Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross is set to reveal she is a real-life lesbian by posing for a gay mag.

The sexy redhead - stuffy Bree Van De Kamp in the hit show - will join the likes of Cynthia Nixon and Ellen DeGeneres by coming out.


Marcia, 43, is believed to be in a long-term relationship with a brunette from another top US show.

And she will pose on the cover of US mag, The Advocate, to confirm her sexuality.

The Sun quotes a show insider as saying: "Everyone on the show is aware of Marcia's leanings, as is the rest of Hollywood.

"She hasn't made a secret of it. Some of the other housewives were worried the news might hurt the ratings. But creator Marc Cherry is gay and very supportive of her decision."

It comes just as her screen son Andrew, played by Shawn Pyfrom, is outed as gay. Bree fears her uptight nature 'contributed' to him being homosexual.

Everyone is gay.

Apparently this report stemmed from a post on some message board (forget which) from someone claiming to be from ABC. This is how THE SUN does their investigative journalism.

I have no idea if Marcia is actually gay, but I do know that her scary, plastic, over-Botoxed face is truly a sight to behold. What a great crazy person's mask.

Cynthia Nixon is gay?????

She revealed (or it was revealed)late last year that she has been in a relationship with another woman for about a year. When she was asked she said something like, 'I'm happy now and I'd like to keep my relationship private'. This all came after she left her husband of so many years. I say more power to her...she's an intelligent woman and knows what she is doing and who she is!

'Housewives' Star Denies Lesbian Rumors

Wed Feb 9, 7:02 PM ET Entertainment - AP Gossip/Celebrity



NEW YORK - Marcia Cross (news) is making it clear that while she's no desperate housewife, she's not gay, either. The "Desperate Housewives" star said she wasn't a lesbian after "The View" co-host Barbara Walters questioned her Wednesday on rumors regarding her sexuality.



"I'm not," said Cross.


She wondered how the rumors had gotten started.


"Well, it was very odd," said Cross. "And I, I just assumed this is what comes of being 42 and single. I don't know if they just needed to find a reason why I wasn't married."


Cross' publicist had earlier released a statement denying the reports.


The actress was filling in for "The View" co-host Meredith Vieira. Each day, a different star from "Desperate Housewives" has been a guest host on the ABC daytime talk show while it airs from Los Angeles.


Cross said she didn't know what all the fuss was about.


"I do think it was really weird, though, that there was all this curiosity about something, like that — about sexuality," she said. "And I thought what a world we live in that that's so important."
