Why Lee Pace’s Evolving Sexuality Stance Is So Important

I'll be honest: it's been hard for me to process my feelings about Lee Pace's coming out saga. As a journalist, I haven't been capable to get a bead on it for weeks. His process of emergence, then partial retraction, and minimization of his sexuality bewildered me at many turns, partly because I identified with his process.

I grew up worshipping movies and the actors in them. I haunted my local video store (yes, those were still around) to the point that full-time clerks would set together personal collections on artists I liked. The internet was still emerging at that point, so I would try to get an idea of who they were from the Entertainment Tonight-like gossip shows.

But at the matching time, I grew up in Santa Barbara, California — a haven for celebrities hoping for some semblance of privacy. I think many American towns known for something usually have some sort of etiquette about their massive identifier. Most of the people I knew and grew up with were raised to be polite to the celebrities and respect their privacy — but as a trade-off, they weren't allowed to pull rank around town, either. They ha

For the record, I really dig The Hobbit movies. Sure, they’re a bit bloated because they borrowed so heavily from The Silmarillion, but they’re still pretty entertaining, even if you could improve each installment by trimming a good 30 minutes from each. Anyway, one of the highlights from the trilogy has been Lee Pace as Thranduil, who is EVERYTHING (and who inspired some great stuff from Gingerhaze). And now, it turns out Pace may have just been outed by Ian McKellen. Via Queerty …

The subtle slip came during an interview with Brash.de, a German website that asked several questions regarding McKellan’s sexuality and the difference in being an out actor in 2001 (when the first Lord of the Rings film was released) and now.
The accompanying excerpt has been translated via Google translate, so we’re prone to trust this may just be a technical error (any German speakers here?):
Brash: Still, there is hardly colleagues who follow your example, right?
Ian McKellen: I would say that has been done in this regard in the last ten years in the industry a lot. Just see only how many openly gay actors in the Hobbit with were: two of the dwar
Lee Pace - As Queer White Male I've Always Felt SAFE
Asked about his queer identity and playing queer roles, Pace says he’s never felt uncomfortable about it, despite reports to the contrary.
“I’ve always felt very safe, you know?” he explains. “I was in the drama department in high institution. I went to Julliard. I’ve been playing lgbtq+ characters. My first production I played a transitioned character.”
“I’ve never felt the danger of that, you know? So, to saunter in the shoes of someone who that threat is so real that he can’t utter it, it taught me something about myself and about my community… We’re not all so lucky to get the free transfer in life.”
Pace says it’s important for members of the LGBTQ community to be kinder to one another.
“As a community, we can be very unkind to each other,” he says. “It’s very judgmental to kind of stare at someone and [think] you oughta do it like this… there’s a more gentle way to be.”

Is Lee Pace Gay? Inside The Relationship With His Longtime Partner Matthew Foley
It is no longer news that Lee Pace is not straight. The American actor is sexually attracted to his gender. That alone would make anyone assert that he is gay but Pace does not like being labeled. More so, he once stated in an interview that he has dated both men and women. Based on that, one might not be untrue to assert that the Chickasha, Oklahoma native is bisexual.
People of this orientation are known to be physically and romantically attracted to both men and women. But then again, the actor hates being labeled and thinks it is intrusive for people to ask questions about his sexuality.
From theatre to film and television, Lee has had a rewarding career as an actor. He is admired and celebrated for playing Roman the Accuser in Guardian of the Galaxy and in Captain Marvel, the eccentric automaker John DeLorean in Driven, Thranduil the Elvenking in Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy, and the pie-maker Ned in ABCs dark comedy, Pushing Daisies.
The latter earned him his first Emmy Award nomination; that was in 2008. His phenomenal career has endeared him to moviegoers across the wo
