Currently appearing in his first season of Below Deck, Tyler Walker has openly discussed his sexuality on-air while also admitting that this conversation had yet to occur within his own conservative home, a matter that has now been resolved. In a recent Below Deck episode, viewers met Trussy, a drag persona of one of their charter guests, John. As Trussy performed on deck, Tyler cheered loudly, leading to a confessional afterward of the stew discussing his sheltered upbringing in a Methodist high school, labeling it as a very “homophobic environment.” At the time of filming, Tyler had yet to tell his family he’s gay.
