[edit] Gay or not?

There seems to be some controversy about this. I can't find an answer, but I've found an article (Lesbians, bisexuals, gay men and transgendered people) that cites two publications with differing beliefs:

Yet, at the same time, famous lesbigays are still frightened of, or extremely cautious about, coming out - for example, according to Terry Sanderson [1999]:
“... there was the case of James Dreyfus [sic]*, who is ... making a tidy living out of playing the Nancy, firstly as PC Goodie in The Thin Blue Line and, more recently, in Gimme, Gimme, Gimme on BBC2. Over at Elle magazine, he was described as ‘the straight-in-real-life actor’. Could it possibly be the same James Dreyfus who gave a coming-out interview a week earlier in the Pink Paper? ...” (p59).

* Not sure what this 'sic' is for.

Perhaps we should delete the statement until we can cite some evidence one way or another. Grant 22:29, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

James Dreyfus is as gay as Sean Hayes: just neither will admit it. No explicit statements exists for either, though most of their work has been playing gay men. Dev920 18:43, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
