The Arrow and Teen Wolf star, who has struggled with clinical anxiety, peeked out of the closet in January when he responded to a Tumblr comment about his "secret gay past" with a coy, "Was it a secret?" [...] after rehab for his anxiety so severe it sent him to the hospital several times in months, he finally felt free enough to confirm the speculations. Haynes' first breakout role was on Teen Wolf, a show whose fanbase ardently 'ships two heterosexual characters Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) and Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) to be together. Fans have shown fervent love for this fictional homosexual relationship through GIF sets, fan fiction and more. While it may be a while before Hollywood catches up to actual viewer behavior, at least Haynes and actors like them are living freely--and creating cultural change for the better.
