Damian was one of the main characters in the movie, if you remember, he was good friends with Janis and was one of the first people Cady Heron, played by Lindsay Lohan, meets on her first day at North Shore High School.

A decade after the 2004 release of 'Mean Girls', Franzese came out as gay in a letter that he wrote to Damian saying. "I wished I’d had you as a role model when I was younger. It might’ve been easier to be gay growing up. You WERE beautiful in every single way and words couldn’t bring you down."

Franzese continues to act, do comedy, and is an activist for the LGBTQ community. Most recently he was a guest judge on 'RuPaul's Drag Race', and he played an HIV-positive character in the HBO series 'Looking'.

Founded in 2018 by Charlynn Chenal, Aribella’s Boutique is named after her daughters Arielle and Izabella. The Boutique sells trendy clothes, shoes, and fashion accessories, you can check out a sample of what they sell here.
