Kevin McHale on coming out as gay

Former actor on the musical tv show Glee had confirmed last month that he was gay, when he tweeted about Ariana Grande’s song No Tears Left to Cry. But he says that he didn’t even realise he was coming out when he tweeted it!

JustJared.com reports Kevin as saying, “I didn’t think anything of it. Would anyone choose to come out in a tweet about an Ariana Grande song? It was eye opening for a number of reasons. People don’t know. I’ve been living in this bubble where I was just like, ‘Just because you don’t know doesn’t mean I’m not openly living my life.’”

Kevin opened up about how he was in a long-term relationship during his early 20s and didn’t want his coming out to affect the guy he was dating.

“I was very conscious of (the fact that) this wasn’t just my life they’ll be talking about if I do mention something, it’s also the person I’m with and if they’re not necessarily at the same place as I am, it’s not really fair to them,” Kevin said. The guy he was with was terrified of one family member finding out he was gay, so he was respectful to that.

Kevin is now dating fellow actor Austin McKenzie.
