“Glee” star Chris Colfer revealed during an interview on “The View” (via Entertainment Weekly) that he was warned not to come out as gay as it would ruin his career just as the Fox musical comedy series was getting underway. Colfer played the openly gay high schooler Kurt Hummel on all six seasons of “Glee,” which ran from 2009 to 2015.
“I grew up in a very conservative town where being openly gay was dangerous,” Colfer said. “I remember when I got on ‘Glee,’ the role was written for me, and I did not know what the role was gonna be,and so I opened the script and when I read the script for the first time was when I saw that it was an openly gay character and I was terrified.”
