In an interview, he stated,

"I would say that what you are in society is important: It is important that I'm a black, gay director. But more important is who you are. If you're caught up with what you are and what society thinks you are, it's never going to not feel like hell. You've got to put more investment in celebrating and understanding and having care for who you are, what your needs are, what you truly love."

He truly believes if you accept your inner self rather than focusing on what people would think, you will garner enough courage to come out. Justin came out as gay in 2014 in an Award function. He even makes movies tackling this kind of issues, and that's why he has a huge fan following.

“I moved into a space where I’m a writer/director, my movie is a hit at Sundance, I have a wonderful loving boyfriend, and wow, I have financial stability. Why can’t I get out of bed still? It made it even worse, because there’s nothing else I want. This is what I’m born to do. I’m living my purpose, I’m paying my rent, what’s missing?"
