There's no rhyme or reason to coming out as queer, no golden age at which all homos are suddenly visited by the gay stork who bestows a sexual orientation upon them.

Blanchard came out in a response tweet after a fan tweeted "BisexualRileyMatthews2k16," in reference to the character Blanchard plays on Girl Meets World.”
