For her part, Rice said that she was “shocked” by the revelatn, bee she “thought he was straight, ” and that she worried about him havg to face difficulti due to homophobia, but said his g out didn’t dimish her love for him.

THE VAMPIRE DIARI FAILED THEIR TOKEN GAY CHARACTER

“People rpond very different ways to what beg gay means. She also told NPR that the church’s stance on gay marriage was a key factor her cisn: “I didn’t anticipate at the begng that the U. Bishops were gog to e out agast same-sex marriage … that they were actually gog to donate money to feat the civil rights of homosexuals the secular society.

“At the time I was a navigatg difficult terrory of genr and sexualy, and she was the first person I me out to as gay, ” Fairchild said the piece.
