Out actor Zachary Quinto says “a
couple” of closeted gay stars have asked him for advice.
“I just share my experience and say,
'This is how it went down for me, this is how I feel,'” Quinto told
UK glossy Attitude.
“I tell them, 'Trust that even if it
means you're not as famous, or even if it means it's not exactly what
you thought it would be, it's still more valuable when you're
assessing your life at the end of that,'” he added.
Quinto, who appears on the cover of
Attitude's “Red Issue,” which coincides with World AIDS
Day (December 1), also said that the yearly event was “utterly
essential.”
World AIDS Day is “utterly essential
… Not just in marking the advancement, progress and fight against
the disease, but also cultivating knowledge and awareness of it for
people all over the world,” said Quinto, who will reprise his role
as Commander Spock in next year's Star Trek Beyond.
