Disney star Joshua Rush – known for his work on Andi Mack playing Cyrus, the TV network’s first LGBTQ character – is opening up about his sexuality.
The 17-year-old actor posted on Twitter, “first to respond to this tweet is bi lol,” and quickly followed up with, “first! i win! it’s me. i’m bi. And now that I’ve said that, I have a few things to rant about. There are more important things to talk about than me liking a whole bunch of genders, but I do want to share a few things with you guys.”
“Instead of feeling the courage to tell you today that I am an out and proud bisexual man because of the character I played for four years, I feel that courage thinking of all of you, who felt emboldened by Cyrus to come out,” Joshua continued. “I had a close friend of mine come out to me in fifth grade. FIFTH GRADE! That was well before I had any clue of my own identity and orientation. I suffered with some level of my own internalized homophobia even while playing the first openly gay character on Disney Channel.”
