Grant Gustin Is Gay? 'The Flash' Actor Said, 'I Was Gay-Bashed;' Actor Talked About Bullying Issues 2012 GLAAD Media Awards

"The Flash" actor, Grant Gustin is gay? He was rumored to be gay way back in his highschool days.

On an interview of Zap2It with Gustin about thoughts on the recent media attention given to youth bullies, the actor admitted that he was also bullied.

Below is his exact statement during in the interview. 

"I was a theater kid. I tap danced when I was in middle school," Gustin said at the 2012 GLAAD Media Awards.

Then, he continued telling his previous experience:

"I played sports and I tap danced, but I was different than the other guys when I was in school. I didn't hang out with them. I didn't do the sports thing. I was 'gay-bashed' when I was in school even though, you know, I'm not. I'm a straight guy that just happens to be what I do. So, it's easily relatable to me. It was awful. It's a hard time in a kid's life. I just listened to the song 'Creep' today by Radiohead and it makes me think about it."

He continued, "We have a generation right now where people are deciding it's okay to be themselves, and there's still some people out there that are scared of it. We're coming into an era where I think it's going to be, whatever it is, it's going to be more accepted."

Way back in 2012, "The Flash" actor appeared on "Glee."  He also mentioned his appearance on "Glee" and discussed one of the episodes where Darren Criss and Chris Colfer kissed each other.

"It's a revelation for this generation. Especially last season when Darren Criss' character was first introduced and seeing that kiss between a very young Darren Criss and Chris Colfer was a big statement to make and a statement that needed to be made. And it was done in a very realistic, fair way. No slander. No stigmas placed on it. It makes it real for kids. The show and the characters are so important to them."
