OUT AND OUT GAY | Guillermo Diaz
Guillermo Diaz is a proud gay man. He told Out magazine in 2011 that his difficult upbringing in New York City, during which he concealed his sexuality to avoid becoming a target, helped him become a better actor. He stated, ” “I went to Bronx High School. I learned to try to hide the fact that I was gay at all costs. The acting was definitely aided by the facade of being someone I’m not just to protect myself.” He was selected one of the top 100 gays, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals in the world by OUT Magazine in 2013.
Daz has stated that he is a Madonna admirer on several occasions. Except for The Virgin Tour and The Who’s That Girl Tour, he has attended all of her concerts.
