"One of the reasons that I jumped into this character with the level of passion that I jumped into [it with] was because in 1997, something happened. Someone was killed…a criminal that went on a killing spree. He was on the list of the most wanted men of the FBI, he was living in Miami Beach, not hiding, and no one caught him," Martin told E! News.
The blatant homophobia in the series gave Martin strength, he said and made him realize "how important it is for the world to accept their identity, their sexual identity, and to share it and normalize this."
