Tyler James Williams is setting the record straight about his sexuality.In a set of Instagram Stories posts made in celebration of Pride Month, Williams addressed the rumors surrounding his sexuality and warned about the dangers of speculating on someone's sexual orientation.«I'm not gay; but I think the culture of trying to 'find' some kind of hidden trait or behavior that a closeted person 'let slip' is very dangerous,» Williams wrote Saturday. «Overanalyzing someone's behavior in an attempt to 'catch' them directly contributes to the anxiety a lot of queer and queer questioning people feel when they fear living in their truth.»In addition to contributing to a culture of fear, the  star said that it makes even the most basic of conversations and interactions feel less safe gay men and women who may be questioning their sexuality.

He also noted that it reinforces archetypes many straight have to live with that he called «unrealistic,» «less free» and liming of their «individual expression.»He continued, «I've been very clear about the intentionality I try to put into using my platform to push back against those archetypes every chance that I get.
