Tommy Dorfman Opens Up About Being Out As An Actor, And His Husband

The '13 Reasons Why' Star is delving deep. - by Bianca M

Tommy Dorfman Opens Up About Being Out As An Actor, And His Husband

Tommy Dorfman, one of our favourite 13 Reasons Why stars just became the cover star for the latest issue of Schön! magazine, and boy does he look baben'!

Being on the cover, the actor got the opportunity to open up about more of his personal life, and we were all ears.

.

He opened up about starring on the hit show, and how it's suddenly gotten him such a huge following.

“It’s interesting to be in a position where I suddenly have a following and a platform, but that’s not necessarily fulfilling to me. I didn’t become an actor to have a million Instagram followers. I also don’t think that the amount of followers I have necessarily means I’m going to do the kind of work I want to do: meaningful work.”

Yas king.

On a more personal note, he touched on what it's like being openly gay, and being married to his husband, Peter Zurkuhlen.

“I’m married and, just since this show’s come out, I have a certain lack of anonymity. I’m still coming to terms with [that] and figuring out how to move forward with all these components. I definitely don’t have it figured out. I’m just trying to stay on the boat.”

“Maybe I’ve limited my opportunities by being so open about my sexuality, but my thinking is that, if I come out of the gates this way, then it’s not really going to be a big deal in a couple of years.”

He's exactly right. In fact, co-star Brandon Flynn (who plays Justin Foley) recently came out on Instagram, with a very heartfelt message.

Just saw the "vote no" message in the sky, looming over Sydney. Thank you for raising money and hiring on a plane to write your lack of support amongst the clouds. I hope your hate and lack of understanding fades, just like those words will. Too many of my friends have been kicked out of their homes, kept in the closet, beat up, killed, ridiculed by church and state, institutionalized... and you are scared that if we vote YES, you won't be able to show your hate for Us. Fuck that. We've been scared shitless our whole lives thanks to all the stigmas that surround Us, stigmas that were set in place by the same kind of people who flew that plane over Sydney. We've fought, we've come out bravely even in our fear, and you wrote a message in the sky because you're scared. Equality takes courage, it worries me that too many people in this world lack the balls to stand up for what is right. #fuckhate

13 Reasons Why will return to Netflix in 2018.
