"It is deeply sad and troubling that this is how Kevin Spacey has chosen to come out," Quinto wrote in a statement.
"Not by standing up as a point of pride — in the light of all his many awards and accomplishments, thus inspiring tens of thousands of struggling LGBTQ kids around the world — but as a calculated manipulation to deflect attention from the very serious accusation that he attempted to molest one," the actor went on.
"I am sorry to hear of Anthony Rapp's experience and subsequent suffering. And I am sorry that Kevin only saw fit to acknowledge his truth when he thought it would serve him — just as his denial served him for so many years."
Quinto ended his statement with a call to action, asking that those listening to pay close attention to Rapp, not Spacey.
"May Anthony Rapp's voice be the one which is amplified here. Victims' voices are the ones that deserve to be heard," Quinto wrote.
Other members of the LGBTQ community found Spacey's statement problematic too, agreeing with Quinto that it seemed he was using his coming out as a way to draw attention away from the allegations of sexual misconduct.

Rapp told Buzzfeed Newsthat the allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein inspired him to speak out about his experiences.
Actress Rose McGowan — who has publicly criticized Weinstein for sexual misconduct since reaching a settlement with him in the late '90s — also spoke out in defense of Rapp.
