“As a gay guy, you have to come out
all the time,” Borelli told EW. “People think coming out is the
first time [someone] says they're gay, when in reality coming out is
a constant process. I'd forgotten how intense the feelings are and
how big a step it is.”
“This is not just coming out for me.
This is about speaking your truth, and being authentic, and really
being vulnerable. For people who are watching, I hope it can inspire
them to tell their truth, whatever that may be. It doesn't have to
be about being gay. It's just about being honest,” he added.
