Will & Grace star Sean Hayes came out to his family when he was 18. He thinks entertainment is helpful for people who don’t know how to tell their families. He told People: “If you don’t have the words to explain it to your family, you can say, ‘Like Will and Grace,’ or ‘Like Ellen DeGeneres,’ or whoever’s out in a public…

He added, “There are so many more examples now to help people and give them tools to communicate to kids and to families that being gay is as normal as being straight.” He also joked that gay people are not any more interesting than straight people.
