when did anthony geary come out as gay

Anthony Geary has never publicly given a clear “I am gay and I’m coming out” statement with a specific date in a major, easily verifiable interview, so there is no solid, widely recognized “coming out” date on record.

What is publicly known?

• For many years, his sexuality was mostly the subject of rumors and fan speculation rather than confirmed public statements.

• Some online articles and Q&A–style pieces now claim he “came out as gay” in a 2017 New York Times interview, but those pieces do not reproduce or clearly verify that interview text, so the exact wording and timing cannot be confidently confirmed.

• In recent years, fans and soap press have openly referred to him as gay and mentioned his husband Claudio, noting that they met decades ago and later married, which indicates that he is at least openly living as a gay man in his personal life now.

So, when did he “come out”?

Because:

• there is no clearly documented, widely cited “coming out” moment with a precise date, and
• what exists are secondary write‑ups and fan/forum reactions rather than a primary, fully quoted interview,

any exact date you see online (for example, “he came out in 2017”) should be treated as unverified rather than hard fact.

In other words, the safest accurate answer is:

• He appears to be openly gay today and publicly acknowledged as such (including references to a husband),
• but there is no reliably documented, specific date when Anthony Geary formally “came out as gay” in the way the question implies.
