, however, isn’t something that others should judge — even though he’s in the limelight.
“It’s sort of not fair for people to be hypercritical of him in terms of his coming out, because everybody’s coming out was difficult in one way, shape or form,” he said. “Whether they came out really young, whether it was assumed that they were gay, whether it was assumed that they were straight, each one of those comes with its own difficulties. And I think that people oftentimes go through that struggle. It sort of feels like you’re drowning sometimes.
“There’s other people that still need help and Colton was one of them and his coming out will certainly inspire other people and help other people,” Kenworthy added. “And the more representation we can have is for the better, it’s just going to make it easier.” The California resident, who came out as gay in 2015, also teased what fans can expect to see when Underwood’s show premieres.
“It’s about Colton’s journey, but he spoke with lots of people in the [LGBTQ+] community during his coming out process to try and get perspective and a better understanding of the community that he was joining,” Kenworthy said. “And that is not just me. It’s not just cisgender white gay men. He talked to a lot of people and there are people that will sort of play a large role in the show because they had a big impact on him. It’s trans folks and it’s people of color and it’s not just me.
Minor typo toward the bottom. This part 'While Kenworthy and Underwood are just friends, the actor told Us that his pal is “on the apps” including Tinder and Grinder.' It's Grindr.
