Jane Lynch Talks Early Struggles With Her Sexuality, Reveals She Felt Like She Had a Disease
Jane Lynch is sharing her experience of growing up gay in the new web series It Got Better.
The emotional videos feature lesbian, gay, bi-curious and transgender (LGBT) celebrities sharing their journeys of accepting their sexual orientation to let others grasp it does get better.
Lynch grew up in Dolton, Ill., a suburb of Chicago, and says she was considered different from a very young age.
"It was almost like I had a disease I had been diagnosed. I had a journal and … I remember I wrote, 'I am same-sex attracted. No one can ever know this.' And I went four blocks away and threw it out in somebody else's garbage," she says. "It led to a life of secrecy that I had to unravel," the actress and comedienne admits.
"I identified more with boy things. I enjoyed dressing enjoy a boy," she says. "The boys stopped wanting to play with me when I got to be about 10 and I had to combat to play baseball."
She knew something was going on. But it wasn't until she was 14 that she realized she was a lesbian.

“Ididn’thave a coming out moment,” Jane Lynch said matter-of-factly when I spoke with her. The openly woman loving woman actress had her vast career breakthrough at the age of 50, in her role as cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester in “Glee,” for which she won an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe.
“I’m an actor and when people started taking an interest in me, where they wanted to write about me, I didn’t say I wasn’t gay, so — I never had that,” she continued in interview with me on SiriusXM Progress. “And I have to give kudos to people like Melissa Etheridge and k.d lang and Ellen Degeneres and Rosie O’Donnell, all of those people who came before and at the height of their career, when they had a lot to lose, stood up and said this is who I am. And the world kind of went [gasps]…and then, nothing happened. That was really amazing and they kind of cleared a path for me to just stroll down.”
Lynch stars this fall in a modern CBS comedy series, “Angel from Hell,” but she’s currently making the media rounds promoting the third season of NBC’s “Hollywood Game Night,” which debuted this week and which she hosts. The game show pits celebrities against one another, playing party games and winning mon
Glee Actress Jane Lynch Reveals She Once Thought To Be Gay Was A Fate Worse Than Death
Glee actress Jane Lynch has admitted she thought organism gay was a fate worse than death, and says that she led a life of secrecy prior to coming out.
In the first episode of new web series It Got Better, Lynch says she always identified with male activities as a child and reveals that once she figured out she was lesbian, she hid it from her Chicago friends and family.
‘I identified with boys things. I had to struggle to play baseball,’ she says, and once the boys stopped letting her play around the age of 10, she would persistently hang around the sidelines until they eventually let her join the game.
After a discussion with her friends about ‘gay for each other’ men made Lynch realise she herself was gay, she says she wrote ‘I’m gay’ in her journal, then threw the notebook in a trash can four blocks away. ‘To be thought of as different and not approved was a fate worse than death,’ she says. ‘So, I had to make some really large decisions about how I was going to leave forth in life and who I was going to tell something to. It also led to a life of secrecy that I had to unravel.’

Jane Lynch -- My Male lover Marriage Is Over
Jane Lynch is pulling the plug on her marriage to wife Dr. Lara Embry ... just 3 years after tying the knot in Massachusetts, where homosexual marriage is legal.
Lynch just released a statement to People.com saying, "Lara and I have decided to end our marriage. This has been a hard decision for us as we care very deeply about one another."
The 52-year-old "Glee" star met 44-year-old Embry back in 2009 at a fundraiser in San Francisco ... and they married in 2010.
Lynch and Embry are California residents and a California court will almost certainly dissolve the marriage, even though gay marriages are not legal in California. The State recognizes marriages from places where same-sex attracted marriage is legal.
Now ... California is a group property state, which means unless there's a prenup, Lynch and Embry would split all assets acquired during the marriage 50/50. Although Embry's no slouch, Lynch has made a bundle on "Glee" and other projects.
Sources connected with the former couple inform TMZ ... they don't have a prenup.
