Perception is an interesting and individual thing isn't it? I've never ever thought once that Bradley was covering for Colin because he's gay. I just think they both got sick of their relationship being misconstrued by fans, and pushed as something different by the shows producers (and yes they are not besties anymore have not been for some time really, but just because Colin is not part of Arthur and his "knights gang or anything of the sort does not mean, to me that he is a closeted gay man.  Bradley has addressed it - not in the last interviews, but in a tweet - its somewhere on the web, and Colin has said repeatedly that its there if you are looking for it, even in Barney!) It would be great if they addressed it head-on.  However, look at the likes of Hugh Jackman and his wife, he's been putting up with rumours and accusations for 17 YEARS! But I don't think they will, any agent or publicist worth their salt would be advising them not to engage. (its sort of like don't feed the trolls, you just don't go there)  Even if they came out and denied it, then fans are just going to call them liars and go back to believing what they would like. But it does cross a line, I would love it if either of them could go out in public with a girlfriend or just female friend without fandom scrambling over themselves calling the girl everything from beard to hag (and analysing body language to support their case). Brolin well and truly does not exist
