Criss and Murphy have worked together before in Glee, but we're definitely seeing the singer in a whole new light. I, for one, will definitely be looking out for Criss on the upcoming season.

Even in 2026, the coming out process can be fraught. From fans trying to shove stars out of the closet (we’re looking at you, Heated Rivalry fans) to the current political climate where conservatives are trying to strip LGBTQ+ people of their rights, there are valid reasons to worry about coming out. 
However, that’s even more reason to celebrate when someone acts courageously and decides to live out loud and proud in the public eye. Coming out publicly not only allows celebs to live a more authentic life, but they also become a beacon of hope for young queer people struggling with their identity.
