“I remember thinking this is not only dumb it’s hurtful,” Bacon told PEOPLE at the time of his initial reaction to learning of “conversion therapy” as a practice.
“To put anyone — especially a young person — through such a shameful, painful process when there is no chance of it working is terrible,” he added at the time. “Why? Where’s the threat? Why is anyone else’s sexual orientation your problem?”
Bacon and Sedgwick first met on the set of the PBS movieLemon Skyin 1987 and married on Sept. 4, 1988.
The couple shares son Travis, 33, and daughterSosie, 31, who each work in the entertainment industry as a musician and actor, respectively.
