Rupert Everett famously said in 2010 that after coming out he "never had another job for ten years". Similarly, actor Richard Chamberlain once said he wouldn't advise a leading man type to come out lest he lose out on parts.Alternatively, they could stay in the closet and play whoever they liked, as long as they pretended to be straight in the public eye.Jane has said she didn't particularly have a coming out, but she has equally never denied being gay either.

Of appearing as a lesbian dog trainer in Best in Show in 2000, Jane told The Daily Beast that it didn't even cross her mind whether people would think she was gay in real life.The actor began appearing as the often aggressively straight Sue in Glee in 2009, and married her girlfriend Lara Embry a year later.

In 2010, Jane told Outfest that her coming out "happened so naturally and I didn't hide anything." She also commented that, "I play straight people all the time, I think I'm an actor first before I'm a gay person."Back in 2015, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was lauded for its groundbreaking casting of Vincent as Josh, a straight bro-type who plays the romantic lead in the series.

Nico Lang of Salon wrote that the fact that Josh is written and played without the "faintest hint of irony [is a] stunning rebuke to the long-standing belief that queer actors simply cannot play straight."Vincent actually married his husband Gregory Wright in the same year that The CW comedy-drama began airing, and played the character until the series end.
