ABC’s World News Nowanchor Dan Kloeffler revealed he’s gay while reporting on actor Zachary Quinto’s decision to come out over the weekend.
Kloeffler says he’d ignore his rule about not dating actors if Quinto is single. Kloeffer later wrote a blog post about his admission on the ABC News website:
“Kind of a big moment for me while filling in on World News Now, which is by far the most fun you can legally have at 3:00 in the morning! Yunji de Nies and I were talking about celebrity headlines, when I read the story about Zachary Quinto, who played Spock in Star Trek, coming out as gay in a magazine interview. Because WNN is a show where you can offer some personality, I had a little fun with the story saying that I would drop my rule against dating actors.
“I’ve never shared that I’m gay on-air, even though I’ve been out to my family, friends and co-workers for years. In fact, an old boyfriend — now best friend — has always given me a hard time about not doing so. But for the same reason that Zach decided to come out, I too, no longer wanted to hide this part of my life.

Cool, very cool.
I saw this from a mile away. Do you remember that interview with the New York Times a year ago where he was asked point blank if he was gayand Zach just replied that he preferred not to talk about his sex life. That’s a dodge if i’ve ever seen one
