Burnap has built a career doing stage and film work and has also been open about his fluid sexuality. He cites The Inheritance, which tells the story of gay New Yorkers in the generations following the onset of the AIDS epidemic and is one of the most awarded queer plays in recent history, as helping him become more open about that part of himself. In a 2020 interview with Glamour UK, Burnap says,CMON NOW — rachel zegler (she/her/hers) (@rachelzegler) January 12, 2022
“On a serious note, it’s opened me up to my rather fluid sexuality. I think it’s really given me permission to understand a side of myself that I haven’t given voice to or stepped fully into in my life before this play, which is a really beautiful thing. I very much, before this play, identified as a straight man. I think I’ve benefited from the privilege of being assumed as straight my entire life, but I don’t identify that way. “It’s been interesting to have people assume that I am that, and that’s been difficult for me because I am in a place in my life where I feel like I’m in a space of expansion and stepping into the full version of myself, and certainly through my own sexuality. I’m sort of falling into the category of curiosity, questioning, and trying to understand my full self, and that’s a really vulnerable, scary but also beautiful place to be.”
