Speaking out. Abbott Elementary actor Tyler James Williams has opened up about speculation surrounding his sexuality.“Usually I wouldn’t address stuff like this but I feel like it as a conversation is bigger than me.
I’m not gay, but I think the culture of trying to ‘find’ some kind of hidden trait or behavior that a closed person ‘let slip’ is very dangerous,” the Everybody Hates Chris alum, 30, wrote in a lengthy statement shared via his Instagram Stories on Saturday, June 3. “Overanalyzing someone’s behavior in an attempt to ‘catch’ them directly contributes to the anxiety a lot of queer and queer-questioning people feel when they fear living in their truth.
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.”Williams — who has previously been linked to Karina Pasian and Anastasia Baranova, respectively — noted that such analytical antics can reinforce “unrealistic” archetypes that many men have to “live under,” which, in turn, limits their “individual expression.”The Wedding Year star — who rose to fame as a child actor — explained that he has tried to be “very clear about the intentionality” of his actions and what he shares on his public platform in a bid to “push back against those archetypes.”He added on Saturday: “Being straight doesn’t look one way.
Being gay doesn’t look one way. And what may seem like harmless fun and conversation may actually be sending a dangerous message to those struggling with real issues.”Williams noted that he refused to “inadvertently contribute” to such rhetoric and offered a sweet Pride Month message to members of the LGBTQIA+ community.In order to view the video, please allow
