“I was literally told from the day that I moved to Los Angeles that I could not be gay because I wouldn’t work,” he said. “My management team told me I couldn’t be this way and they tried to set me up with girls… It was horrible.”
Colton Haynes claims that coming out as gay has made him happier than ever, but that it was a bittersweet end to a longtime struggle that began at home.
“I’m the last person in the world who would say, ‘Oh, my dad – pity me.’ But I was told that my dad killed himself because he found out I was gay. So, of course, I lost it and was like, ‘How could you say something like that?’ ” the 28-year-old actor revealed in an interview with OUT magazine.
Now, Haynes seems to be happier than ever. He recently got engaged to his boyfriend, celebrity florist Jeff Leatham.
