Guess what: Neil Patrick Harris isn't the only openly gay actor on TV (!). There are many, many out actors, anchors, and hosts on the small screen right now, when you step back and take a look. The very long list includes Don Lemon, Ellen DeGeneres, Denis O'Hare, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jane Lynch, John Barrowman, Cynthia Nixon, John Benjamin Hickey, Linda Hunt, Chris Colfer, Cherry Jones, Tim Gunn, Sara Gilbert, Cheyenne Jackson, Graham Norton, and Rachel Maddow.

In the movies? Not so much. Check out my story on why it's easier to be an out performer on TV. It's here.
