Dear Mr. Spacey,
Considering your recent sexual assault allegations, I am disappointed that you would choose now as the time to publicly announce that you are a gay man. Being gay is something that many people struggle with and I don’t want to diminish the value of your own personal journey in any way however, using this as a tactic to change the conversation is harmful to more than just your own reputation, it harms the reputation of all LGBTQ members and reinforces negative stereotypes about gay culture being sex-driven and that gay men are predators themselves. The media has quickly wrapped its hands around this story and the attention has spread to even the most casual of your fans and especially to your haters. It also spreads to those who seek to harm the LGBTQ community. Now we unfortunately have to look for positive examples of gay people in the media to overshadow your own issues. It is unfortunate to be welcomed into the LGBTQ community with this backlash, but that is a christening that every gay person has had to go through, so you will fit in. That said, it’s going to be a bumpy ride for redemption. #Thanks4Now E. L. Grahamwood
