The Arrow actor fires back
The Real O'Nealsstar Noah Galvin is apologizing for the controversial remarks he made in a recent interview discussing Hollywood's treatment of gay characters and actors, in which Galvin slammed Eric Stonestreet, Colton Haynes and Bryan Singer.
"The entire interview I gave to Vulture has hurt the LGBTQ community and the industry I feel truly fortunate to be a part of," Galvin wrote in a note on Twitter. "My only intention was to try and empower and promote honesty, but I fully understand that the comments I made were brazen and hurtful."
Galvin directly apologized to to Haynes for criticizing the Arrow actor's decision to come out as gay in an emotionally-revealing interview as "f--king p---y bullsh--."
"To Colton Haynes and to the LGBTQ youth, especially those who have embraced our show, I have no right to dictate how or when anybody comes out of the closet; I know how difficult and scary the process of coming out can be, and the last thing I would ever want to do is make it scarier," Galvin wrote.

Galvin also issued an apology to Bryan Singer for presenting accusations that the director habitually molests underage boys as fact. (All charges against Singer in a related lawsuit were dropped.) Galvin has since requested Vulture delete the comments he made about Singer and apologized for making light of the allegations.
