Fans of the DC TV universe will know Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West/Kid Flash, who’s become an increasingly important part of the show since he first showed up partway through Season 2. Now the actor has decided it’s time to let the world know that he is bisexual.

He revealed the news via an Instagram post, saying, “I like girls, & I like guys (yes)… Spent way too many years hating myself, thinking I was less valuable because I was different.. which is just untrue. A couple years ago I was able to accept myself, & it saved my life, but now I’ve gotten to a new road block & I feel kind of lost.”

However, he’s pushing through that, saying, “I gotta take the next step & actually embrace who I am, which is pretty exciting. Not faking shit anymore, not apologising for falling in love with people no matter their gender. I’ve become bored of being insecure, ashamed, scared… no one should feel like that about themselves, especially when there is so much good life to live. Ya know more & more I see so many young people being their best / truest selves, it’s fucking inspiring… so what have I been waiting for!? Who knows.”

Lonsdale thankfully got a lot of support on social media, which saw him later taking to Twitter to say, “Nothing better than happy tears. The love is beyond measurable, thank you. Don’t forget to give that same love back to yourselves x”.
