Here, Dallas opens up about nyg beg gay on “The Howard Stern Show” (“the worst day of my life”), how g out eed him and movg to Colorado to put fay first.

We jt wanted to make somethg that is very te the gay muny and somethg that is very relevant, and have fun wh . When we were shootg “Kyle XY, ” I still had agents at the time and people tellg me that I had to hi beg gay and had to work wh a speech ach and go on rpets wh a girl on my arm.

We still don’t see openly gay actors play leadg men rol. You have “Love, Simon, ” but we don’t have an openly gay actor playg a superhero yet or playg a “Missn: Impossible” character. In 2006, you appeared on “The Howard Stern Show” and nied claims Perez Hilton had ma that you were gay.
