It will be full of housing for LGBT youth in need. He still has a big presence at the center, spending time with current youth members, listening to them, giving them advice, and now, as the center is about to open its brand new state of the art facility. “This is my job, but when I’m happiest, what makes me feel successful is when I can use this gift I’ve been given in order to advance the cause of LGBT equality and help people understand that they are perfect and loved exactly as they are,” he said. He’ll perform on it again in May for another fundraiser event. He’s now on the CBS show Star Trek: Discovery, and just wrapped up season three of 13 Reasons Why.Įver since he was able, he’s been giving back to this place that’s given him so much, performing on this very stage at a benefit 17 years ago. My So-Called Life took off, as did his career. He’d shower here, eat here, even eventually get help from a therapist here. In a quest to be surrounded by people who did accept him, Wilson found the Los Angeles LGBT Center, the largest LGBT organization in the world. “He kicked me out of the house,” he said. So there was one really important person to come out to: his father.
“I was playing what would be the very first openly gay character played by an openly gay actor, but I had to become an openly gay actor first,” he said. That was 1993, before his acting career took off with his role on My So-Called Life. “I had to find a way to fend for myself,” he said. As actor Wilson Cruz walked around one of the rooms at the Los Angeles LGBT Center, talking to one of the youth members, he was flooded with memories of his time here.
