Last week, Noah Galvin <\/strong>found himself in the middle of a firestorm due to an interview he gave to New York Magazine<\/em> on their website, Vulture<\/em>.\u00a0 Before going any further, I suppose I should tell you who Noah Galvin is.\u00a0 He’s the star of The Real O’Neals<\/em><\/strong> – a show most of you aren’t watching, if ratings mean anything.\u00a0 On the show, Noah plays a 16-year-old gay boy.\u00a0 In real life, Galvin is an openly gay actor – although, he’s not 16, he’s 22 (which means this show should have been on FOX<\/em>, where high school students are typically played by actors who are members of AARP<\/em>).\u00a0 Galvin’s interview was titled, “Noah Galvin has nothing to hide”.\u00a0 He was so outspoken, Vanity Fair<\/em> wrote an article called, “Real O’Neals <\/em>star Noah Galvin Is Refreshingly Candid About Being Gay In Hollywood”.\u00a0 Alas, most others took Noah to task.\u00a0 Within hours, he refuted virtually each of his inflammatory statements.\u00a0 “The entire interview I gave to Vulture <\/em>has hurt the LGBTQ community and the industry I feel truly fortunate to be a part of.\u00a0 I apologize to everyone that I’ve hurt with my comments, and understand the damage that has been done.”\u00a0 While I’m sure he was pressured to backpedal, I’m sad that he gave in.<\/p>\n

Some of his comments were certainly ungracious.\u00a0 When talking about young gay kids reaching out to him, he says, “I’m still figuring out my own bullshit.\u00a0 I’ve got struggles of my own.\u00a0 I don’t have time to be your fucking soothsayer.”\u00a0 There was a telling story about a guest star hitting on him.\u00a0 “At one point I turned to him and was like, ‘Are you gay?’\u00a0 And he was like, ‘Well…I don’t know.\u00a0 I’m more like, go with the flow.’\u00a0 And I was like, ‘Shut the fuck up.\u00a0 Get out of my face with your wishy-washy bullshit answer.\u00a0 You’re a fucking faggot.\u00a0 Like, I know you are.\u00a0 You know you are.\u00a0 Stop beating around the bush.\u00a0 Just go make out with me in my dressing room.'”<\/p>\n

Romance may not be his forte.\u00a0 “My dating life is already pretty shitty because I look like a 12-year-old.\u00a0 Being on TV just adds another level of difficulty to the dating thing.\u00a0 First of all, I’m gay, and that’s just hard because gays are naturally a promiscuous collective of people.\u00a0 So there’s the lack of monogamy and then there’s me looking like a 12-year-old.\u00a0 And then there’s being in LA, where half of the men are closeted and the other half are just dumb.”\u00a0 I must congratulate Noah on being so bitter at 22; that didn’t happen to me until my 40s!\u00a0 And yet, he also admits to dating two people – one who is 24 and the other who is 38.\u00a0 At least he has the wherewithal to realize one thing: “I’m slightly capitalizing on the fact that I’m on a TV show, to a certain extent.\u00a0 Using my slight fame to be with sexier people that I normally could be if I wasn’t on a TV show.”<\/p>\n

What ruffled the most feathers were his statements about the recently out Colton Haynes<\/strong>. \u00a0“That’s not coming out.\u00a0 He didn’t actually say he was gay.\u00a0 That’s fucking pussy bullshit.\u00a0 That’s like, ‘Enough people assume that I sleep with men, so I’m just going to slightly confirm the fact that I’ve sucked a dick or two.’\u00a0 That’s not doing anything for the little gays, but giving them more masturbation material.”\u00a0 It’s an ironic comment from someone who last month Tweeted <\/em>Colton’s coming out article and said, “Lezgo bro.\u00a0 Prouda you” – whatever that means.\u00a0 Haynes wasted no time in addressing these new comments: “I’ve never met this kid, so for him to judge me without even meeting & having no idea the struggles I’ve been through or where I come from is absolutely uncalled for and quite frankly embarrassing on his part.\u00a0 Since when is a three pg article in Entertainment Weekly <\/em>not an appropriate way to come out?\u00a0 And since when did he become the judge of what’s appropriate?\u00a0 Shouldn’t we all be supporting each other?\u00a0 Enjoy all your success.\u00a0 You’re young kid…\u00a0 Hopefully you’ll learn a thing or two.\u00a0 Good luck.\u00a0 I’m sure I’ll seeya around – Colton Pussy Haynes.”\u00a0 Am I the only one troubled that a 27-year old is calling a 22-year old “kid”?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
