Zachary had long refused to comment about his sexuality but when the interview wheeled on legalizing gay marriages and the suicide of a bullied gay teen Jamey Rodemeyer, the actor was quoted saying "Where's this disparity coming from, and why can't we as a culture and society dig deeper to examine that? We're terrified of facing ourselves."
