Alan Cumming gives star power to bi-visibility

 

Alan Cumming, OBE is a Scottish actor, singer, writer and director, starring most recently in The Good Wife.

Cumming, who is one of the few out bisexual men in Hollywood, married to commercial illustrator Grant Shaffer, is also a long-time activist for equality and civil rights for the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community. And he is now lending his image and star power to the I Am Visible campaign to end biphobia and bi-erasure in the media and public sphere.

  2. Hi CoutureNeger,

    Yes, he's one of my all-time favourite actors as well! I still haven't seen The Good Wife, but I've put the box set on my xmas list, so cross your fingers for me ;)

  3. Dear TSB,

    I first noticed Mr. Cumming playing Bernard in "Bernard & the Genie," holding his own with two other marvelous actors, Lenny Henry and Rowan Atkinson. He is a wonderful talent and I'm thrilled he's out with such eloquence. Thanks for posting this.

    Much love,

    Toni
