“The Hard Life of RJ Berger” star Paul Iacono is out and proud and tells MTV News: “I’m gay, it’s cool.”

I love that this kid has come out!

Paul Iacono just tweeted this: “Yes I’m gay. And yes, it does get better. #YOLO.” (#YOLO is short for “You Only Live Once.”)

He’s done an interview with MTV News which I’ve posted below.

“I think at the moment, we need to have gay pride, because there are so many people who don’t feel as comfortable as I do,” he says in the interview. “And it’s taken me a very long time to get to be comfortable about it, but it’s our duty to the community to step forward and be vocal. I’m gay, it’s cool.”
