celeb news Shawn Mendes talks about his sexuality; "still figuring it out"

[jeffersonairplanes19]

I still thinks it's insane that people (full grown adults with jobs and mortgages mind you) were pushing labels on a literal high school aged boy and then expected him to be open about it and got mad at him for not doing it as if he had time in his life to figure out anything.  Like imagine having to debate your personal life with adults (and not just any adults literal strangers on the internet who are also lusting after you) at like 16/17

The gays only want to claim the hot ones. If Ed Sheeran was femme this obsession with him wouldn't even exist.

[Solaria]

He's lying. He's playing into the speculation because it's the only thing still keeping him relevant.

[BODERLINE]

I wish people would just leave him alone and stop pestering him about — regardless of whatever his sexuality is/ends up being. 

 

I hated any speculation about my own sexuality in high school, and that was like max four people. I cannot even imagine hundreds of people constantly bringing it up every single day. 

[GoodGuyGoneGhetto]

Ya'll need to just leave this Man alone.

 

Goodness grief. 
 

 

Also, BISEXUALITY exists, and that just may be what he is. Either way, who cares. 

[MoonGoodandHappy]

wait until he comes out as gay one day and suddenly gays here will turn their backs on him. lots of gays just want straight men.

aww u can tell he was hesitating and htinking in his mind "am I really going to say this...am I"  

 

wishing him luck in his journey and if he needs a helping hand...I can always provide it  

[Iceland]

So true sis. If he was femme he'd probably put some effort into his appearance though, but there's only so much yassification can achieve sadly.

do you think it's related to the pushback of his album because of no attention so he's scrambling

[gagalips]

The guy saying "oh no" in the video has me HOLLERING  

[Outlaws]

He didn't really come out as much as much as he just said he's "figuring it out" which he also intentionally phrased in a way to conflate it with figuring out life in general so I wouldn't get hopes up too high he could literally just still be straight

[Bentendo]

Lemme give his new song a stream 

[Ratviolo]

As someone who came to terms with my sexuality sort of late (around 22-23), I fully empathize with him. We'll wait for you on the other side, Shawn

we support you shawn

[Witnessed ET]

I'm sorry but the guitar strumming with the speech is killing me 

 

in  all seriousness though, people need to leave this man alone. Any level of speculation is not good for anyone's confidence level in this matter. Whether he is sexually fluid or not, let him figure out without strangers chiming in every single day.

That's very true actually.

Shawn will be his most successful once he's 100% honest with who he is and embraces it fully.

 

rooting for him!

If anything, his career will suffer even more. He'll lose the female audience, his most important buying demographic. And its not like he can rely on the queer community either, they're notorious for turning their back on most male celebrities after they've come out. 

[Abracadabra]

Well y'all finally bullied him into it 

 

Good for him tho

[Maroonx]

girl plz, you know you've served a D quite a few times x

Nah at this point he is just queer baiting knowing well that it's the gays who are the most loyal fan base... give it up. 

Gays will never be the most loyal fan base. Women are the most loyal fan base.

Bicurious - Pansexual - Full on Gay.

 

Oh Shawn, you have my blessing!
