He and his boyiend Jonathan Fernanz were the first gay uple to appear on Love & Hip Hop: New York. The reason I me out 2017 is bee I had so many managers and labels I went through; labels kept askg, "What are we gog to do if people fd out you're gay? You were also told that if you're to certa thgs, you hi them—like beg gay.

JONATHAN FERNANZ MARRIED? – TRENT CREWS GAY?

Then labels told me I wasn't Black enough—and they uld see I was gay. So after beg turned down by so many labels ( wh them sayg if I had a gay dience, they would ph me).

So then I cid to officially e out as gay—but then I lost the support I thought I was gog to get bee, unfortunately, gay men don't support each other. I wasn't gog to gay parti and clubs, but I was unr the imprsn that the gay muny would look out for me.

And this is where the nversatn really gets plited bee, om my experience, the only gay boys who w are those who are tly a ms or who are drag queens. I almost wish I didn't e out; I n't go back bee I was gay on TV.
