Courtney Revolution made sure you knew who he was in the second season of The Circle, and now he's giving out some advice for LGBTQ+ viewers who are in the closet or trying to figure out who they are.

While speaking on in an upcoming episode of Shifting Her Experience podcast with Sophie and Tiana, Courtney opened up about being on The Circle and how he wanted to present himself in the series.

"I didn't think of my identity before going on the show. I am a black gay man and if I'm going on as that, that's who I am. I didn't think of if I wanted to be too masculine or too feminine, I just wanted to go on as myself," he noted.

He also shared some wisdom to those who have yet to come out.

"Never forget that you’re valuable and you being alive offers something to the world," he said. "Being gay is such a small part of what I offer to the world, so don’t let that be the thing that keeps you up at night or ruins your day. Out of all the people on earth, believe me, you got a handful that love what you bring to the table, so keep serving it up so people can eat"

Check out the Shifting Her Experience podcast on June 15 to find out what else he said on the show. If it's anything like his time in The Circle, you definitely won't want to miss it.
