Jim Parsons, who plays super-nerd Sheldon on the CBS hit “The Big Bang Theory,” came out as gay in a most low-key way last year.
As far as he’s concerned the reaction to his revelation was pretty low-key too — and that’s a good thing.

Parsons appears in Out magazine for its Out 100 list — the actor was named Entertainer of the Year — and discussed the public response to his coming out. Or, rather, the lack of response.
“It didn’t think it was still that much hoopla, and that was really kind of rewarding,” Parsons told the magazine.
