Tyler Posey Is Sorry For His Fake Coming Out

On Friday, Michael linked to a Snapchat video of Tyler Posey from Teen Wolf  shouting that he’s “gay” while standing in front of a street sign for Gay St. in Manhattan. When people sent Tyler the customary “Welcome to Gay!” coming out gift basket containing lube, an overpriced tank top, and a Golden Girls Season 1 blu-ray, he must have realized that people didn’t know he was joking. Tyler made it clear that his “coming out” was only a joke by posting an Anchorman-inspired video of him coming out as a “lamp.” If you missed Tyler’s dumb videos the first time around, here they are:

After Tyler got a lot of hate from people mad that he “mocked” coming out, since coming out is hard, he tweeted a “sorry if I offended you” apology: 

I am a big proponent of love over hate, and standing together during divisive times.

[Part 2]: Although I’m not gay, I fully support the LGBTQ community. This was a moment intended to reflect that.

And everyone, I am truly sorry to the people I’ve offended or lessened how big coming out is. I just want to spread love in this world.

I actually bought it as a “Yuck, yuck, I’m on Gay Street. Dude, that sign says Gay St. You live on Gay St.!” moment but if you need to class it up, I understand. My only question is, are you going to use that Golden Girls blu-ray? I want that.
