Reeves said his public acknowledgement of his sexual orientation, often referred to as "coming out of the closet," was first reported early this week by In News, a newspaper about the local gay community.
"It is important to have courage and integrity and not be involved in hypocrisy when it comes to your sexuality," Reeves said last night.
Although Reeves said he has been open in the community about his sexuality, many audience members said were surprised about Reeves' public coming out.
"I don't think I've been a hypocrite for the past 25 years and I know I wasn't," Reeves said.
Reeves said his being gay "is not new" but that he did not plan on coming out publicly Friday until he realized his award was for "friends outside the [gay] community."
