Out Magazine - Matt Bomer  
The Out magazine article is up on their website along with new photos. I haven't had a chance to read the article yet, but I will update this post if there needs to be any warnings.

ETA: No warnings necessary, but I will share these bits of the interview:

That test — of what, exactly, Hollywood wants to offer a chiseled-jawed, classically trained, out gay actor — is rapidly approaching. White Collar ends this fall. “It will be a tough hat to hang up,” Bomer says, but it will also free him from a New York commute that made him feel at times “like a hamster on a wheel.”

It will certainly be hard to watch him hang that hat too. :'(

And he’d like to get back to writing a book “that’s been festering for a while.”

A book?! I need more details, Out. Like what kind and a synopsis, please. Also, he co-wrote a pilot several years ago called Nashville that I have not been able to track down, but he does have some writing chops. I'm curious to see what the book is about... and if he'll do the audiobook version himself.

There are a lot of other quotable parts about his marriage to Simon, being a father, growing up in Spring, coming out during drama school, and many more. It's definitely a great article.

Great article, thanks so much for posting. I wondered how his family felt about his coming out, and I really loved what he had to say about being a father. He's just such an amazing, talented and grounded man who deserves all the best.

You're welcome. I had wondered about his family too. I'm glad that they're supportive now - it must have been really hard for him to come out to them.

I love when he talks about being a father. Those boys are so, so lucky to have Matt as a dad, and I'm happy that they get to grow up with him and Simon as these wonderful guiding forces that they seem to be.
