Desperate Housewives actor Shawn Pyfrom has denied that his onscreen characater is gay.

Despite being caught in a naked swimming pool clinch with another boy, Andrew Van Der Kamp declared "I'm not gay" in the most recent episode of the hit show.

It looks as though his unlikely claim may have some merit, however. "Hahaha, my character doesn't 'come out' because he is not gay," said Pyfrom in a message on his website. "He has a gay experience, but he is just experimenting right now. But keep watching and you'll see what happens with my character."
