Love, Simon' actor Keiynan Lonsdale says falling in love with a friend kicked off his journey. Keiynan Lonsdale went to great lengths to hide his sexuality. The Flash actor, 26, says that even though he went to a dance high school with a large population of gay students, he was afraid to come out to his fellow classmates.

WHAT KIND OF SCHOOL HAS MORE GAY AND BI GUYS THAN STRAIGHT??!! SOUNDS AMAZING

@emilyryan892 6 жыл бұрын

Dante Ferrise It was a dance school. It's very common to have a large gay population in the arts. I don't know why though.

@emilyryan892 6 жыл бұрын

Most of the guys I've known in the past that either acted or danced were gay. Obviously some were straight but a lot more were gay. I think it's great. The arts are a place where gay people can come and be themselves cuz they'll more than likely find other LGBT+ people to relate to.

@ritaleonidas399 6 жыл бұрын

He said that it’s because he went to a dance school but I think it depends because in the national ballet school in my country most of the guys are straight. But usually arts people are more acceptive

i came out on national coming out day, i'd been wanting to for a while but i didn't know how to do it so i just said screw it and posted a thing on instagram. the next day at school my friends greeted me with puns and honestly i felt so relieved to just have this huge secret off my chest and it's so liberating. for anybody wanting to come out, it can be difficult but honestly there's really nothing you can do to prepare for the moment, you just gotta go all in and do it. if i could give you advice i would, but there's not much i can say other than just go for it

From the beginning of the film I was hoping you were the Blue. Maybe because I knew you from the Flash series.
