Secondly, I also don’t believe Spacey is using his sexuality as a means to “deflect” anything. If it is, that’s shameful, but can we also avoid just assuming that coming out is some tool to be used for social gain?

I always respected he kept his sexuality to himself all these years as it's nobody's business.
I think he only officially came out in his statement as he wanted to be fully honest in his response to the accusation, and he wasn't in any way using that as a tool.
I believe him when he said that he honestly doesn't remember. Do I believe he was really drunk and made a move on the kid? yes. does what I think matter? no.
only thing that bugs me is the "shock and horror" people in Hollywood all of a sudden have. the rich and powerful in hollywood have been using that power as a tool to further their desires since Hollywood began.
so many people had so many chances to do something at the time and didn't do anything. their careers were more important than doing what was right.
they just ignored it and turned a blind eye.
kudos to Rapp and any male or female actor who finally feels society has shifted enough that they can come forward.
Hopefully for spacey it was a one time drunken mistake and not like Harvey and a years long history of predatory behavior.
Owning up to the fact that's it's likely true helps, instead of denying it.
but Other than that I don't think there is anything he can do to make it right.
