Jonathan Bailey added, “All it takes is for one of those people in that position of power to say that, and it ripples through. So, yeah, of course, I thought that. Of course, I thought that in order to be happy, I needed to be straight.”
Soon enough Jonathan Bailey who was still thinking about the advice gave up and decided to embrace his own self.

More power to you Jonathan!
