Big Bang Theory Jim Parsons reveals he is gay

Jim Parsons has officially revealed that he is gay.

The Big Bang Theory star also said that he is in a ten-year relationship in a New York Times profile piece on him to promote his new Broadway show.

Parsons is starring in the play Harvey about a man and his invisible friend, who is a six-foot-tall rabbit named Harvey.

However, the profile also touched on Parsons’s previous play The Normal Heart, where he played a gay activist.

“The Normal Heart resonated with him on a few levels – Mr. Parsons is gay and in a ten-year relationship, and working with an ensemble again on-stage was like nourishment, he said,” wrote author Patrick Healy.

Last year, Parsons said that The Big Bang Theory changed his life.

“I feel very fortunate to have locked in consistent work as an actor, and obviously that works on so many different levels,” he explained.

“It’s been really rewarding to spend the last few years without the hatchet over my head of, ‘Oh my God! What’s next for me? What on Earth am I going to do to pay the rent now?'”
