Emmy-winning Big Bang Theory actor Jim Parsons—so brilliant in The Normal Heart and currently plugging his turn on Broadway in a revival of Harvey—has officially come out in a New York Times profile. Commenters on my site have for a couple of years insisted he is already out based on information that they have about how open he is in private. However, being professionally out—on the record—is different (and better) than a glass closet. Great news, and he did it in a way similar to how Matt Bomer did it, organically and without any mincing of words.
