Platt came out publicly in February with the release of the music video for his song "Ease My Mind" from his album "Sing to Me Instead." It features Charlie Carver playing his love interest. "It was really a conscious decision. You know, I'm going to be public about this, [but] to go in and edit my relationship seemed silly for no reason," Platt said. "I don't think I realized the gravity of it until it was out and I was seeing people's reaction to it."
