The actor called out the speculation on Instagram.
The actor posted a message on
calling out the "dangerous" behaviour he's seen of people questioning an individual's sexual orientation online., Williams explained how the practice is particularly harmful for those who may be struggling with their identity."Usually I wouldn't address stuff like this, but I feel like it as a conversation is bigger than me," Williams began.
"Overanalysing someone's behaviour in an attempt to 'catch' them directly contributes to the anxiety a lot of queer and queer-questioning people feel when they fear living in their truth," he continued. "It makes the most pedestrian of conversations and interactions in spaces feel less safe for our gay brothers and sisters and those who may be questioning."
Williams, who plays first-grade teacher Gregory Eddie on the hit ABC show, went on to explain how this commentary additionally reinforces outdated archetypes which limit 'individual expression" and freedom.
