He frequently tries to rally his millions of followers to be more politically active, according to Variety. He is also a huge proponent of developing more relatable characters for gay people in the media.
He told Variety that while watching "Love, Simon," a love story with a gay protagonist, he realized, "Straight people go to the movies and literally see themselves all the time. It was so unusual to have a connection to what was happening on-screen instead of being a step or two removed. Ben Platt is a force to be reckoned with—and he's not slowing down anytime soon.
Platt, the Tony winner who also starred in "Pitch Perfect" and "The Politician," is lightning in a bottle. Platt came out as gay to his family at 13 and came out publicly in Unlike many gay actors, Platt was one of the few who has more or less always been out to the public. He told Variety , "There was never like a gung-ho of 'Let's come out as soon as possible' because no matter how forward-thinking we all get, it becomes an obstacle a little bit in the case of auditioning, producers and casting and directors.
Hopefully, we're moving a bit beyond that. You may also like: best Westerns of all time.

Everything in between. I am at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my new boyfriend. As we walk through the museum, I think about what sort of picture we make.
He is young, skinny, black. I am older, thick, ethnically ambiguous. I think about what people, my friends, or even I myself think about our age difference, about our differences in general. We walk into the exhibition, and I tell him that I want to split company in order to take in the photos on my own time. In between some of the pictures are cryptic, out-of-context quotes by Eggleston. I stand in front of one:. Who has the right not to explain themselves? The ones whose subjectivities have been naturalized.
It enrages me. No, it confuses me. But the absence of explanation is somehow … somehow … somehow what? But there is also another realm of feeling, which I like. I imagine the photographs emitting a magic cloud that hovers vertically, in front of the picture, beyond the size of the frame but still small and ever-shifting. I feel the space between me and the photograph. We are drawn into each other, like the tractor beam of a spaceship. I sit on a bench in the middle of the exhibition surrounded by the evidence, however frozen, of so much life.

These lives haunt me across time, enter into a fantastical space that I conjure now. Dissolve, appear, dissolve. What are my materials for this current crisis of identity? How did I come to be colonized? And how did I find out that I had been colonized? Have I found out? How did I come to equate family and origin as violent and threatening? How did whiteness become, I shudder even to write this, safety—a lack of feeling, a lack of allegiances.
It made space, or at least I thought it did, for me. I need more proposals from Africa. I need a balance between big budgets and social developments.

Why do you do what you do? The wall is too grey, and needs more colour.. People need more positive psychology. I think my art fights with modern advertising. How have you developed your career? My artistic career is developing in the right way, because at the end, I follow my feelings and that energy.
When I discover a new project, I always follow my heart.
