After winning the series and hearing that he had been an inspiration to the young LGBTQ+ community, Cameron paid tribute to them in an exclusive interview with Digital Spy.

Cameron said:

It makes the whole four years of trying to work and figure things out kinda worth it, the fact that I’ve finally been able to help some other people through, if I have done, through that themselves. It’s amazing.

Honestly, I’m privileged to have been able to do it. I didn’t plan to do it, but it’s an incredible feeling to know that I helped people out. It’s made everything worth it. I hope that it has inspired people as much as possible.

Lots of people come out every day and they don’t do it on national television. They don’t get the reception that I’ve got, but they all deserve it because it’s an incredible thing and me winning is as much for them as it was for me.
