When Taylor Frey spoke to The List about the potential impact of "A Christmas to Treasure," he shared, "It would've been cool when we were kids to see this kind of material and these storylines on screen ... knowing how I felt inside but not really seeing myself represented out in the media."
In the movie, Everett shares that he struggled to come out to his parents. When asked if he could relate to his character's experience, Kyle Dean Massey told The List, "Not so much — my [experience] was really wonderful ... But I've lived long enough to experience other people having those issues, so it wasn't anything difficult to tap into. Even still today, we're constantly faced with backlash just being who [we] are."
This backlash has unfortunately affected the couple in real life via social media. "For [us as] two gay men who [have] a child, the comment sections are awful," Frey shared. "It is what it is. I learned in sixth grade not to take anything to heart." Thankfully, the pair isn't letting negativity bring them down as they celebrate the premiere of "A Christmas to Treasure."
