In one of the public service announcements, a guy talks about being bullied since the third grade. According to E! News, then Shay Mitchell from Pretty Little Liars asks, ”How would you feel if others treated you like you didn’t belong at school, on your sports team, at church or even in your own home?
Wearing a dark suit, Vinny says, ”Millions of gay and transgender youth are made to feel like they don’t fit in everyday.”

Awwwe! Isn’t it obvious why PLL fans just melt for Mitchell?
AfterEllen tried to get some spoilers on the upcoming summer finale from Mitchell.
“I wish I could tell you! There’s a lot of action,” she offers. “I always say that every episode is like a feature film condensed into however long it is…but [in] this season finale there is so much action in it,” Shay said. “It was so much fun for me. My ideal future job would be action/Bond movie running in heels with a big gun. Getting to do any sort of action in the show is so much fun for me and there was a lot of it. A lot of it! The girls also have a lot of scenes together, which is really cool, too. I really want to talk to everybody after the season finale and say ‘I told you! Wasn’t it crazy?’”
Mitchell also shared hr excitement about the special upcoming Halloween episode, which will air October 19 and offer us a rare look back to before Allison’s disappearance! Not only will viewers get a rare look at the pre-pilot living Allison, but can we hope for some expansion on the Emily’s secret crush on her, that’s been hinted at in previous episodes through flashbacks?
Mitchell confirms it’s in the special Halloween episode. “You will! It is flashbacks and even in a couple of the flashbacks you’ve seen in previous episodes you see Emily’s affection for Allison like in the library scene where she kisses her and you just get to see that in the flashback and why she was so hurt when Allison disappeared. So, yeah, it’s really nice this scene she has with Allison,” she said.
