Jesse Tyler Ferguson Came Out After he got Caught Stealing Gay Porn In a recent sit-down with People and Entertainment Weekly, the Modern Family actor described how he came out to his parents. Ferguson was a freshman in high school when security caught him shoplifting gay porn from a book store in New Mexico. My mom and dad saw the nature of the material I was stealing, and that’s how I came out. I find it funny now, but at the time it was incredibly traumatizing. Ironically, my father still had a hard time catching up. I snuck some straight porn in there too, so that threw him off just enough. Ferguson said that his dad eventually got the message and he "danced at my wedding very happily."
