He sounds almost in pain? Or is it just me projecting my past feelings? Either way, I’m happy that all the fans cheered for him, it probably felt like a giant hug

We don't need to protect him from anything. He is a public persona and this comes with their job. People are free to say horrible things about Katy or Taylor but can't simply question his sexuality when he is the one fueling rumors? That moralism is questionable (and that selective empathy too)

Shawn Mendes threads always follow the same pattern. Hilarious memes followed by people saying we should stop calling him gay, and then discourse with scattered jokes

So basically what he is saying that this is a promo for his coming out of the closet as a promo for his new album coming out.

well done :vegas:

I'm fully on board with folks needing to leave him alone to work on whatever in private. It does get to a point where its gross. 

But like sis. Don't talk about it in public to everyone, you'll only make it worse 💀

Hm does it really take so long tho :gum: isn’t he in his mid twenties?

jokes aside I don’t understand what stops him from coming out, we don’t live in a time a gay male pop star would lose his career and status, at this point in his career he would only benefit from that

if he’s indeed gay or bi, his family and close friends probably know by now and his fans would be very happy about it actually

A lot of kids in high school called him gay apparently, here in Canada. So he probably has some internalized homophobia (if he actually is gay / bi / queer). 

Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time.

I feel like he's afraid of saying "I'm straight" because he knows there will be negative discourse about it. Gay men online have already decided that Shawn Mendes is not straight, regardless of whether or not he actually is :poot:

Any comment he could possibly make about his sexuality, other than "I'm gay" will be met with either mockery, or accusations of internalized homophobia, etc. In his mind, a non-answer like this, is probably the only way to respond without being accused of lying, etc. 

I'm not gonna lie, I laughed my ass off with all the jokes about his sexuality years ago, I thought the memes were hilarious, etc. But it got to a point where it is clear the person in question is not in on the joke, and the whole thing is probably affecting his mental health. 

It feels like a Raini Rodriguez scenario to me: it was funny at first, haha, hehe, "fiesta salsa quinceañera", until it stops being funny because it's low-key ruining her life :huntyga:. Yes, I thought Shawn Mendes was gay when I first knew about him, his voice reminded me of that guy from Years & Years. But to be honest, he has only presented himself as straight, and it really isn't my place to investigate him :vegas:

There is a difference between "getting gay vibes" from a person, and straight up demanding they come out of the closet, exclusively because of these "vibes" you get from them. It's weird :selena:

Pink, for instance, gives me gay vibes. She looks pretty gay to me. But she's married to a man, and has said that she isn't gay, I'm not gonna antagonize her on her own sexuality, only because of the "vibes" I get when I see her :ladyhaha:

There's nothing wrong with thinking Shawn Mendes looks gay. However, acting like we legitimately know what his sexuality is, and demanding he "comes out" is crazy :laughga:

Did his team finally allow him to come out considering it won't hurt his success considering his last release is a flop?
