Hugh Jackman: Unhappy with telling America he’s not gay
”I’d be happy to go and deny it, because I’m not. But by denying it, I’m saying there is something shameful about it, and there isn’t anything shameful.The questions about sexuality I find more here in America than anywhere else, because it’s a big hang-up and defines what people think about themselves and others.”
