Eric Stonestreet is probably one of the most treasured supporting cast on ABC’s sitcom Modern Family. He plays, Cameron Tucker the gay husband to Mitchell Pritchett, as portrayed by gay actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Eric Stonestreet is Not Gay.
On the contrary, the two-time Emmy Award actor has often described himself as openly straight despite playing a gay character. Some fans might even add that he looks gayer than his actual homosexual on-screen partner. However, that’s just been stereotypic.
The phrase, gay-for-pay has often come up between Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler in an amicable way. This is not something new as most heterosexual actors these days are versatile to take up both roles.
Eric doesn’t mind it, though. He applauds and supports the LGBTQ community the best way he knows how.
