Sex and the City's Willie Garson: Why I avoided talk about being straight in real life

“For years I didn’t talk about it because I found it to be offensive to gay people,” the Stanford Blatch actor tells Page Six. “People playing gay characters jumping up and down screaming that they’re not gay, like that would somehow be a bad thing if they were.” Garson adds: “When the question would come up during the show I would say, ‘When I was on White Collar no one ever asked me if I was a conman, and when I was on NYPD Blue, nobody ever asked me if I was a murderer. This is what we do for a living, portray people.'"
