    “All it takes is for one of those people in that position of power to say that, and it sinks in,” Bailey said. “So yeah, of course I thought that. Of course, I thought that to be happy I had to be straight. I reached a point where I was like, “Fuck this.” I would much rather hold my boyfriend’s hand in public or put my own face picture on Tinder and not worry about it so much than get a role.’

    “It’s not secret, but it’s private,” he explained. ‘Having a private life is completely crucial for me. I don’t know if I could be as confident in speaking out about other things if I felt like my whole life was up for grabs.”

We’re not that different. We’re just as anxious, and we’re just as flawed, and just as desperate to fall in love as everyone else. Thank you to the cast, this is for you!’
