In the followg exclive terview, exec producer Rebec Sclair reveals when she realized Teddy preferred guys over gals, previews his first same-sex romance, and rells Donovan’s ial reactn upon learng that he’d be playg gay.

In a lot of ways I thk that’s more tertg than Teddy is a gay athlete, a gay famo guy’s son and a blon and hunky gay gentleman.

Did you know Teddy would be gay when he was first troduced? And I gus our ultimate goal would be to tell a whole range of stori that pict different facets of the issue of gayns—or non-straightns, you might say. Though, thankfully, we live an age where lots of teens are fortable wh their sexual orientatn and are able to e out when they’re high school or even before, we didn’t want to ignore the realy that for lots of kids the road to self-acceptance for a gay teenager isn’t easy.

90210'S TEDDY MONTGOMERY SET TO BE REVEAL HE IS SECRETLY GAY NEW SERI

* teddy gay 90210 *

And he’s worked hard to reprs whatever homosexual feelgs he’s had. He plays Ian, a self-nfint, funny guy who is very much out and fortable wh his gayns.

When did you rm Trevor that his character was gog to be gay?

I thk he regnized that was a good opportuny as an actor and he was exced by the ia of tellg the story of a character’s journey that would mean a lot to gay teenagers and other teenagers who are learng to be hont about who they are and what they feel. After stgglg wh his sexualy for a long time, he fally was able to adm to himself that he was gay and me out to his iends. In episo 9, Teddy is slowly startg to accept his sexualy and viss a gay bar alone but he los his wallet and is forced to ask Ian for help.

This brgs Teddy and Ian slightly closer as iends, a lot bee Ian is the only one Teddy n nfi about his homosexualy. But at Adrianna's party, Teddy fally adms to Ian he is gay but jt isn't that ready to e out to everyone yet but one day he will be but Ian needs to give him some time. Liam Court, Dixon and Navid take Teddy to a gay bar as a sign of support.

Teddy nfs to Tripp that he's actually gay and rponse Tripp kiss him, revealg that he is too. Teddy leav Beverly Hills for Barcelona, and leav a voicemail for his father revealg he is gay. Shane l out Teddy's uncle as a homophobe, and tells him they n never be together if Teddy supports his uncle the mpaign.

Last night, our re characters alt wh rape, homophobia, pregnancy and HIV. But stead of fallg to some sort of closeted spiral of shame, Teddy chose to be angry—and homophobic—llg Ian a f—-t, a velopment that seemed particularly heartbreakg given all the recent real-life news volvg suicis among gay youths. Last we saw Teddy Montgomery, the surprisgly gay character on CW's 90210, he was movg to Washgton wh boyiend Shane (played by Ryan Rottman).

Teddy is one of TV's most unstereotypil gay characters. Did anyone, on the show or off, ask you to "gay up"? I thk creatg an unstereotypil gay character like Teddy was beneficial.

In a velopment very tratg to this cric, 90210 spoiled one of s biggt third season storyl over the summer: Teddy will stggle wh his sexualy this year and eventually adm that he's gay. "No one would have gused Teddy was gay - myself clud, " he says. There was nothg stereotypilly gay about him.

Donovan told the magaze -- which go on sale Friday -- that ever sce his character, Teddy, me out as gay on the show, his datg life has gotten even better.

The bar turns out to be lled Mandate and the bouncer clearly sucks as he don't even bother to check anyone's intifitn even though they are all high school stunt, and as you'll see om the clientele, this isn't an unr 21 are a lot of hot shirtls guys si, but thankfully we don't have too many of the hedonistic extrem TV shows always ed to show orr to munite that A) the scene was a gay bar and that B) gay bars are really different and guys are all pretty unfortable, cludg Teddy, and ment about how great the "lightg" is "the kds" of bars as if straight clubs are all l wh overhead halogen lights that make everyone look bad.
