagazine.

“I’m telling you.

I wouldn’t publicize that.'

I can think of at least four actors absolutely hiding their sexuality,” she continued.

“It’s painful.

Because they fear being found out.

And that’s what they say.

‘I don’t want to be found out.'”

Winslet added that from her perspective, the stigma applies to “men more than anything.

It’s bad news.”

“A conversation about straight actors in gay roles is incredibly important,” Winslet said.

In taking this part, I had an opportunity to bring an LGBTQ story into living rooms."
