Teen Wolf has an openly gay character!

Teen Wolf, a drama on MTV, welcomes actor Keahu Kahuanui – who will play Danny, the gay best friend of Jackson. He will be introduced in the second episode of the series, Reports 365Gay.com.

Danny’s character is out as gay, and he plays on the school’s lacrosse team. It is not clear yet whether Danny has any supernatural powers of his own.

AfterElton columnist Michael Jensen applauded the show’s writers, “Oh, and kudos to Jeff Davis, the show’s out writer, for including a gay character in the show. It’s yet another example of how having gay folks in the writer’s room can make a huge difference,” Jensen writes
