CONNOR
portrayed by troye sivan

---

this is one of my favorite chapters in this short story if i were to be honest. if you're gay and reading this, know that you are loved. sure, some people may be homophobic and have everything against your sexuality, but never ever feel distressed because of what people think of you. don't be afraid to show who you are and just be yourself.

GAY IS TOTALLY OKAY.

also, did you see what i did there (connor franta as troy & troye sivan as connor)?

TRONNOR IS REAL. #LoveWins
