The thing I'm proudest of is probably like any sort of work I've done in the LGBTQ space.
I think I realize now I was really, really scared to express myself through fashion or certain music or certain TV shows. I was petrified that anyone would ever think I was gay god forbid, and so, once I got over that I kind of could just let myself be.
I didn't realize how much me hiding my sexuality also meant that I hid a lot of just my identity as a person.
Let yourself be the person you've secretly always wanted to be
I call it viewing from afar, they call it stalking.
Sharing is caring, but I don't care.
I was definitely scared of fashion growing up just because I didn't want people to think I was gay. But now that I'm out, I feel like it's such a personal journey for me that I'm going on every single day where I feel more and more confident and comfortable to wear the clothes that I want to wear, and to have the interest that I have, and to paint my nails if I want to.
I'm angry because homophobia is still a thing...
What kind of sick person would answer rainbows?
I'm on the path to being someone I'm equally terrified by and obsessed with. My true self.
I feel like I have just been really, really lucky to meet some of the most successful and great actors alive today.
