The actor, producer and activist is the new chair of GLSEN, and this is the story of why I promised him two months ago I would not reveal this. Plus a brief look at the news!
Because while Wilson was eager to announce his role as board chair, the new PR flack for the organization was not. They kept a lid on this for almost 2 months after he let it slip. And I don't know this for a fact but I suspect it was because the flack was shopping the story around to a major outlet, and it took them until July 26 for Variety to take the bait. As much as Wilson loves me, it wasn't his choice, and I abided by his wishes.
Why was it a secret?

I wasn’t impugning Wilson’s (or anyone’s) motives! I was just curious.
