How To Get Away With Murder’ Star Is Glad You Like His Steamy Gay Sex Scenes

"I think it’s great that people are relating to Connor and other characters on the show on a lot of different levels. And the fact that there are members of the LGBT community, and friends of the community, that are feeling just pleased and happy to see a character on TV that is depicted in maybe a positive light, I think that’s great. I don’t know that I feel a responsibility necessarily. I think for me at the end of the day, it’s a job and I just go in and I’m glad that Pete [Nowalk]’s written a real honest character. I try to do my best each day to take it and run with it.

I am glad that people are talking about it and that it’s sparked the conversation. I think that that’s the aim of entertainment. And if we can have a dialogue about it, it can become more accepted. TV is sort of catching up and it’s been very black and white what we’ve seen on the screen and very paranormative and patriarchal and I think that now that we’re exploring it, it’s something that’s being talked about which is great. And even now, there’s a lot of content being made that is shedding an honest light on who people are and real people and at the end of the day that’s what Pete [Nowalk] has created. Real people. And that’s fantastic.”

– Jack Falahee, who plays gay law student Connor Walsh on ABC’s How To Get Away With Murder, in an interview with E!

The depiction of gay romance (and sex) in television and films is one of the most wonderful and powerful ways to change peoples hearts and minds about the nature of gay/SGL people.  When 'not-gay' people can see us for what we are, they can begin to overcome their preconceived notions and prejudices about us and realize that we are all the same... Only human.
