The colorful queer world of serial stars
In series, viewers often encounter worlds in which they can empathize completely. They root for their favorite characters and grieve when they leave. The actors often have little in common with their roles. For example, a schizophrenic serial killer may be a loving family man in real life, or a true gentleman and womanizer may be gay in real life.
There are some queer actors in the colorful world of series. In today's society, coming out doesn't have to mean the end of one's career, although many people are still afraid of this.
Many actors openly admit their homosexuality and lead a carefree life. Because: they no longer have to hide. Some of them are more successful than ever and provide their fan community with couple pics, updates, etc. on social networks.
National and international gay series stars
More and more people are streaming and "binging" series on the relevant streaming platforms. American productions are particularly popular, but more and more German series are now being offered that have what it takes to captivate and inspire for the long term.
Through these series, actors receive additional attention and can increase their name recognition.
For some, by the way, this is also exactly the reason to come out publicly now. Some actors here nevertheless have great respect for having to go through what happened to Rupert Everett. The once best friend of Madonna confessed in 1989 to be homosexual. From then on, he almost only got roles as the best friend of female main characters.
The following series stars have long left the hiding game behind and live their lives as outed homosexuals.
Series star No. 1: Sean Hayes
The younger generation may have little or no recollection of Sean Hayes. The actor enjoyed great success in the 90s with the series "Will & Grace". In the series, he took on the role of the quirky yet loving homosexual Jack. Many may have guessed during the broadcast of the series that the actor himself is also gay. However, it was not yet openly expressed at that time.
It was not until four years after the filming of the last season that Sean Hayes openly admitted his homosexuality. He said at the time that he was ashamed of his late coming out and that he wished he had admitted his sexuality much earlier. He has been happily married to his husband since 2014.
Series star No. 2: Mark Waschke
Mark Waschke gained attention and notoriety through the streaming series "Dark". This engagement opened the door for him to further roles in German series. For several years, he can also be seen as Chief Inspector Robert Karow in "Tatort.
He lives openly as a homosexual and does not hide in any way. On the contrary! Mark Waschke was the first Tatort chief inspector who kissed another man. What was a shock for many, caused joy among those who actively advocate for LGBTQ rights.
Series star No. 3: Wentworth Miller
Wentworth Miller is known to many series fans. The actor has already landed several roles and is a well-known face in the industry. He has appeared in "Buffy", "Emergency Room", "Prison Break" and "Dr. House", among others. He has also appeared in music videos by Mariah Carey.
The actor only came out at the age of 41. That's how long he kept his homosexuality a secret, and it almost killed him. Miller didn't want to continue living hidden like this and tried to kill himself. Only after his outing he feels liberated and he is sure that only his coming out saved his life.
