After Victor Salazarcame out as gayinLove, Victor’s season 1 finale, fans will finally get to see the next chapter in his story.
“I want to tell people. I’m ready,” Victor says. “No more hiding who I am.”
Though Victor and Benji walk confidently through the halls of Creekwood High while holding hands, the trailer hints at some of the challenges of the coming out process. As Victor reveals that his own mother, Isabel (Ana Ortiz), can “barely look” at him, the next scene shows Isabel being startled after she catches Victor and Benji sharing a kiss.

Victor then questions what “the perfect level of gay” is that he can meet in order to “keep everyone happy” around him. He adds, “I’m too gay to be in the locker rooms, but I’m not gay enough for Benji and his friends.”
Victor’s father, Armando (James Martinez), admits to Isabel that their eldest son’s sexuality is “a lot for me to wrap my head around.” When Isabel asks whether he believes he will ever accept it, Armando says: “He’s my son and it’s who he is. I have to.”
