Actress and Girl Meets World  star Rowan Blanchard opened up to fans on her Twitter about her sexuality, telling them that while she's create herself mostly attracted to boys, she identifies as queer and refuses to be labeled. 

"In my existence – only ever liked boys," she wrote in a tweet draft she screencapped. "However I personally don't wanna label myself as straight, gay or whateva so I am not gonna give myself labels to stick with – just existing."

If you were on a certain part of the Internet around 2015, Rowan Blanchard’s reputation might precede her. At age 14, the then-Disney Channel luminary wrote an essay on the importance of intersectional feminism which went viral, and wrote regularly for Rookie magazine. She gave a speech on feminism and gender equality at the UN Women and US National Committee’s annual conference that alike year, as a member of #TeamHeForShe, which Emma Watson also lead. Time magazine named her one of the most influential teens of 2015. Suddenly, she was looked to as an activist, incredibly poised, articulate and ready to shake things up. That spotlight hasn’t been without its pressures, causing Rowan to state in interviews that she had to reevaluate the role of social media and that form of online activism in her life.

As Paige, the lead in Hulu’s new homosexual rom-com Crush, which releases on Friday, Blanchard plays a slightly awkward elevated schooler who is struggling with her application to a summer arts program. She’s witty and funny with her friends, but hopelessly tongue-tied around her crush, and Blanchard delivers both tones — and everything in between — with clear-eyed

Rowan Blanchard had to deal with a lot of haters after going universal with something very private.

In January, the 14-year-old star of the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World opened up about her sexuality for the first time on social media, saying she identified as "queer."

"In my life—only ever liked boys," she said. "However I personally don't wanna label myself as straight, homosexual or whateva so I am not gonna give myself labels to stick with—just existing;)"

She told Wonderlandmagazine in an interview published this week that she received several inaccurate comments about her tweets, while other responses were borderline homophobic.

"I'm okay with it now, but I still understand that I was allowing people to comment on something that's very personal," she said. "The first day I tweeted about it, it was definitely scary to spot people commenting about things that literally have nothing to do with them."
