A project for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender history month inadvertently outed oscar winning actor Kevin Spacey. The LGBT website, a Department of Education learning resource funded by the British Government, names Kevin alongside Tennessee Williams, oscar Wilde and other well known gays in the arts. “It’s a complete mistake,” says the LGBT organiser. “We’d love to be able to explain how it happened, but we can’t. We deeply apologise for the distress we’ve caused. It’s the sort of thing we’re totally against, and stupidly, we’ve ended up doing it ourselves.” The `American Beauty’ star has always been dogged with rumours about his sexuality, which peaked in 2004 when he was mugged at night in a London park frequented by gay men.
