Stranger Things actor Noah Schnapp reflects on his decision to openly discuss his sexuality, expressing contentment with how he handled it.
After seven months of coming out as gay on social media, the 18-year-old star revisits the early stages of his coming out journey.
In January, Schnapp used TikTok to share his truth, lip-synching to a popular sound while revealing his relief in telling friends and family about his sexual orientation.
The actor had spent 18 years feeling scared and closeted before finding the courage to share his authentic self with loved ones.
The response from his friends and family was supportive, with their reaction being an affirming and positive experience for Schnapp.
Looking back, he feels satisfied with the way he chose to approach and reveal his sexuality to the world.
