Producer Ryan Murphy shares the dual covers of the May issue of OUT Magazine with
the lovely Portia de Rossi. Murphy is also listed at number 3 on OUT’s 50 most powerful LGBT Americans in this issue. Over the past decade LGBT characters have become a staple on primetime television. Ryan Murphy shares his thoughts on gay-inclusive television, the atmosphere in Hollywood toward gay characters & a bit of his private life. Murphy stated, “I don’t go into a project thinking I’m a groundbreaker or a pioneer. But all my work has a gay voice & gay characters & always will. I do feel with Glee, since it skews so young, the gay characters do transmit a certain message: You are not alone. You don’t have to harm or hate yourself. I wish I’d had this show growing up. I think if I had, I would be a lot less fearful & a lot braver.” Murphy’s mission of being gay-inclusive in his work was not an easy one to accomplish adding, “When I first started working in the entertainment industry, it was out of the question to have an authentically gay character on television. Now it’s like, if you don’t have a gay character, something is wrong with your show.” Murphy is currently working to impact his viewers emotionally & part of that comes from raising his new son, Logan stating, “That’s where I think The New Normal comes from. I want to provoke people emotionally. Sometimes I feel a bit prudish. With Logan in the house now, I feel like I need to cover up every Mapplethorpe print.” Read Full Story…
