Matt Bomer - Matt Bomer Is Gay: White Collar Star Comes Out

People Magazine reports that Bomer was at the Humanitarian Awards at the weekend to pick up the New Generation Arts and Activism Award, having been a noted activist in the campaign against Hiv/Aids , and it was during his acceptance speech that he elected to come out, paying tribute to his partner Simon Halls and their three adopted children. "I'd really especially like to thank my beautiful family: Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry," said Bomer, adding "Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment."

Back in 2010 Bomer had played down any heresy about his sexuality, commenting "I don't care about [rumors] at all. I'm completely happy and fulfilled in my personal life." 'White Collar' is now just two weeks from its third season finale on February 28th 2012, with the series already having been renewed for a fourth last August.
