“I think for me, I just love that trust you have with theater and your ensemble and people you are working with.”
“I loved experimenting with eyeshadow and lip gloss in my tween years.”
“There is no Cura Gay, there's just gay. Or not. Or however you identify, and nobody should have say over something so personal and inherent.”
“I try to spend as little time thinking about myself as possible. I find that's not a constructive way to live.”
“I always shopped in the girls' section during elementary school.”
“To work with a brand like ASOS that reaches such a young audience and to spread the message of GLAAD is exciting.”
“Off the top of my head, Alan Cumming was probably my biggest inspiration, as an actor and as a queer person.”
“It's really rare that you find a designer who's willing to dress people who maybe present more masculine in their womenswear.”
“It was exciting to play a gay person in high school who's really proud of himself and isn't dealing with the sort of typical story line - the coming-out story - but is already out and sort of an advocate in his own way.”
“I feel like, almost overnight, and this is weird to say about myself, I've become a queer advocate without even meaning to.”
“When I heard the news of Waldemar de Carvalho issuing a ruling to approve gay conversion therapy in Brazil, after it was banned for nearly 20 years, my heart broke. So many of my fans and supporters live in Brazil and it pains me to see them not feel legitimized for who they are and who they are attracted to.”
“I'm a people pleaser, and I want to help everyone who DM's me, so I make sure to promote organizations that fans can reach out to if they're struggling.”
“I'm a cleaner, a put-er away-er, an organizer of things.”
“I'm a Taurus.”
“I'm sober now, but I was partying a lot. Part of it was because gay bars felt like safe spaces... a place where you feel safe and comfortable in your own skin.”
“There was a period where I was like, 'I'm gonna have to be in the closet if I want to be successful.' But then I sort of made the decision right when I graduated college that that wasn't going to be my route. Even if it took longer to get work, I at least was gonna be true to myself.”
“'13 Reasons Why' includes LGBTQ people and people of color in stories without making it about that. They're just living, breathing, human beings who happen to be different from the white, cis, straight norm.”
“As nice as it is to make an appearance at an event, I don't find that the most fulfilling way to support an organization.”
“It's important for teenagers, young adults, parents, teachers, really everyone to see what the true High School experience is.”
“I feel like Hollywood likes to use gay people to tell either really sad gay stories starring straight actors, or everything's about a struggle. Everything's about coming out. Nothing was about just living and breathing as a human being who happens to be gay.”
