Was Chace Crawford Outed?

It looks like The New York Observer has decided to out Chace Crawford. They wrote an article about sexuality and actors and how a man had been enjoying the company of another man at a premiere party and how that man was Chace Crawford. Only, they are kind of sneaky about it. They only mention Chace's name at the end when they say this about the premiere party. “There’s also the simple matter of defusing the knowing laughter of a public that maybe just doesn’t care that much anymore. ‘If you’re in the closet,’ said [Lance] Bass, ‘you get made fun of more than if you just come out!’ If he’s in fact gay, that’s a lesson Chace Crawford—the dashing, engrossed young man at the premiere—may do well to heed.”
