The Cast of the New 'Queer as Folk' Celebrate LGBTQ+ Allies | PEOPLE

As Peacock debuts a reimagining of the landmark LGBTQ+ series 'Queer As Folk,' two of its stars, Johnny Sibilly and Devin Way, pay homage to allies in their lives.

Sibilly says his longtime manager, Lisa Filipelli, has long guided him toward his true self, even while finding his footing in Hollywood. "It is so important for queer people to have the chance to have our stories told," Sibilly says. "With Lisa in my corner,I don't have to worry about being anything other than who I am. And even if I don't book a straight role ever again, I will be happy knowing that I've played great queer people."

Way, who previously appeared on 'Grey's Anatomy' and is celebrating his first Pride this year as an out gay man, brought along Shayne Davis. The two met as models in Dallas. "I was very much in the closet, when we met, religiously so," Way, 30, remembers, "Shayne gave me permission to be messy, to be all of me. He told me what I needed to hear at that moment: 'It's going to be okay.' Then I realized, 'I don't have to be afraid anymore.'"
