“Back in like 2008, I made a video about the importance of being authentic to yourself and about coming out and how you should wait till your ready and things like that. And a few years later I got a tweet one morning on National Coming Out Day and it was from Ricky Martin. And he said that that video was part of the reason why he felt ready to share his story,” Tyler shared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Watch the video below!
