Glee star , Darren Criss, who noted that he identifies as a right, said he is” historically queer” owing to his San Francisco lifestyle.
” I have been so culturally queer my whole life”, Criss said at the , Chicago Comic &, Entertainment Expo ( C2E2 ) over the weekend, according , to a report by , Entertainment Weekly. ” Not because I’m trying — actually, I was gonna say ‘ not because I’m trying to get nice,’ but I’m gonna remove that, because I am trying to get cool”.
” The things in my life that I have tried to emulate, learn from and be inspired by are 100 percent gay as fuck”, the artist added.
Criss apparently explained that his education in , San Francisco helped him to better know his Glee figure, Blaine, who is in a marriage with , Kurt, portrayed by Chris , Colfer.
” It was  , in queer communities that I’ve found people that I idolize, that I want to learn something from” , , Criss said. In the 1990s, I was born and raised in San Francisco. I watched people death. There was a sense of the gay experience that I did n’t understand. But, it was a tale that I cared seriously on”.
After being asked , what it was like playing the groundbreaking relationship on television, Criss replied,” It was  , fucking awesome”.
” So, we really call it a relation on TV. However, to put it another way, a gay marriage on contemporary Fox is a pretty nice thing to be a part of, the actor said.
People of all ages, all levels of awareness responded,” I did n’t grow up with a show like that and it was a really meaningful thing for me to see,” and Criss continued,” I did n’t grow up with a show like that and that would’ve been very meaningful for me as well.”
Despite the fact that I am a immediately child, That has worth”, he said. ” For anyone who’s been an underdog, we all know, in any shape or form — sexual, religious, biological — it has value because there’s going to be a lot of people who see that and say,’ Okay, I can now understand this in a context that maybe I was n’t able to before.'”
Criss concluded that” It was a fucking , luxury” to play , Blaine on Glee, adding,” I , like talking about it and I’m so glad I got to do it”.
