Cool if he is gay. The hottest dudes tend to be gay. Homophobes are so ignorant.

I don't care if Elijah's gay or not; I think he's a cutie too. However, what bothers me the most if he is gay, is that he (and other actors) feel that they need to hide their sexual orientation for whatever reason (fear, to milk the heart-throb appeal, whatever). Lij seems like he has too much integrity to milk the heart-throb appeal thing, but understandably he might be worried about hate crimes and a fan backlash when his career is only really getting started. That sucks if he has to feel that way. :( IMO young gay entertainers out there need some positive role models--Ian McKellan from LOTR comes to mind--who can be themselves and be gay without worrying about what others think or how it will hurt their careers or what not. Some people like Tom Cruise and Richard Gere might take out full-page ads in magazines and forge lawsuits against others about their purported gayness, but they just be stupid, and just as ignorant (and probably as homophobic) as the ignorant a__holes who bash gays. If Elijah comes out when he feels older, more grounded and more secure in himself and his career, I say all the power to him. :)

...not to mention the tiny little detail of sex being, uh, a private thing in any person's life...maybe Lij would rather just keep it that way. ;-)
