Interviewed by Steve Rothaus, gsfla,
Richard Chamberlain elaborated on his decision to come out
and expressed his availability to talk to any group, gay or straight,
about homosexuality and the cultural ignorance underlying this topic.
Exclusive Interview (Los Angeles, September 7, 2011)
Richard Chamberlain granted an exclusive interview to this
"Richard Chamberlain Webbiography" and talked about
his career, his painting, his singing and his writing.
Richard Chamberlain's advice to leading man-type actors not to come out unleashed a tsunami of passionate reactions by gay right activists who encourage ALL gay people to come out, and a wave of more moderate and more realistic comments by gay and straight persons alike who consider that coming out for an Hollywood actor may mean the end
of a career, as Rupert Everett had admitted was his case in Hollywood on BBC's Radio 4.
Media from Australia, Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Italy,
the Czech Republic, Spain, the United Kingdom and Turkey relayed, in the majority of cases in a low key mode, Richard Chamberlain's comments and the reactions.
Richard Chamberlain was interviewed by substitute News Anchor,
Nathalie Morales, on his latest projects: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,
Strength and Honor and Desperate Housewives.
