Kailyn Lowry’s son, Isaac, who now goes by the name Elliott, recently came out and revealed that he is gay. It was not an easy journey for him because he did not get to reveal his identity on his own terms. Elliott, on Kailyn’s recent podcast, revealed that someone leaked his prom photos on the internet. This compelled him to share his side of the story. He wanted to take his time, but by then, many people had gotten to know about his sexuality and were confused.
So, he thought that he owed his fans, or more like people who have seen him grow over the years, an explanation. This is why he decided to come out and talk about being gay. He also talked about how his father, Jo, and their family reacted to this news. He was prepared that his grandparents would be shocked, and he was mentally anticipating their reaction. However, he did not imagine that he would be in such emotional distress, especially when people backstabbed him one after another.
