Magic Mike and White Collar star Matt Bomer revealed he was gay in 2012 while thanking his longtime partner, publicist Simon Halls, and their three children when he was honored by the Desert AIDS Fund.

He told E! News: “What we really have to do is stop the adjective before the job title — whether it’s ‘black actor,’ a ‘gay actor’ or anything actor. Everybody thinks that equality comes from identifying people, and that’s not where equality comes from. Equality comes from treating everybody the same regardless of who they are. I hope the media and the press catch on to that because it’s time to move out of 1992.”
