Teen Wolf's Tyler Posey Apologizes for Fake Coming Out

Tyler Posey recently shared a video on Snapchat that some believed to be a coming out. In the video, he approaches Gay Street in New York’s West Village, recording a shot of the street sign.

“This is me,” he says in the video. “I am this and this is me. I’ve never felt more alive. I’m gay!”

Although the thought of the Teen Wolf star coming out would have been exciting news for young gay fans around the world, it's hard to take the video seriously considering his reputation for goofing around on social media. But given his reputation for being an ally to the LGBT community, we would have hoped he'd be smart enough not to make such a joke.

Sure enough, Posey took to Twitter to explain the apparent misunderstanding:

I am a big proponent of love over hate, and standing together during divisive times. — tyler posey (@tylergposey) July 30, 2016

[Part 2]: Although I'm not gay, I fully support the LGBTQ community. This was a moment intended to reflect that. — tyler posey (@tylergposey) July 30, 2016
