During the Vulture Festival reunion of the HBO series with creator Michael Lannan, producer John Hoffman, Lauren Weedman, and Frankie J. Alvarez, Groff said being a part of it was "like therapy." He mentioned that, despite initial hesitation, participating in the Pride parade with Alvarez was a significant moment for him, reflecting on how the show helped him embrace his identity. The transformative experience of being on the show allowed him to rediscover and celebrate being gay.
Groff shared a poignant memory, recalling his initial discomfort with the idea of being in the Pride parade. He revealed, "I didn't feel comfortable to even be in the parade that year," but felt a surge of joy when he actually participated: "I remember being with [Alvarez] on the front of that car and going like, 'Oh my God, this is fucking amazing.' This encapsulated his journey of self-acceptance and joy through the series.
