Last season Rumer Willis joined the cast of 90210 and played the token lesbian. This season I guess 90210 decided that they need a to make one of their male leads come out of the closet and tried to keep that person’s identity a secret. That was until yesterday when the show’s newest lead,
Trevor Donovan outed himself on Twitter.
I read all your tweets and know you are all curious about the “gay” character this season. Let me say, gay or straight, relationships are relationships. Everyone goes through the same kind of troubles and joys. A gay storyline will have an added issue of dealing with judgment from others. Acceptance, by family, friends, society and self is just one of the concerns the character will be going through. It is a part of life, and it should be portrayed. I was told, and am confident the storyline will be written very well and the change in the character will be organic, NOT overnight. It’s going to be a great season 3. I look forward to chatting with you all as we progress.
Nice to spoil the big reveal. Personally, I don’t care which male lead is gay. To me all these stunts feel to After School Special for me. What’s next? Abortion? STDs? Death? Plastic surgery? Cutting? Kleptomania? Runaway? Prostitution?
