Heroes Thomas Dekker baselessly accuses Bryan Fuller of outing him

[mochi]

Thomas Dekker is an actor from the show heroes

 

and he just came out as gay, which is fine

 

but he did it by accusing Bryan Fuller of outing him.....Bryan Fuller did no such thing

 

Bryan Fuller mentioned the writing he did for heroes in an award acceptance speech, and mentioned he had written a gay character in the show Heroes but that the actor in question who was set to play the character threatened to quit the show if they didn't rewrite his character and make him straight

 

he never mentioned who it was and he never said the actor was Gay

 

but then Thom Dekker came out confirming that the character was his character and that he was gay, claiming that vaguely mentioning that some unspecified  actor forced him to "hetwash" a gay character was somehow outing him

 

if anything Bryan Fuller was calling him a homophobe

 

which he obviously is (whether he's gay or not)

 

his objections seem to imply he believes his character on heroes was real, since his argument is "If I play a fictional gay character then everyone will think I really am gay!"
