Thomas Dekker’s coming out didn’t exactly go as planned—he was unexpectedly outed by Heroes co-executive producer Bryan Fuller during a speech at Outfest. However, Dekker turned the experience into a positive, saying it gave him the push to fully embrace his authentic self. He told Variety at the time:
“Everyone has their journey and I hated that mine was taken away from me in a way. But it was also this kind of a weird fucked up blessing because it opened the door for me to just be fully who I am.”

On his Instagram, Thomas updates his followers with his artistic poses that are often accompanied by powerful and inspiring captions. Just check out Dekker’s post captioned by an excerpt from Frisk by Dennis Cooper (1991).
“They kept calling me ‘that.’ One would ask, ‘What does that taste like?’ and ‘What’s the temperature inside that?’ and the other would say, ‘Really great,’ or whatever. It made me feel weird. It made me realize I’m important to certain people. I don’t have to do anything. Being pretty or young or whatever’s enough. Sometimes… I wish I could just sort of temporarily die. Guys could move me around, whatever. I wouldn’t have a first name, just a surface. Like pillows. They don’t have individual names. They don’t mean anything, but people sleep with them. I think I’d feel a lot happier, though I despise that word, ‘happy.’ It’s such a lie. When your parents—’Hey, wait!’ He blinked a couple of times. The ceiling was totally in focus. ‘God, I’m sober.’ He propped himself up on his elbows. ‘What about you?'”
