Here's something that surprised me. Michael Johnston, gay Corey from Teen Wolf, debuted his boyfriend on Instagram this past year. Surprising because I recall back when the show was still on air, I looked him up on social media and found something where he was talking about a crush he had on some girl who didn't feel the same. This was from something prior to him being cast as a gay character on Teen Wolf, so it didn't strike me as being performative. He seemed like a nice guy who was just happy to be on the show, so I didn't begrudge him for being "straight". Anyways, I liked Corey, but I also felt that, despite its gay showrunner, the queer characters on that show often got the short end of the stick. And Corey and his boyfriend Mason were no exception (although Mason got to come back for the reunion movie at least).
What's interesting is how much queerer the show was behind the scenes, with Froy, Tyler, Colton, Charlie, and Andrew also having come out as queer, one way or another. Certainly makes me eye the rest of the male cast with some curiosity.
