Connor Franta is not someone I was at all familiar with until today.
He has 3.6 million followers on YouTube and today he has some massive news for those fans: he is gay.

While many fans may be acting on the laudable goal of increasing representation among a marginalized people, we argue that demanding that performers disclose their sexual orientation is morally counterproductive.
This gatekeeping social pressure typically leaves only three options for performers, and none of them are good. It will force performers to either
(i) out themselves against their will
(ii) subject themselves to intense universal backlash by taking the role without outing themselves
(iii) forgo taking
