Arrow star Colton Haynes appears to have come out via social media

By Troy Nankervis

It seems many celebrities who are choosing to come out publicly in the past 12 twelve months have opted to do so in the most relaxed of ways and we’re all for it here at Attitude HQ.

Back in November, we reported Modern Family star Reid Ewing casually came out on Twitter when he nonchalantly wrote he was “never in” the closet.

Now it’s Arrow and Teen Wolf star Colton Haynes sending the Internet into a flurry, as he replied to a fan’s comment on Tumblr, which appears to confirm his sexuality, writes Gay.com.

The talented actor received a comment on the popular social media platform saying “when I found out Colton Haynes had a secret gay past I got so excited even though I know it makes absolutely no difference in my life”.

Responding later via his official Tumblr page, Haynes wrote: “Was it a secret? Let’s all just enjoy life & have no regrets”.

While the 27-year-old’s other social media channel’s are still rather quiet on the issue, he did Tweet “No fear this year” to his 1.2 million followers.

On Instagram, the notoriously private actor wrote he wanted to start 2016 “with great people and positivity”, and it’s with this spirit that his news has been getting kudos from right across social media.

One user wrote, “I love how Twitter is exploding with positive news of #ColtonHaynes. If only this would happen for everyone’s #comingout experience.”

“Colton Haynes came out and I’m so happy about life right now,” said another.
