" James Franco coming out is probably inevitable"

James Franco Sidesteps Questions About His Sexuality

As far as I can tell, James Franco coming out is probably inevitable, but his rep has other ideas. The New York Daily News is reportingthat following the premiere of his new documentary “Saturday Night” the writer of gay short stories and maker of gay films dodged some questions about his sexuality.

Let the rumor mills roll: James Franco dodged some dicey questions at a panel discussion following Sunday’s Tribeca Film Fest premiere of his doc, “Saturday Night.”

“One of the guests asked James a few things that alluded to his sexuality,” says a panel-goer, explaining that the line of questioning was in regards to Franco’s on-camera kiss with Will Forte on “SNL.” “Franco’s rep stopped him from answering, and the crowd got really uncomfortable.”

Another of Franco’s movies, HOWL, was also recently selected to open L.A.’s OutFest, the area’s LGBT film festival.

You know, I’ve gotten a few emails from readers who complain that I’m trying to out Franco. The fact is, I’m not. I think the when an artist with a history of gay roles who makes his own gay movies and writes short story characters who wonder, “Don’t you ever get jealous of those girls in pornos that get to be on their knees in the middle of all those dicks?” then I’m not the one doing the outing.
