Why do people care? I mean if a celeb announced that they were straight would it make any headlines?

Maybe him and Mr. Sulu should get together sometime.
Seriously though, why is this newsworthy? If a person is gay, then they're gay, it really shouldn't be a big deal. No one cares if a person is straight, so why should they care if they're gay?

Not to mention that being straight is considered the naturalistic route people take in their lives. Nobody would have to "announce it" since it's implied. As for Quinto coming out, it certainly wont change my opinion of the person or the actor. I hold no prejudice against gay people. He did great as Spock in the 2009 Star Trek.

And famous people do announce being straight in their own way.. It's called marriage.

It doesn't change anything imo but congrats to him.
For people who didn't click the link here is why he said he revealed his orientation:
Quinto posted a new blog on his website Sunday morning to discuss why he decided to come out as a gay man.
"When I found out that Jamey Rodemeyer killed himself -- I felt deeply troubled," Quinto writes. "But when I found out that Jamey Rodemeyer had made an 'It Gets Better' video only months before taking his own life -- I felt indescribable despair."
Quinto, who also made an "It Gets Better" video (see below), says Rodemeyer's death made him decide to speak up in public.
"In light of Jamey's death -- it became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it -- is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality. Our society needs to recognize the unstoppable momentum toward unequivocal civil equality for every gay lesbian bisexual and transgendered citizen of this country."
He continues, "I believe in the power of intention to change the landscape of our society -- and it is my intention to live an authentic life of compassion and integrity and action."

No one cares if a person is straight, so why should they care if they're gay? this sums up my thoughts on this too. Quintos Spock was excellent.I wish JJ would get his finger out of his ass and give us a sequel.
