Winslet: I’m gonna out homophobia

Kate Winslet is setting her sights on exposing homophobia in Hollywood.

The Academy Award-winning actress revealed in a new U.K. interview that there are several well-known actors who are afraid to publicly reveal their sexuality because they are “terrified” of how coming out will impact their careers.

Speaking to The Sunday Times magazine, the “Titanic” star said a climate of “fear” still weighs heavily on some LGBT actors and said she knows “at least four actors” who are afraid of no longer being cast in lead roles should they publicly embrace their sexuality.

“I cannot tell you the number of young actors I know – some wellknown, some starting out – who are terrified their sexuality will be revealed ...,” Winslet shared.
