Is Colman Domingo Gay?

Having played in plays and series with powerful gay protagonists and having breathed life into gay characters, Colman has been stuck with gay labels every now and then.

It is normal for questions to arise to actors in such situations because the topic of sexuality is very sensitive. The long-held question 'Is Colman Domingo Gay?' became a social stigma and garnered more attention and interest from the viewers. Colman, however, settled the debate once and for all after he confessed being a gay in an interview with Metro in 2013.

Moreover, he revealed the outpouring of support he received from friends and family once he came out of the closet, made him emotional. He said, in the interview with Metro: 

It’s an experience I’d like to add to the chorus...that these blue-collar, macho men, like my older brother, had the capacity to say: “I don’t care, I love you anyway.”

The Tony-nominated Broadway star was especially taken aback by the reaction of his ‘macho’ brother who would love him regardless. He further added that young boys should come out without hesitation and guilt since they could receive acceptance for being gay from other people like he did. In a general tone, he meant that people should be more accepting regarding sexuality and brave enough to accept one's own nature.

People close to him have known this about him for a long time, it seems. It can be easily understood so as to why his sexuality was kept hidden in the shadows for so long. But the continual support from his brother, friends, and family helped him garner the courage to come out as gay, for the first time in the media. It was not easy for him, but his family and friend made the stone a little less heavy to carry.
