When charismatic singer Ariana Grande launched her first single in over a year "No Tears Left to Cry," McHale made a controversial statement regarding the song and his own personal life.

McHale announced that he is gay, and thanked Ariana Grande for inspiring him to 'come out'. The person he has been photographed with is his boyfriend and the actor has been receiving warm messages of support and congratulations from thousands of fans.

In 2016, McHale joined the cast of the critically acclaimed mini-series When We Rise where he portrayed AIDS activist Bobbi Campbell. The series focuses on the history of the modern gay rights movement from 1969 to the present day.

It is important to note, that even today it is still a struggle for men and women to 'come out' and assume an alternate gender affinity and lifestyle. McHale's bold statement will certainly empower many men and women to take courage and claim their own freedom.
