Adam Pally, who plays gay on the ABC
comedy Happy Endings, says hearing from gay fans inspired by
his character is touching.
With Wednesday night's second season
premiere of the sitcom, Pally talked about his average Joe character
Max Blum in an interview with New York City gay glossy Next.
“I never really think about Max's
sexuality when I play him because it's just who he is,” the openly
straight Pally said. “He's a gay man and that's it. However, I
also think the show has done a great job of showing something that's
rarely been seen on television.”
Pally added that he enjoys hearing from
gay fans who have been inspired to come out by his cuddlesome
character.
“The most touching thing for me is
I've received a couple of Facebook messages from people who tell me
that Max is like them and he's given them a chance to come out. He
shows that you can be who you are and it's okay,” the 29-year-old
Pally said.
