Major Winchester comes out

M*A*S*H star and Disney voice David Ogden Stiers recently confirmed what many probably already knew: he's gay.

In a March interview with the blog Gossip-Boy.com, the 66-year-old actor known for his turn as Major Winchester explains he's never fully opened up about his sexual orientation because of professional reasons.

"One is that I enjoy working, and even though many have this idealistic belief that the entertainment industry and studios like Walt Disney are gay friendly; for the most part they are, but that doesn't mean for them that business does not come first. ... From the late 1980s until about seven or eight years ago, you would find certain individuals coming up to you, me, and advocating the position that since we were doing family fare that it would be best were the actors to maintain a certain palatability to parents."
