Bullied by Ignorance
In 2014, Eric McCormack participated in a promotional video for “My Life My Power” in which he revealed painful memories of being bullied in his youth. In sixth grade, he and his closest male friend were restrained by bullies and forced to “participate in a mock wedding— to each other.” Despite being straight, McCormack was called gay slurs because “of course, when two guys are that close… they must be gay.”
