Now I know this will shock you

[dsc]

but Adam Ruggiero, the guy who played Marco on Degrassi, is gay.

He came out in late January. I know this is a shock. Come sit a spell so you don't faint.

Seriously, good for him to be open plus the show was good for gays too.

1. i certainly feel a little light headed.

of course some DUers will tell you that's a chronic condition for me -- it's a lie.

2. I actually tracked down the interview

and feel a little bad for the flippant way I posted.

Here is the link.

4. That interview really made me think

It really must have been quite difficult to be in his position I am glad he came out and also that he didn't go the route of so many teen stars.

5. it's very difficult -- it's about their way of making a living.

forget about the public -- think about casting agents -- they have to decide not to pigeon hole -- or any one in his position -- for work.
it's very courageous to come out.

6. alot to have on his shoulders at such a young age

I honestly get nervous at work from time to time and there it is only maybe a thousand people total. He is out to literally millions. Good for him though.

7. indeed it is a lot -- and that's why it's good to let others know -- as you have done. nt
