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

[Namie-Knowles]

The way most comments in here are thirst comments and the only comment saying "Queer waiting" has -10 but people keep coming in here to White Knight "I can't believe everyone in here is saying he's Queerbaiting!" Sends so bad. Just say y'all want some Internet points and go 

 

Anyways, Shawn take your time. While it does suck that people pester you with stupid or personal questions all the time and want to know more about you, that is what it means to be a public figure I fear. Just ignore the haters and enjoy your riches.

Damn, gays really eat their own huh. 

 

I wouldn't wanna come out to a bunch of vultures either. The very community you'd think would be able to empathize with you and support you.

[Ryan]

It’s incredibly unfortunate that he wasn’t given the space and time to figure this out privately. I feel bad for him. Millions of people calling you gay because you have feminine mannerisms. Hope he navigates the rest of his journey healthily and with support. 

[LegaMyth]

Why do gays harass people they think might be gay? It's absolutely disgusting. Us gays cry about acceptance and policies that may hurt us, but we hurt each just as badly. Whether he is bi, gay, str8, etc... WE DO NOT stand a chance of neing with him. Let it TF GO.

 

Some of you think that you can harass someone into being with you. HE DOESN'T WANT YOU!!!

This is basically confirmation. No straight guy would even entertain the idea of this random speech. That is okay, it's best to say "I'm figuring it out" (even if it means I'm not ready to come out yet) than pretending to be straight and having a beard when it's just so painfully obvious. Either way, bullying is not justified. Let him speak out when he wants to.

If he were gay I hope he doesn't fall into the same trap the others do. 
 

1. Become some overtly sexual Jezebel spirit because they want to tarnish the image of gay men to the public for clout and attention (Troye, lil nas,  Sam smith, soon to be David Archuleta)

2. Marries some creepy old man (Colton underwood, Tom daley)

3. Marries his identical twin (everyone else)

 

Please rise above the horrible canon event. You can do it

yall are kind of being disgusting here  yeah the shawn gay jokes have been fun but now it's clear that coming out could actually be something he's been struggling with, it's obvious he's had some mental health issues over the past few years

 

if he finally does come out what are yall gonna talk about then?

The bi erasure here 

[Bad_vocal_technique]

Bullying people over their struggles with sexuality is wrong. 

[tiejc]

Good for him

[Riot]

He had a taste of the Camilussy and said no more

[CristianGarcia]

Some of yall are ignorant. Especially being gay yall selves. 
 

He may be slow on the process of discovering himself but we know some ppl NEVER come to terms with their sexuality and hurt ppl in the process. So kudos to him…

oh lord him too? not another demonic sex gay. ive had enough

[Album Leak]

I hope he has the right people around him who truly care about him during this time of his life that seems extremely vulnerable and confusing. 

[BrokenMachine]

I also pretend 'I don't know yet' to avoid public scrutinity for actually being a closeted bisexual

As I can tell by this thread, they will be horny or try to shoot their shot with him…. @Cesarbeen preparing for this moment (I support him!)

 

but I hope he doesn't feel pressured or anything and takes his time. I am glad he feel comfortable enough to share his feelings

Now, this is a really great step, I hope all of you who bullied him into this will stop the lashings for a while 

[P.O.P]

Oh he is one flop away from his inevitable Kim Petras collab

Unlike Troye and Sam, this will do wonders for his career. Everyone has been waiting so long for him to serve something interesting.

I don't see it coming for David, I think he'll just stay on the sexy line

He flopped and suddenly he's not sure if he's straight. Hmmmmm..  wonder why

I mean, wbk he didn't want to get out of the closet because his career would have been on a great risk. Now that he's a major flop, he's got nothing to lose

I mean this is basically coming out right lol no non-gay person would say all this 

Yea MTE. No straight person would say this, early in his career Justin got the same accusations but he never made such statements. Straight guys just say "Oh wow I'm flattered, but I like girls" and shrug it off. That said Shawn should be given the space and respect to tell us more in his own timeframe.
