The Abbott Elementary star urged his fans to cultivate safe spaces for the queer community during Pride Month.
actor noted that he usually “wouldn’t address stuff like this” but felt the “conversation is bigger than me”.“I’m not gay, but I think the culture of trying to ‘find’ some kind of hidden trait or behaviour that a closeted person ‘let slip’ is very dangerous,” the Emmy nominee wrote, condemning people who try to label others as queer before they’re ready to disclose their own sexuality.
“It makes the most pedestrian of conversations and interactions in spaces feel less safe for our gay brothers and sisters and those who may be questioning.”Advertisement Adding that being gay or straight “doesn’t look one way”, he warned that “what may seem like harmless fun and conversation may actually be sending a dangerous message”., wrapped up his message by wishing a “happy Pride to all of my queer and questioning brothers, sisters, and individuals”.
