Graceffa stated that the reason he waited so long to come out online was because "there was a lot of hesitation to come out online because of growing up in my town: It wasn't acceptable to be gay; it was looked down upon."
Graceffa teatas, et põhjus, miks ta nii kaua internetis väljatulemisega ootas, oli järgmine: "Mul oli palju kõhklusi, sest kohas, kus ma üles kasvasin, ei olnud gei olemine aktsepteeritav; sellele vaadati ülalt alla."
