Is michael urie gay
Featuring "Ugly Betty" celebrity Michael Urie and his real-life companion Ryan Spahn, the reading will be held June 2 at 7:30 PM at The Greenhouse Theater. AFT skilled director Andrew Volkoff will direct.
"The Last Sunday In June is a fascinating glance back at how much has changed in the LGBTQ landscape over the past ten years," press notes express. "It's the last Sunday in June 2003, the daytime of the annual Gay Pride Pride through New York's Greenwich Village. Tom and Michael, his partner of seven years, intend to spend the time planning their impending move from the Big Apple to the upstate town of Nyack, but their plans are rerouted as one friend after another drops by to view the march from the window of their Christopher Street apartment. An afternoon originally designated for things home instead turns into a series of conversations about relationships, self-acceptance and the very meaning of what it is to be homosexual, eventually calling into question Tom and Michael's relationship itself."
The line-up of readings, performances and extraordinary events celebrating the LGBTQIA experience will continue throughout June.

Netflix’s gay rom-com has Urie as the can’t-get-a-boyfriend single who finds Mr. Right on a Christmas visit home.
“Single” began with a hiccup for the star best known for gay roles on “Ugly Betty,” “Younger” and his punch solo stage act as Barbra Streisand’s assistant in “Buyer and Cellar.”
For “Single,” Urie, 41, was asked to dispatch a self-tape audition. “Interestingly, it was for the role of the spicy, hunky, handyman. I was like, is that really me?
“I said, ‘There’s this other role, Peter, who is adorable, gregarious and neurotic.’ I thought, that’s probably me. So I said, ‘Before I make this tape for the hunk, do we want to just see if they would be interested in me for the role of Peter?’ ”
A few days later he was offered the job.
Making a gay holiday classic begins, Urie said, “with one part Jennifer Coolidge,” who is even more flamboyant than usual.
“You need a lot of tinsel,” he continued, “and you need a cast of clowns — and we have all that. There is not a single person in this production who isn’t humorous. Everyone in our movie is somebody who can pl

The 30th Critics Choice Awards took place on February 7 in Los Angeles and Shrinking‘s Michael Urie and Hacks‘Hannah Einbinder won trophies for Foremost Supporting Actor and Actress in a Comedy Series.
The duo took the stage at the same second as winners for their categories were announced advocate to back. Urie and Einbinder did a bit where they simultaneously started their acceptance speeches and then they met at an impasse and said “Trans Lives Matter” at the same time.
Urie took his solo speech opportunity to thank his sister for coming with him to the ceremony. “We’re from Texas. She is a shrink herself. She’s my first therapist… we’re also both queer,” he said before quipping: “I’m sorry for outing you – as a therapist!”
He continued “Our parents, who are watching at residence, were amazing… and when we came out as queer… they figured out how to love us and they adapted.

Einbinder used her speech to handle another pressing subject. “We are on t
