Teen Wolf's Tyler Posey Just Said He Was Gay in the Cutest Way
The actor who plays a wolf on the hit show used his Snapchat account to get the word out that he's gay.
Teen Wolf star Tyler Posey just came out in the cutest way! The 24-year-old actor Snapchatted a video of himself at the famed intersection of Christopher and Gay streets in Greenwich Village. As he approached the Gay Street sign he smiled and said, “This is me, I am this and this is me.” If that weren’t enough to get the message across, he said, “I’ve never felt more alive. I’m gay!”
A multiple Teen Choice Award winner, Tyler was engaged to a woman, Seana Gorlick, previously but broke it off in 2014.
In case you’re not a Teen Wolf watcher, you may recognize Tyler from a brief stint on Brothers and Sisters and on the series Lincoln Heights.
A known prankster, according to Teen Vogue, some outlets have questioned whether Tyler actually came out, or if he was just playing around. His rep has not yet confirmed or denied, but coming out is serious business, and he seemed pretty serious about it.
Here's hoping Tyler is living his true life and that he's saving the jokes for a subject other than coming out.
UPDATE: Tyler later clarified that his Snapchat "coming out" was just a misleading prank. He took to Twitter to apologize for any confusion.
\u201cI am a big proponent of love over hate, and standing together during divisive times.\u201d— tyler posey (@tyler posey) 1469887048
\u201c[Part 2]: Although I'm not gay, I fully support the LGBTQ community. This was a moment intended to reflect that.\u201d— tyler posey (@tyler posey) 1469887083
\u201cAnd everyone, I am truly sorry to the people I've offended or lessened how big coming out is. I just want to spread love in this world.\u201d— tyler posey (@tyler posey) 1469888609
