I get that it seems like suspicious timing, but the 'defense' would have been worse if he said "I'm not gay, so that never could have happened or at least I don't remember it". People would have heaped a lot more dirt on him for any statement to that effect. I think he basically had to come out in order to respond in any kind of rational/realistic way.

The part that bugs me about this is Spacey choosing not come out has been a huge deal in parts of the gay community for years, he is seen as a traitor to the cause, I worry that attempting to force him out was more the motivation to this than anything else.
