WHY ARE PEOPLE GAY? GAY BY CHOICE OR IS BEG GAY GEIC?

He never actually me out as gay. Through tears, Flynn, who feels supported by the dtry regards to his sexualy, says he’s thrilled he gets the opportuny to be a role mol for “any gay boy at home.

It was nice to see that I had iends like Tarell McCraney who wrote the origal “Moonlight” play, that me out right around then, and sce then, we’ve seen “Call Me by Your Name” and “Love, Simon” and different projects that embrace beg gay and beg bi. I read recently that Rsia is censorg “Rocketman” wh certa scen that volve Elton John and his gay relatnships, so there’s still that b of shock and there are still stat the U. It’s my hope that eventually one day, we’re not even llg them “LGBTQ stori” or “gay movi, ” and that they are jt a part of the fabric of tellg stori bee that’s what I thk will really revolutnize all of this — when we step away om sayg, “Brandon Flynn is an LGBTQ actor” when really, I’m jt an actor, or sayg that “Call Me by Your Name” is an LGBTQ story when really, ’s jt a story.

So even when the dtry ught wd of me beg bisexual or gay or whichever one they choose to go wh, didn’t feel like was my own, and I thk that’s a b tratg for me and that’s where I feel a b judged that I didn’t get to do that, nor did I really want to.

Sydney had this whole oral where they had a plane wre up the sky “vote no” for this proposn about gay rights and gay marriage, and I had ma a post. I’ve gone back and read the post, and I’m an ally, of urse, but was that post that all of the sudn ma me gay.

Not that was the dtry’s flt at all, but beg the dtry mak you someone of public cursy, hence why all of the sudn I was a gay actor, but jt bee I was supportg human rights.

When I was younger, y, even before I knew that I was to men, I alt wh people tellg me that I was gay and people assumg.

I’ve been supported by everyone on “13 Reasons Why” and we’ve bee such a fay, but ’s not really somethg that I thk of when I enter a new job, like, “Am I gog to have to al wh people thkg I’m gay or knowg I’m gay or knowg I’m bi or knowg I’m straight? What msage do you thk sends to Hollywood and younger viewers watchg the show that you play a stereotypil bad boy on “13 Reasons Why, ” but you are gay real life?

10 REASONS GAYS CHASE STRAIGHTS

A lot of my hero like Jam Dean and Montgomery Clift and actors of the oln days, who have all been unr speculatn of beg homosexual or havg homosexual experienc, they uldn’t really do any of that, and if you look eper to their liv, a lot of them were really sad and really msed up, and I thk some of that has to do wh that. Personally, ep down — ugh, I’m gettg a ltle teary — I’m happy to be the guy that any gay boy at home n say, “F—, ’s totally possible to do anythg.

Do you thk your generatn of Hollywood is more supported beg their te selv than former generatns of young stars, who didn’t e out until they were well to their adult years bee of the stigma associated wh beg gay?

What sort of msag do you get om them, regards to you beg on a TV show and beg gay? I’m very close wh Brian Yorke, the creator of the show, who is also a gay man.

But I never want to provoke that eher, bee I thk that’s what a lot of gay men the dtry lean to, is that no one knows, and I thk some people get a kick out of that. I do get a lot of scripts sent where ’s like, “Hey, would Brandon be terted playg the gay guy this script?
