Paul Iacono the star of MTV’s The Hard Life of RJ Berger (Whose season cliffhanger just happened to feature a storyline in which RJ’s arch nemesis Max, a popular jock and bully was discovered to be a closet case by RJ) has this week come out of the closet himself.

Said Iacono:

“I think at the moment, we need to have gay pride, because there are so many people who don’t feel as comfortable as I do. “it’s taken me a very long time to get to be comfortable about it, but it’s our duty to the community to step forward and be vocal. I’m gay, it’s cool.”

It is Paul. Cool, very cool indeed!
