Stephen Amell Supports Colton Hayne's Coming Out
If only every gay person struggling with their sexuality had a friend like StephenAmell.
I sat down with the actor earlier today while he was promoting his new movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (in theaters June 3) and asked him about his former Arrow co-star Colton Haynes coming out as gay in a magazine article just two weeks ago.
"I'm so happy for Colton," Amell said. "A fan three or four months ago at a Comic-Con convention basically tried to bait me into activity him. I got in touch with [Colton] and was like, 'Hey, guy, this happened [and] I didn't recognize what to tell. I simply deflected and we moved on.'...He emailed me back and said, 'You know, I really appreciate that and I've recently made some decisions over the past few months and I'm excited about what's in the future.' I'm ecstatic for him, too."
Haynes, 27, confirmed his sexuality in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. He also revealed that he check

Oliver Queen becoming mayor to help Star City is from Judd Winick's 2003-2008 run on the "Green Arrow" series.
Also, Emerald Arrow was created in 1941 as just a Batman clone with arrows and continued to be that, with Arrowcaves and Arrowmobiles and the like, for 28 more years until his 1969 reimagining. From 1970 to 1985, Oliver griped about Republican "fat cats" and "The Man", but in 1986, Mike Grell turned Green Arrow into a grim vigilante, much more in line with Grell's own very Conservative beliefs.
This was in the height of the Regan Era and this characterization was a big hit but it kept Oliver isolated from the unwind of the heroes in the DC Universe. After Grell left in 1993, Oliver limped around a few more years until he was killed off in 1995 and replaced by his previously-unknown son.
Hal Jordan brought Oliver back to life in 2001 and writer Kevin Smith brought back a lot of the SLW-ness along with a novel salacious and sexy attitude. Brad Melter followed Smith and concentrated on Oliver's ties to the rest of the DC World. Judd Winick settled in in 2003 for a five-year manage which had a very Liberal Mayor Queen officiating at lgbtq+ weddings!

Chelsea Handler should not just assume that a hunky straight actor minds creature hit on my same-sex attracted men.
Stephen Amell, star of The CW’s Arrow, taught Chelsea that lesson last night when she oddly said: ‘I just yearn to clarify that you are straight and people should not hit on you if they’re men.’
Replied Stephen: ‘People can punch on me if they want to.’
The audience cheered.
Stephen talked about playing a gay spin instructor on the Showtime series Queer As Folk and about being on the first season of Dante’s Cove on HERE TV which I was completely hooked on at the time.
Of Dante’s Cove he said: ‘I was the villain because I was the straight character. I couldn’t do the show the second season and in the second season my character went from not gay to really, really, really gay.’
I remember there was a little bit of controversy over Stephen not returning with it being floated that he was uncomfortable with the character being gay.

"I'm so happy for Colton," Amell told E! News.
"I've seen him struggle with anxiety and that's why he, good certainly one of the reasons why, he left Teen Wolf and he left Arrow. When he came endorse to Arrow this year simply for an episode, it was such a different version of Colton. He and I bonded more. I'm very very happy for him."
