Actor DJ Qualls Comes Out as Gay at 41

\u201cIt is 11:20pm. I just came out on stage at a @jimjefferies show in San Diego. Yep, I\u2019m gay. Been gay this whole time. Tired of worrying about what people would think of me. Tired of worrying about what it would do to my career.\u201d

\u201c@TheOnlyDJQualls I waited until I\u2019d left home and moved to LA to come out, but when I did, one of my new friends immediately called me on the phone and said, \u201chey man, I just want you to know, I really believe this is going to be one of the best years of your life.\u201d He was 100% right\u201d

\u201c@TheOnlyDJQualls @jimjefferies Dude, awesome that you finally got to put down that burden. Sorry that the world is so messed up that you felt it necessary to shoulder it in the first place.\n\nFWIW, a lot of people will be happy for you no matter what, as long as you are uniquely you.\u201d
