Chris Colfer On Coming Out

Who doesn't love "Glee"'s Chris Colfer, especially since he's one of the youngest openly gay adults in Hollywood? When asked by The Advocate if he was out at his former high school in suburban California, Chris answered, "Oh, no. People are killed in my hometown for that." It wasn't until he was cast on "Glee," where he plays a gay kid named Kurt, that he says he really came out loud and proud.  Chris added, "It's extremely important for gay youth out there to see that it's actually OK and that they are being represented in these shows."
