A Snapchat video of the 'Teen Wolf' actor announcing that he was gay in front of a sign labeled Gay St. caused quite a stir on social media.
“This is me. I am this and this is me. I’ve never felt more alive,” Posey says in the video, before turning the camera on himself to yell, “I’m gay!”
Posey later addressed his comments on social media in a series of tweets, explaining that he was trying to support LGBTQ community. But the actor also made clear that he is actually heterosexual and regrets offending anybody who has struggled to come out.
unapologeticbicth: “it’s the ultimate form of straight privilege to be able to fake being gay as a “joke.” people are harassed and killed for being themselves. pretending to come out is harmful and blatantly disrespectful of all of the people who don’t have the luxury to come out to a safe and supportive family or who have come out and been murdered for it. tyler posey needs to take his privilege and gtfo”
brucewvayne: “you can help us by not turning our identity into a joke you can help us by donating your money to lgbt folks in need.”
