Following wrapping the lead role in indie film “Reach,” which took a serious look at depression in young people, Clayton came out as openly gay in 2018. He continues to be an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and cohosted a weekly Spotify Live show (two seasons, 60 episodes) with his husband titled “A Gay in the Life,” in which he provided a safe space for listeners to discuss important queer issues, pop culture, and politics, and also interviewed prominent queer individuals and allies. Online, Clayton has garnered over 7 million followers across numerous platforms, and he also has a new music album in the works in collaboration with a number of seasoned songwriters and producers from New York and Nashville.
