Scream's Bex Taylor-Klaus Comes Out as Gay

Bex Taylor-Klaus, one of the stars of MTV’s Scream series, has come out as gay.

The 22-year-old actress, who has also been seen on The Killing, tweeted to her fans before starting a YouNow stream to answer questions.

“hello my name is bex and yes the rumors are true I am v gay,” she tweeted.

One fan asked Bex is she was scared to come out during today’s times.

“Terrified, absolutely terrified,” Bex said (according to AutoStraddle). “Part of why I’m coming out is because there’s so much hate and fear in and around the LGBT community right now and it’s important for us not to halt progress out of fear. Yes, it’s a scary time, but we need to stand up and say, even if you are afraid, I’m not afraid, or even if I am afraid, I’m strong. I am who I am and you can’t take that away from me.”
