Reports surfaced on Queerty last week that scores of party-goers had seen actors Shane West and Ashton Holmes locking lips at a GQ event. But on Monday, through their publicists, both guys are denying that they are gay.
Says Holmes' publicist: "It's absolutely absurd." West's spokesperson said the entire thing "is laughable. There is absolutely no truth to this story."
Queerty posted today that the denials don't explain the emails sent to the website of eye witness accounts that the actors had a quick but passionate kiss and then a few pecks directly after. It was clear they tried to make it as brief as possible, but that they didn't want to stop, the website stated Monday.
I don't have much commentary except to say if these two are gay and don't want to be outed, they've got to be more reserved at public events! If they are gay, I wish them the best in their coming out process and hope they know that neither Neil Patrick Harris or T.R. Knight have suffered career setbacks as a result of coming out. I think they have more fans than ever.
