Shawn Mendes bezieht erneut Stellung zu den Gay-Gerüchten

So erklärte er gegenüber der britischen Zeitung:
"There was a desperation for me to come out as being gay, which is such a ridiculous thing. I got upset because I know people who are gay who haven’t come out yet and I know the suffering they experience because of that. It’s just completely ignorant and insensitive of people to be on that s**t!"

Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass sich Shawn Mendes zu diesen Gerüchten äussert. Gegenüber dem Rolling Stone erklärte er 2018 folgendes:
"This massive, massive thing for the last five years about me being gay.      In the back of my heart, I feel like I need to go be seen with someone – like a girl – in public, to prove to people that I’m not gay. Even though in my heart, I know that it’s not a bad thing. There’s still a piece of me that thinks that. And I hate that side of me."

Schon ganz am Anfang seiner Karriere erklärte er zudem:
"First of all, I'm not gay. Second of all, it shouldn't make a difference if I was or if I wasn't. The focus should be on the music and not my sexuality."

Sein neuestes Album "Wonder" ist anfangs Dezember erschienen...
