We’re now in a culture where reality shows are the norm, and with that we expect an all-access pass to see celebrities—and even those who are not superstars—at their most vulnerable.

I was getting a lot of emails and even people on Twitter saying, ‘Dice, I didn’t know how to come out to my family or you’re just an inspiration or I love you so much’ all the positivity was like the monkey off my back. That’s what truly mattered to me.”
