Is Darren Criss gay? and got the best answer

Answer from Gabriela Ivanovna [master]
no, he's not gay, but Darren says he's thrilled to have the chance to play on TV a strong and confident gay character like Blaine. He grew up in a gay community and likes some things that are stereotypically girly, like musical theater, but Darren is completely heterosexual.
Ever since Darren Criss plays a gay teen in Glee, it goes without saying that some people have started to think of him as gay himself. And while the newest Glee star is NOT gay, Darren doesn't seem to care much about the labels.
"This topic is very close and dear to my heart, simply because I grew up in such an open community of theater in San Francisco. I do not mean that there was a lot of what is stereotypically considered" gay. " unintentionally raised in a “gay society.” My parents are heterosexual, but I spent an enormous amount of time at a very early age with gay men in their thirties and they showed promise in the theater. And these were people I spent time with from an early age age, "Darren told Vanity Fair.
Although the company that he adheres to makes some people make appropriate assumptions. “In later life, it even set all my priorities. I was, well, not very effeminate, but I liked girly things - I loved musical theater, and all such stereotypical things. I had to go out and say, okay, I'm sorry, but it seems I’m straight, and people said like: “Tell me it’s not so! “And I said it had been a secret for too long, but in fact I’m a heterosexual man,” he said of stepping out of the shadows.
This attitude has influenced Darren's shielding of his character in Glee, Blaine. "For a long time, when people asked me about Blaine, I refused to answer anything. It really doesn’t matter. But I don’t want to underestimate it, because this is a very serious question, and I understand why people would like to know. I I define myself as straight, but I don't show it in my role. As an actor, your goal is to act out a scene. And in this case, he just happens to be a gay teenager. "

And even if he plays gay on TV, in real life, as he explained to Vanity Fait, Darren is heterosexual:
“I was inadvertently raised in the“ gay community. ”My parents are heterosexual, but at an early age, I spent a lot of time with gays. And these were people with whom I talked a lot, so in my perception there was no concept of“ sexuality ". It just ... it was. It came a little later. I had all the ingredients in place. Well, I was not super feminine, but I liked a lot of girly things - I loved musical theater, all the stereotypical things. -out "where I said," I'm sorry, but I think I'm straight. "And if people said it wasn't. I would say," It's been a secret for a long time, but I'm really heterosexual. "
