This is the Queerty Interview, where we bring you conversations with the most exciting LGBTQ+ voices in entertainment, activism, and beyond. I’m Cameron Scheetz, Entertainment Editor at Queerty, and today’s episode takes us behind the scenes of HBO’s The Gilded Age with actor, comedian, and Broadway star Claybourne Elder.
Known for his role as John Adams in the period drama, Elder reflects on portraying a queer character in 1890s New York, the emotional impact of John’s storyline, and the importance of telling our own stories on screen.
From navigating on-set relationships to rejecting industry pressure to hide his sexuality, Elder opens up about authenticity, representation, and the friendships that last long after the cameras stop rolling. Queerty’s Ian Helms, sits down with Claybourne for this thoughtful and heartfelt conversation.
