He's officially, publicly out!

[sleeper6]

I think we all know that Van Hansis is gay, but he's never explicitly confirmed it publicly (as far as I know) until now.

Read the The Fight interview.

Good for him!

I think he was Out but as LAME as it sounds TPTB at ATWT hushed it up which sucks but that's nice that he is Finally OUT good for him.

How are you feeling sweetie?

[sleeper6]

Yeah, he was since he's got a hot boyfriend and all but I meant publicly (just edited my entry). I think he'd hinted but never stated it (even though his association with Eastsiders practically confirmed it). It is good that he's not hiding it anymore.

Eh, I got good days and bad days.

Hot Boyfriend Yeh just a LITTLE LOL :)

Yeh It was the unwritten rule/thing I mean we all knew it we just didn't have the official word from him but now we do

Aww well hopes your having more good than bad days

<3 <3

Now maybe he'll be comfortable enough to step out publicly with his boyfriend. :)

Thanks!

I'm glad Van finally is in a place where being out is less significant than the roles and projects he's participating in.

Thank you for sharing this interview here.

I hope you're feeling well. I've been thinking about you. *Hugs*

[sleeper6]

Me too. Happy for him.

And you're welcome!

Thanks, I'm hanging in there, living day by day. :)

I saw that "article" and just skimmed it (because hello, now they're doing their own interviews in order to get publicity? Lame), so I totally missed that part. Good for him. :) Must be a relief not hiding anymore.

I would hazard a guess it's more of Kit wanting the Money and Van going along with it since he is the most well known Face on the show though I guess Kit could argue with that.

But people who have backed/pledged it got an email on the weekend asking us to spread the word to others as they have only just gotten over the 50,000 Mark and they still have a fair bit of money left to go IF they want the project to be funded

[moerlin]

Yeah, and I'm sure Van will get a shoutout or two when the time comes to back Ms Guidance. Though honestly, this month-long non-stop "Back our Kickstarter"-posting on various channels is having exactly the opposite of the intended effect on me. Especially since they made it sound like Season 2 happening is a sure thing from the beginning.

We'll see how well the last two weeks go for them. Usually, there's a surge at the very end when people who weren't sure/are waiting for their paychecks/what-have-you jump on the bandwagon, but it depends on how big a gap there is between pledges-to-date and their goal, I guess.

[sleeper6]

Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do to succeed, that's how I see it.

I'm happy for him. He shouldn't have to hide who he is.

Nice interview. Thanks for posting!

1. I don't think the network would've liked it if he came out.
2. I think Van must've responded to the questions in writing because we know he doesn't speak that well in interviews!

I'm glad he's getting some press.

[sleeper6]

You're welcome!

Aww, he really doesn't but I still like hearing him speak random nonsense. Ha ha

Any press is good press.
