2008 Tony winner Paulo Szot is out and proud!
It's so nice that one a day when something crummy happens like Heinz wimping out and pulling a commercial because about 200 people don't like the gay kiss in it, that I can read that the handsome and talented actor Paulo Szot is an out and proud gay man.

AfterElton.com reports: There had been some speculation about Szot (who was rumored to be openly gay in his native Brazil, where he is a celebrated opera singer), but not much was known about him in the States before he took the stage in Pacific. And of course the sight of him and sound of his pipes set tongues wagging and Internet speculation afire the day after the Awards. We contacted his publicist and were told that yes, he is gay, and we're welcome to say as much.
