'Glee' Star Darren Criss I'm Straight ... But Also, 'Culturally Queer'
Darren Criss says he's more than just an ally for the LGBTQ+ community -- he actually identifies with them deeply in his heart ... going so far as to say he's "culturally queer."
The 'Glee' star was at an expo over the weekend in Chicago, where he was asked about his starring role as Blaine Anderson in the hit show -- and what he thought it meant for representation to portray an openly gay character on a major network.
Darren remembers his work on 'Glee' quite fondly -- saying it was awesome to play a gay guy ... and that he's proud he was able to put a spotlight on an underrepresented group.
