Ryan then went on to recall the entire writing process of the film and the times when he used to hear stories about Hollywood from his grandmother. During that time, Ryan’s grandmother always told him that Rock Hudson was gay; however, Ryan felt like that is just another person like him who can’t be free either. Later on, Ryan Murphy mentioned the time he heard about Rock Hudson’s death, Ryan said he was in college at the time and wanted to cover his story as it was the first big death from AIDS at the time; however, he dropped the idea. Ryan further added that there were several such personalities whose lives he was fascinated by and did not get to explore much. However, due to the film, he had the opportunity to do this and was happy to take up the opportunity. In conclusion, Ryan Murphy mentioned that if Rock Hudson would have come out as gay in the 70s and still be successful, he as a young boy would not have felt so alone. Ryan mentioned that he would not have to struggle anymore if a mainstream star had come out in their prime. Hence, this series for Ryan Murphy is something powerful, according to an entertainment portal.
