Zachary Quinto: "I love ****s!"
...this comes after he supposedly made ****-shaming remarks last year.
Quote:
In Attitude’s special edition Red Issue to mark World AIDS Day, Hollywood superstar Zachary Quinto speaks frankly about life, love and sexual health, and denies that comments he made last year about pre-exposure prophylaxis drugs (PrEP) were an attempt to ‘****-shame’ those who take them as a preventative measure against HIV.
Back in August Quinto told OUT Magazine he thought that “Today’s generation sees [HIV] more as something to live with and something to be much less fearful of. And that comes with a sense of, dare I say, laziness.”
“We need to be really vigilant and open about the fact that these drugs are not to be taken to increase our ability to have recreational sex,” he said, adding they indicated an “incredible underlying irresponsibility.”
The Star Trek actor – who was accused by some of exhibiting ‘internalised homophobia’ with his remarks – tells Attitude he meant that individuals had “matter of responsibility to oneself and to one’s community”.
“If people are talking about it and having conversations, that’s awesome”, he says.
“Performing in [Tony Kushner’s AIDS-themed play] Angels in America made me realise had I been born a few years earlier I would have been in the sweep of that epidemic, there’s no question about it.
“So maybe there’s a proximity alert that goes off for me. I’m not trying to say people shouldn’t take PrEP, or that people shouldn’t have sex, or that sex isn’t amazing. It is. I’m just saying we should support each other and be responsible, whatever that means to you.”
The 38-year-old goes on to say that gay men have a responsibility to take care of their sexual health “in honour of an entire generation of men who were lost”.
“Have as much sex as you want, and any way you want to have it, as long as you’re accountable to the person you’re engaging with.
“I don’t think, frankly, that’s a controversial thing to say.”
He adds: “People said something about ‘****-shaming’. I’m like, ‘Come on please, that’s absurd. I love ****s.'”
