Jack Falahee, who plays the gay character Connor Walsh on the show How to Get Away with Murder, has never spoken about his own sexuality until now. The actor finally took to Twitter on Tuesday to reveal that he is straight. “While I’m not gay, on HTGAWM I play a character who’s in an interracial relationship with an HIV positive man. I’ve declined to discuss my own sexuality in an attempt to try and dismantle the closet. Opponents to my ambiguous answers to questions surrounding my sexuality argued the importance of visibility. I think that my stance has been unhelpful in the fight for equality. I feel that I’ve sacrificed my ability to support the community for a more theoretical discussion about sexuality. Now more than ever, I want to offer my support to the community as an ally,” Jack wrote.
