"Housewives" Star Desperately Uncomfortable

Posted Dec 4th 2006 2:20PM by TMZ Staff

Shawn Pyform Shawn Pyfrom plays Marcia Cross' homosexual son on "Desperate Housewives," but the hetero hunk wasn't having a gay ol' time on Sunday at The Trevor Project's Cracked Xmas event, which benefits gay and questioning teens.

Pyfrom, who introduced a musical performance by Lucy Lawless, received endless cheers and catcalls from the predominantly gay audience, which made the 20-year-old actor visibly uncomfortable.

Other celebs in attendance included newly out and proud stars Neil Patrick Harris and "Grey's Anatomy's" doc, T.R. Knight. Roseanne Barr received a Lifetime Achievment Award for her work in support of gay rights, and had a message for all youth who might be questioning their sexual orientation: "Stop worrying about yourselves for being gay and start worrying for me because I'm old...and fat!"

2. Argh...
You're right to be uncomfortable...people will always remember you for BEING gay, not PLAYING gay. Time to get a new agent...Argh!
Also, you might want to reconsider making appearances at Gay events...not that there's anything wrong with it!

3. ButtPirate, tell that to Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, who were nominated or won about every prestigious award over the last year for their gay roles. Get your uneducated head out of the 19th century. Kudos for the young generation of hot actors embracing gay role and identity. This kid was not uncomfortable. After all, he knew was going to a gay event beforehand. Stop making up news.

7. #2 Javier
I have a question for you...why is it that only "young' and "hot"actors are worthy of your kudos? What about old, fat ugly guys who happen to be gay? Don't we get any consideration?
Where's the love, Jaiver?
Where's the love for us?

10. OK, TMZ, I think Butthead Pirate needs to be disciplined for hate speech on your forum. His posting is unabashedly vulgar and contains hate speech. Where is the forum monitor?

11. Hey number #4 come out of the closet already! Everyone knows the people who hate gays are just insecure with thier own sexuality! Free yourself clown!

Posted at 4:28PM on Dec 4th 2006 by Free yourself!

12. The more you get angry the more he'll act up.

13. Why is it when the "gay mafia" gets riled up they ALWAYS question the sexuality of those around them who DARE to point out that faggotery is just plain wrong?
If being gay is so great, why do you "happy boys" try to put down "stright" people by wishing we were "gay like you"?
What about old, fat, ugly and poor homos? Is there room under the Big old gay tent for them? In other words, if your not living in "Fagafornia" working as a "stylist" do you fellas like welcome the unattractive who like getting plowed?
Are bears allowed at the gay pride picnic?

14. Why do you call yourselfs "gay" when you all seem so sad and unhappy?
Is it because the taste of mansauce makes you bitter?

Posted at 6:35PM on Dec 4th 2006 by Why, fairy godmother...WHY??

15. As far as closet go are we talking about #3 or #4? I think you mean #3????
I wish you guys wouldn't use the numbers, they change!!!! Use the handles. they don't change. Anyway I agree with rather.., Javier.. and OKOK

And I'm not gay. But sometime I wish I was. The more the merrier. By the way "Smoke.." it's called gaydar and they have detected you. OMG!!! Smoke is gay and he doesn't even know it!!!
