I really hope our show touched a lot of queer kids! After watching our show I hope they can open up and be themselves with anyone and everyone. I got to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community and also got to experience really fun adventures with great people. I feel like I would have an even better experience the second time around.Īlso Read: Emmy Underdogs to Remember, From Elle Fanning to Zoë Kravitz to 'Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist' (Photos)īeing on MTV’s “Are You The One?” was life-changing! I got to learn so much about myself and other people. We are still great friends and talk often, but Jax won’t ever be more than friends. It’s interesting because he came out to LA some months after the show aired and the chemistry and love I had for him were not the same as they were in Hawaii. The biggest regret I have is being so uptight about Justin. I feel like I learned about what I deserve and what traits to avoid or what ones to embrace. I definitely know what I am looking for and what I am not looking for. Has the show changed the way you think about dating? I wish I had this show as a kid, so to be able to be the person on the show that is the example is truly an honor. Having an example or just seeing someone who thinks the same way you do can go a long way. THAT is more rewarding than any amount of fame or prize money. I still get messages today about how my story helped them through coming out and accepting themselves. I hope a kid sees the example set by each one of us, finds comfort, knows that they are totally accepted and there is someone out there who is just like them. What do you hope a queer kid watching takes away from the show? I think their ideas of LGBTQ+ culture might be different after watching the show. I also think it opened a lot of people’s eyes into how normal our own relationships and drama can be. Maybe the one kid out there who needs to see this show hasn’t yet. It will be there forever, and I think that’s the best part. It’s a part of history, and I’m so thankful to be part of it. It gave 16 unique people the platform to tell their story in their own way. I never let myself get in that kind of space with a man before, so doing that on national television helps you become comfortable really quickly. What does it mean to you to have been part of this season?īeing part of MTV’s “Are You The One?” was more than just a “15 seconds of fame” moment.
