News Tuesday: Come out, come out, wherever you are

In last Tuesday’s blog, it was revealed that a US mag has been outing celebrities it considers to be living in the ‘glass closet’ i.e. stars who are gay and don’t hide it but haven’t actually announced the fact.
Now it seems the media has swapped the stick for the carrot and is trying to cajole closeted celebs to out themselves.

According to 247gay.com, New York graphic design shop Mr. Wonderful recently announced that it created, shot, edited and finished three breaking public service announcement for Out in TV & Film, a non-profit organisation that encourages gay and lesbians in the entertainment industry - from grips to A-List stars – to come out of the closet, and provides the support for them when they do.

US celebrities starring in the clips, including a US Big Brother contestant and an Emmy award winning writer, will talk about coming out and urging others to do the same.
