Zane Phillips Has Discussed His Sexuality Openly on Many Platforms

As he grew up in a small conservative Texan town, with only six in his graduating class, Zane Phillips' sexuality was a part of his life he could only live out in the open once he moved to New York to become a performer.

The opportunity to play queer characters has been a real "blessing" for the star who built his career on being the "bland boyfriend of pretty girls" in theatre productions. He revealed:

"We talk about representation, we talk about matching the identity of the role with the identity of the actor, and as much as it is important for the person watching, it is a blessing for the person playing that role. Suddenly, you get to relax."

For Kim Cattrall's TV son, being queer is more than who he is "attracted to." As he divulged in a June 2023 interview, it is how he moves "through the world."

Phillips's arm is draped around his date's shoulder.

"It's about who my community is and who I choose within my friendships, " he continues, "and the chosen family that we surround ourselves with." He is in good company with stars like his "Fire Island" castmate Margaret Cho paving the way.

"I see this image, and I smile. In my mind, I'm back here at Thunder Cove," Glassman partially captioned an August 2018 photo of Phillips standing on a rock, wistfully staring at the ocean.
