No, Kevin Spacey. You don't get to use your sexuality as a distraction from sexual assault.

You just threw the gay community under the bus.

Nope to Kevin Spacey's statement. Nope. There's no amount of drunk or closeted that excuses or explains away assaulting a 14-year-old child.

Just to make it clear. If you dare to defend Kevin Spacey please block me. I want nothing to do with enablers

Call me old-fashioned, but isn't Kevin Spacey making sexual advances on a child a bigger story than his coming out as gay?

Wait A Second:

Did Kevin Spacey kinda admit to the sexual assault, then come out as gay, making it seem like he's the victim here??

F**k you Kevin Spacey. Nice work in playing into the homophobes’ playbook - equating being gay with an interest in 14 year olds. Sick f**k.

Kevin Spacey is going full House of Cards trying to change the narrative from him assaulting an underage boy to him coming out as gay.

I knew Kevin Spacey was Frank Underwood. Shocked to hear that he's also Frank Underagewood. That's my time thank you very much.

Fitting Kevin Spacey's hit show is called "House of Cards". Pretty much explains everything about him and the Democrat Party he supports...

Good morning to everyone except Kevin Spacey, who has managed to conflate homosexuality with paedophilia.

I’m waking up in the middle of the night to people not focusing on Kevin Spacey molesting a child but instead making it about his sexuality. His sexuality has nothing to do with his molestation and media must understand this!

Dear Kevin Spacey, I don't think declaring that you're gay works as a way to excuse sexual assault on a minor.

Kevin Spacey....no, absolutely not. The fact you are a gay man has nothing to do with the FACT you are a predator and a bully #enough

The thing that really burns me about Kevin Spacey's statement is he almost makes it seem like being gay is a sickness, not sexual assault.

Hey Kevin Spacey: What does "I choose now to live as a Gay man" mean? It's not a choice. Making sexual advances on teenagers, however, is.
