Come Out & Play: Marco from Degrassi Part 9

by Lyndsey Darcangelo

Since Friday’s post was about me and my Labor Day Vacation, I’ve moved the Come Out & Play series post to today! I’m back from North Carolina and ready to get back to posting. I apologize to those of you I kept in great suspense … here is the final part of Marco’s coming out story!

Today’s Come Out & Play post spotlights Marco, a well-known character from the hit show, Degrassi.

Basically, Degrassi is a totally awesome show! (That’s my inner 80’s child coming through!) There’s an openly gay character on the show named Marco DelRossi. His inner struggle with coming out was made into a two-part episode a couple of years ago. It was brilliantly scripted and just as wonderfully acted. Other episodes followed, revolving around his coming out to his family and friends. I thought I’d show it as a series, breaking it down in video clips from YouTube.

Remember the days when you’d watch a film in class, knowing you wouldn’t have to sit through another lecture for at least a week because that’s how long it would take to get through the film in the amount of time the class allotted. Well, think of this as a Come Out & Play 101 film! It’s broken up into nine parts.

(If you are confused and missed the introduction of Marco’s story, go here for a refresher. To view the other parts of Marco’s story, click on the Come Out & Play category on the right hand side to watch parts 1-8!)

This is the final part of Marco’s story:

I hope you enjoyed this series involving Marco from Degrassi.

Tune in every Friday for the Come Out & Play series, featuring coming out stories of celebrities, every day people, personal reflections, advice, tid bits and everything else concerning the complicated world of coming out!

Got an interesting coming out story to tell? Contact me and I will feature it in an upcoming post of Come Out & Play.

    Lyndsey, I just stopped by to say I expect to have a busy fall schedule so may not be able to stop by every day. But I will when I can.

    Best, Deb
