Ugly Betty's Justin Suarez comes out

Justin & Austin We already saw him kiss a boy, but this week we were treated to his disclosure — first to grown-up gay friend Marc St. James and then to the rest of his family.

Sadly the show is at the end of its days. A more-than-disappointing 3rd season spelled poor ratings and Ugly Betty has been cancelled. The worst part of all of this is that, post-cancellation, Ugly Betty’s writers and actors started churning out the awesome.

Season 4 has been stellar and those of us who stuck with the show inexplicably throughout season 3 are now devastated to see the end of the stories and characters who have come so far in the last year.

I can’t stop raving about the coming out plot. From the day Justin declared that he wasn’t gay, I was enthralled. No good coming out story can go smoothly, and while Justin isn’t dealing with a judgemental family, he still has the same worries we all had.

For a young actor, Mark Indelicato has done an incredible job portraying Justin’s story, and his Justin Suarez and Michael Urie‘s Marc St. James have become two of the most popular characters as their friendship has developed.

If you haven’t been watching, do yourself a favour and get the season 4 DVD box set when it comes out.

  2. [...] — I was delighted to see Ugly Betty’s penultimate episode feature Justin coming out to his (desperately trying to look serious) friend Marc St. James and then to his entire (very accepting) family. It’s a testament to how far the world has [...]
