Nassib added that he had agonized for the past 15 years about whether to publicly come out, and that only recently he felt it was possible to make the announcement. 'I actually hope that one day, videos like this and the whole coming out process are not necessary, but until then I will do my best and my part to cultivate a culture that's accepting and compassionate.' I just think that representation and visibility are so important,' Nassib said in the post.
'I'm a pretty private person so I hope you guys know that I'm not doing this for attention. Nassib also announced he is donating $100,000 to The Trevor Project, a nonprofit that provides suicide and crisis prevention services to LGBTQ youth.
