Colton Haynes Blasts 'F**ked Up' Hollywood For Its Treatment Of Gay Stars

More than a year after coming out as gay , Colton Haynes is still struggling with mainstream Hollywoods limited view of the LGBTQ community.

On Monday, the 29-year-old Teen Wolf and Arrow star opened up about his frustrations in a series of fiery tweets. Blasting Hollywood as fucked up, Haynes argued that the movie industry emphasized actors personal lives over their actual talent.

Hollywood is so fucked up. So much of the focus is on your personal life & has nothing to do with the talent you have to bring to the table

Colton Haynes (@ColtonLHaynes) August 30, 2017

It should be noted that each of those Hollywood heavyweights are openly gay and have played critical roles in Haynes career. Davis, 42, is the creator of Teen Wolf, while Berlanti, 45, was an executive producer of Arrow. Meanwhile, Haynes appeared in Scream Queens , and will have a recurring role American Horror Story: Cult , both of which were co-created by Murphy, 51.

The actor then concluded:

So disappointed in how Hollywood cant understand that playing a character has nothing to do with how u live your personal life

So disappointed in how Hollywood cant understand that playing a character has nothing to do with how u live your personal life
Colton Haynes (@ColtonLHaynes) August 30, 2017

Its unclear what triggered Haynes tweets, especially since both his career and personal life appear to be on the upswing. The actor appeared alongside Scarlett Johansson and Kate McKinnon in Rough Night , which hit theaters in June, and returns to TV Sept. 5 with American Horror Story: Cult.

In March he revealed on Instagram that he and Jeff Leatham , an artistic director and florist, had gotten engaged in Los Cabos, Mexico.

Speaking to HuffPost in June , Haynes said his career became the best its ever been in the year since hed come out in an Entertainment Weekly interview . Ive been told by so many people that you cannot be out and have a career. Literally people would set me up with girls for press, he said . Now I live a more free and open life. Its nice people have now started giving me work because of it, and its been really awesome.

His criticisms of Hollywood's limited view of the queer community, however, are not without merit. GLAADs 2017 Studio Responsibility Index found that only 18.4 percent of 125 major movies released in 2016 featured characters who identified as LGBTQ.
