Speaking of one such instance, the Marry Me star opened up about the pros and cons of coming out as gay in Hollywood at the union’s Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity Town Hall meeting in Los Angeles.
Bucatinsky, who was a keynote speaker at the event, discussed his own misgivings about coming out professionally and how he finally made the decision to take the big step.
"Coming out of the closet is a bitch; and awesome; and awful. And well OK, for some it’s harder than others, depending on where we’re from and how we were brought up," he stated [via Deadline].
In his lengthy speech, the actor added, "Regardless, the tiny three-word phrase ‘I am gay’ feels almost nuclear in its power."
Bucatinsky also felt that one could choose to stay in the closet if that is working for them authentically so that nobody can tell them who they must be or to whom.
All in all — the actor implied that coming out as gay in Hollywood, especially in the 90s, was a very scary thing, as people tried to abuse and ignore them. On the other hand, coming out as gay or orientation of one's choice helped an individual to create their own identity.
