Alyson Stoner is opening up about the harsh realities of coming out as queer in Hollywood. The Cheaper by the Dozen alum stopped by the I’m Literally Screaming with Spencewuah podcast earlier this month, where they opened up about coming out — and the RIDICULOUS consequences they suffered for doing so.

As you may know, Alyson came out in a 2018 Teen Vogue essay, sharing at the time that they’d fallen in love with a woman. Now, five years later, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody alum embraces their queer identity more than ever, indicating in their Instagram bio that they use they/them pronouns.

However, Alyson wasn’t always as confident as they are now. Related: Lily-Rose Depp Is In ‘Love’ With Girlfriend 070 Shake!

Alyson sadly added: UGH! And of course anti-LGBT sentiment has only grown in those five years as right-wingers encourage campaigns of hate.
