Thank you for coming out, Matt Damon.

“But in terms of actors, I think you’re a better actor the less people know about you period. And sexuality is a huge part of that. Whether you’re straight or gay, people shouldn’t know anything about your sexuality because that’s one of the mysteries that you should be able to play.”

Bolding mine

Yeah, the minute you get married you're kind of tipping your hat on your sexuality (except in the case of those who are bi), so how about this: let's stop caring about the sexuality of the actor and just see whether they played the role they were hired to play well?

It doesn't matter whether Jim Parsons or Neil Patrick Harris or Zachary Quinto are gay and playing straight men (or half-human-half-Vulcans), or whether Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal are straight and playing gay men, they played those roles well and that's all that matters in the end, not their real life sexuality.

And I think it's a really naive statement to make that the less the public knows about actors the better. Celebrity culture is a thing, people want to know about celebrities' real lives, to just tell celebrities to be more private shows some profound ignorance about the nature and culture of "celebrity."
