I dont know why he doesnt come out, its not like he wont get action parts if hes gay, Ian Makellan still gets kick arse parts.
Ian McKellan is British. All British actors are assumed to be gay anyway, so he's not a fit analogy.
Tom could have come out if he had made the decision years ago. But he's spent so many years denying it and pushing his "church" and making other various speeches, that if he came out now he would probably be derided as the biggest hypocrite in history, and not work again for that reason, not for being gay.
Scientology would take a big hit too, and people like Travolta and whoever else would be running scared. The Church has a huge interest in keeping their secrets secret.
I'm just waiting for someone to go ahead and say "fuck the agreements" and publish a photo they have in their possession, it's bound to happen someday.
