“The Real O’Neals” star Noah Galvin has no patience for gay actors and closeted men in Hollywood.
In a recent interview with Vulture, the New York native star of ABC’s family sitcom rips L.A.’s gay community and it’s relationship to the entertainment industry.
“Yeah. Bryan Singer likes to invite little boys over to his pool and diddle them in the f—ing dark of night. [Laughs.] I want nothing to do with that,” he joked. “I think there are enough boys in L.A. … who are willing to do things with the right person who can get them in the door.”
He went on to explain that Los Angeles doesn’t have a “healthy gay community” in the way that New York does. According to Galvin, “half of the men are closeted and the other half are just dumb.”
Galvin also tore into actors like “Arrow” star Colton Haynes, who choose to stay closeted for professional reasons. He called Haynes’ sly coming out “f—ing p—y bulls–t.”
“That’s like, enough people a.ssume that I sleep with men, so I’m just going to slightly confirm the fact that I’ve sucked a d— or two,” he said after explaining that he felt an obligation to come out because of the role he plays on TV. “That’s not doing anything for the little gays but giving them more masturbation material.”
“I like to think it makes it that much more relatable,” Galvin said of his own public coming out. “And older people who watch the show are like, damn, I wish I had something like this on TV when I was younger to normalize my situation and make me not so self-hating.”
The downside is that since “The Real O’Neals” is his first starring television role, Galvin said he’s been pigeonholed by other people’s expectations of him as a young gay actor, missing out on roles because he’s “too gay.”
“Somebody who watches our show is maybe blinded by the fact that I play gay on this television show — I’m sure there are a thousand contributing factors,” he said. “it’s an interesting thing I’m learning to navigate and having to deal with for the first time.”

UPDATE:
ABC Threatens 'Real O'Neals' Star Over Gay Hollywood Rant
Openly gay actor Noah Galvin went off on Bryan Singer and 'Modern Family' star Eric Stonestreet, among others, in an interview that blindsided the network and could affect the future of the low-rated series.
Can a press interview gone bad kill a television show?
On June 9, Noah Galvin, the openly gay star of ABC's The Real O'Neals — a coming-of-age sitcom about a gay Chicago teen and his conservative family — gave a brutally frank interview to New York magazine's Vulture blog about Hollywood's "glass closet." In it, Galvin, 22, described another gay actor, Colton Haynes, as "the worst" and Haynes' recent coming out as "f—ing p*ssy bullshyt"; called Eric Stonestreet's Emmy-winning performance as a gay dad on Modern Family "a caricature of a caricature"; and, most controversially, targeted Bryan Singer with a comment about underaged boys that later was stricken from the story after the X-Men director's lawyers intervened.
Sources with knowledge of the events say ABC was blindsided by the interview, which was set up by Galvin's personal publicist, Maria Candida, as part of an Emmy push for the young star. (She declined comment.) Galvin quickly apologized for his "brazen and hurtful comments" on Twitter, but how all of this bad press affects the low-rated bubble series — which, after an "abusive" waiting period (Galvin's word), was renewed by the network May 12 — remains to be seen. As the controversy raged, the specter of a reduced episode order arose at ABC, according to one source. An executive producer who had spent four years getting the series on the air was "begging the network not to take action," says this source. (Reps for ABC declined comment on the situation.)
And this was not the first such incident involving the actor's behavior. Insiders say Galvin — a New York native who had only a couple of small acting credits before landing the starring role on Real O'Neals, which is based on sex columnist Dan Savage's childhood — has been warned multiple times about matters of "ego and entitlement." One show source says the set likely will be awkward when the cast returns to film season two later this summer: "He caused a grade-A shyt show. ABC screamed at him all afternoon."
