Prologue:
Darren Criss was a 23 year old man.
Who got a role on a hit tv show called Glee. Getting the role wasn't exactly easy at all. He had to audition twice to get it right.
First, he auditioned for the male lead character, Finn Hudson, a high school student who was the star quarterback. But the director didn't liked him for that specific role, probably because he was too short and had a tiny body, and he didn't seem like the type. Hell, he himself thought the same, but he needed a job, so he went for it anyways. At the end, he wasn't what the director and writers were looking for, so he was cut.
The second time, he auditioned a year later for the role of Blaine Anderson, a young gay teen who was gonna serve as mentor for one of the main characters, named Kurt Hummel. This time he got it right, and the director seemed pleased with him and they hired him.
Now, Darren Criss, was young actor who got himself a kick ass job in a hit tv series. He thought he was pretty much a lucky man, because not a lot of actors got this chance to land on a famous tv show, and certainly not after a short time of graduating out of college.
So, he was very grateful for this, and the opportunity that he was given.
Even if the role he was going to play wasn't going to be around for quite some time, or the fact that he was going to portrait a 'Gay teen' on national television, that didn't matter, because he was very comfortable with his sexuality. Being born and raised in San Francisco really makes you open minded and accepting towards the other people.
People are people, regardless of anything and everything.
So the word "Gay" wasn't an issue for him and more because, well, he was straight.
Who would have thought that his life was going to change so drastically after a few months of working on Glee?
...
Certainly not him.
