Shawn Mendes opens up about the rumors he’s gay - “It’s hurtful”

Oh, here we go again...

So now after he got criticized for his responses he’s throwing shade on the publication? The RS interviewer must be reading this with an eyebrow arched all the way to space.

He is really an idiot.

Sorry but someone smarter should have learn the lesson from the disaster that it was his Rolling Stone interview. But no, i't s the rest of the world who don't get poor Shawn.

He is a narcissist and unfortunately for him he doesn't have the talent to support that ego (neither the success). And frankly if he keeps bordering homophobia he'll end crossing the line

How is a straight man not liking being labeled gay homophobic?

He's obviously not matured enough if he can't handle gay rumors.

And he's so obviously not straight.

R4: A straight man? that's a good one.

He is beyond stupid. He should have learn the lesson when he did that video denying being gay.

Sorry mate but you don't deny being gay, you simply live your life and if you are really straight (clearly not this case) people will stop gay rumours with time. But no, he keeps insisting, and his comments keep getting more and more close to what an homophobe will say.

Some people think you are gay? Big deal. Enjoy your life and shut that fuck up

Eh, the truth hurts, princess.

You need to be the victim of a crime, bro. The sympathy will flood in and your price will go up.

I know a lesbian who worked a show he did in Montreal and she said he's honestly the queeniest twink she'd ever met. She said he was just like any other young gay boy in the village with his speech, mannerisms and personality.

Oh, dear!

Oh, DEAR!

Shawn Mendes OPENS UP

Even Bieber handled his secretly a lesbian rumors better than Mendes handles his gay rumors.

The lady doth protest too much.

It'll be quite embarrassing when he finally does come out..

R11: If you learnt the lesson you are clearly not Shawn Mendes

Where the fuck are his PR people? He needs to shut his stupid cunt mouth.

R17: His PR people are the guilty ones on his RS disaster. They simply don't know what they do.

I suppose the backlash was not big enough to him to keep his mouth shut, but if he keeps this nonsense it'll get worse

I now actually hate him, and not just because he is musically devoid of talent.

He needs facepunch, not backlash.

Fangirls in full force

Why does no one want to be associated with us except when they need some Oscar award for award bait gay movie or buy their stupid album?

Fuckin media always forcing their agenda on us! You tell them, Shawn!

I 100% understand and support his pain.

R23: Yes, and you need to be seen with someone like a girl

I was in love with Katie Holmes.

Shawn is not a smart Alec.

He's all man, our Shawn!

dumb ass,,,,,,there goes his career into the shitter.

harry styles handled it so kool…..like whatev man,,, surf on

agree

facepunch into that girly fuk my pumps face

I may be dumb but I'm pretty...right? RIGHT?

Was this thread bumped because the next regular Shawn thread hasn't been started yet?

R31 Awww, yes, you're pretty. You just need to stop stressing so much and pissing people off. Then I'm sure you'll get all the dick you want.

Yes, R32...still waiting.

Thank you, R33...will you be my daddy?

PART 29

I put up with his shit singing cause he cute

forgettabout it honey

u lost half ur fan base ya dumb fuck

He's young, let him be in the closet and live his life, who's he hurting?

r36, everything means nothing if I don't have you

I don't have time to talk about any of this because my mind is completely occupied with thoughts of TIGHT WET JUICY INDESCRIBABLY DELICIOUS LADY HOLE

R39 Just don't look right at it, it will only scare you.

Watch him get ready for the MET Gala

How is it hurtful for a dude? Gay men have good stereotypes - nice looking, well groomed, well dressed, cultured and can dance.

Being labeled a lesbian means you are fat, frumpy and unattractive.

He should take it as a compliment, and say I guess I made it, the gays want me on their team and let it go.

wow, r41, he pings off the charts and I MISSED that Ricky Martin was gay. If I can TELL, cmon.

[Quote] can dance.

I was with you until you said that lol.

Deja View All Over my pants.

Shawn is straight, you queens say he is gay just because he is hot.

Gay? I don't know, honey.

I have no idea what he was trying to say.

R48, do you mean in the clip at R47, or in the OP interview?

[quote] “That was why I was so angry, and you can see I still get riled up, because I don’t think people understand that when you come at me about something that’s stupid you hurt so many other people.”

It’s about time somebody stood up for all the closet cases who are just a tad, shall we say . . . flamboyant, and who have put up with stupid people asking the obvious question that they obviously don’t want to be asked. Cut it out you guys! It’s really nunya.

I meant the OP interview, R49

How are gay rumors so hurtful? Gay rumors aren't rape allegations...

Not entirely clear. Reading between the lines, I doubt he meant to say it was insulting to be called gay. I think he means he and others who may be closet cases should not be asked for private information and otherwise pressured into coming out, because some people have their reasons to be closeted.

stop posting in this old thread you fuckers, part 29 is here

R53, I think you're making too many justifications for Shawn's response.

Cute but dumb as a box of rocks.

Not sure what else he could mean to say. Who are the other people being hurt by asking if he is gay? Is he saying it hurts his fans’ feelings, too? Can he really be that self-centered? (“You not only insult me but you hurt all the people who love to think i’m straight”)

I've seen several fangirls calling out people on Instagram and Twitter lately for saying they think Shawn is gay.

They think it insults his assertion that he is straight.

He's a bottom. I'm sure of it.

I can see maybe it's hurtful because you think he is living a lie? If someone is straight and he is called a closet case gay, I guess you are calling him a liar and someone that isn't honest. I that way I can see maybe it being hurtful calling him gay.

I was out to dinner in NY with a work group awhile back and Shawn was at the next table with a group of people. I admittedly didn’t know who he was until someone at my table told me. I have to say, he is the nelliest twink - every mannerism, every stereotypical cliche. It is beyond laughable if this little queen continues to insist he’s straight. The only people who should be insulted is the gay community because he’s another closet case who is partaking of all the benefits privately but denying it publicly. Shame on you Shawn you goddamn coward.

I just... lol

So hurtful.

I liked when he casually ripped a fuckin' fart

He cuts a fart with the attitude of a hot frat boy. Fuck he's a motherfuckin' stud. I'd love to see him eat pussy. So hot seeing young frat bros lickin' and suckin' on pussy lips.

I'd love to hang with him, playing video games, wearing backwards baseball caps- once in a while we'd hike a leg and cut a rank-ass fart. "Aww you fuckin' REEK dude. Bro you need to take a shit " And crack the fuck up.

Brah!

R61, your observations match those I've read in other places.

One of the guys on the Shawn thread at LPSG also talked about seeing Shawn in person and noticing how much he pinged.

hahaha. so gay.

Why would one feel hurtful if rumored to be gay? It shows his homophobia as if being gay is a negative and being straight a positive identity.

The more things change the more they stay the same. This is why I gave no problem with outing public figures. If there's no problem being gay these days then own it.

He won't be able to come out now. Just keep digging deeper in that closet Shawn it is now your tomb.

Like the kids say - it's irrelevant.

No straight boy would talk about "being seen with a girl or something." Every other thing that comes out of his mouth is a dead giveaway.

She need to quit

R71, I think what Shawn said was "someone like a girl".

This is parody right?

[quote]He won't be able to come out now. Just keep digging deeper in that closet Shawn it is now your tomb.

And when he does finally, at long last, come out, get ready for the flounce heard 'round the world.

He's a homophobic cunt. Of course he gets mad when people think he's gay. Normal people would just laugh off the rumors, or would even find such rumors flattering. Who cares what people think as long as you know the truth and you know there is nothing wrong with being gay.

R4 is a delusional homophobic fangirl. Block her and move on.

Again; QFT

Shawn is so repressed he will probably end up marrying a woman and father a couple of kids until he has a mental breakdown and can't live a lie anymore and finally come out as gay. I've seen this happen so many times. The thing people are missing is that Shawn isn't just closeted, he's still in denial. He has all the signs of someone suppressing their sexuality, hence all the freaking out and borderline homophobia. At this point it will take many many years of him admitting his true self. I don't see this ending well for him. I feel kinda bad for him actually. Can you imagine being this messed up about your sexuality? Like... suppressing your sexuality this much just because you're afraid of what people might think? It doesn't excuse his homophobic outbursts though, he's still a cunt.

Didn't Clay Aiken insist for some time that he was straight? (Statements greeted with equal amounts of skepticism?) These teen idol types need to realize that life will go on and they'll be much happier once they fling those closet doors open.

Fling open the closet door and prance into the light!

Oh honey yes, R81

May Sean soon find Pranceteria. And the correct spelling of his name.

fuck him and his fantards.

R4 In what world he's a straight man?

I absolutely LOVE when they turn on you old queens and then you come to DL and bitch. LOL

What a little pussy willow.

#87 kiss our pussyholes andi die.

r27 is an asshole for bumping this old ass thread making people relive old news because she was too cheap or lazy to start part 29 of the Shawn Mendes saga. We were moving on from the Rolling Stone bullshit

He really deserves to have no fans.

R90 why so upset? You sound pathetic

R90 Not everyone follows those bs saga threads of every closeted celebrity.

Shawn has mannerisms, that doesn't mean he is attracted to men sexually. They dont go hand I hand.

Being effeminate doesn't mean one is gay. Hell, even in the Bible "effeminate" men are distinguished and spoken about separately from the homosexuals.

^ Name one effeminate man who is not gay.

Perhaps a nice girl with a strap-on will get Shawn past his problems.

R90 Needs to get the fuck over herself and realize that no one gives any single shit about what she has to say.

r95 being effeminate has nothing to do with wanting to fuck men. -_-

r95 Doug Jones the actor.

r67, read my comment at r60, that is all I can think of.

Oprah commented not that it's hurtful but the rumors that she was a lesbian mean that people think she would hide it. She has so much money that she could give two fucks about it and would have come out at this point.

I guess I can understand why Clay didn't come out. He was trying to start his career. Shawn has a audience base of teenaged girls, so I guess he might lose his fanbase.

Ricky Martin came out after he passed his prime, he still has a big audience in latin american but once you aren't on Teen Beat anymore who cares. But he was always careful about his denials.

Shawn needs to be careful so he can come out when he's singing adult contemporary music.

Fuck this dumb no-talent. Anyone with two eyes can see he’s a flaming queen.

Shawn's music already plays on adult contemporary stations lol

Riiiiight

I did know an effeminate man once whose girlfriend said he wasn’t gay. Fooled me.

Mick Jagger is effeminate and not gay. There are others.

Okay, so he's not gay. I wish that he would also admit that he's not a singer.

[quote]Shawn has mannerisms, that doesn't mean he is attracted to men sexually. They dont go hand I hand.

You seem to be missing the rest of the picture.

It's not just that he has effeminate mannerisms, it's that he never seems to have a girlfriend and admits it's a challenge just to be seen with "someone like a girl". How many handsome, famous 20-year old singers with millions of adoring female fans do you know who can't find a girlfriend?

r108 one with his upbringing. Isn't he from a Christian home? I bet he's a virgin also. He probably doesn't date based on looks, he wants a girl that he thinks is good enough all around.

[quote]he wants a girl that he thinks is good enough all around.

He wants a girl that looks like a man and has a dick.

It's too bad Shawn is so young and pure. Taylor Swift would make an excellent wife for him. But she's a maneater.

r110 nope, hes straight. Accept it. Most people... STRAIGHT.

Taylor Swift has never dated a straight man, so she couldn’t date Shawn.

R112, I assume your post is meant as satire?

r114 nope. I see so much denial on here and people lying to themselves, as if gays are the majority. Its a lie.

Nunya. I like that R50.

Thanks. I created it. And “hunty.” All the kids look to me for exciting new language.

[quote]It's too bad Shawn is so young and pure. Taylor Swift would make an excellent wife for him.

Yesss hunny, this arrangement would provide DL with endless content. Taylor Swift dating a younger man who is really hitting those walls 😂

Taylor Swift does anything for attention

R117, you’re fun!

I love when someone posts the gif at r118. It makes me chuckle every time. What was he looking at, doesn’t anyone know?

R121, half-naked male dancers, as has been discussed often.

Thanks r122, I vaguely remember I did read that somewhere.

It's quite simple. If one is NOT homophobic, then being thought of as gay or "labeled" as gay is not "hurtful." EVERY celeb is tagged as gay at one time or another. As others posting have said, if you are not gay, then just live your life. The end. EVERY talks about celebs. It comes with the territory. Denying anything about one's sexuality doesn't do a damned thing except make that person seem like a douche. Or an idiot. Or both. Seriously. Just SHUT the hell UP about it all.

Its been discussed, doesn't mean its true.... No one knows what hes looking at, and hes looking the same direction everyone else is....

[quote]and hes looking the same direction everyone else is....

Not the woman directly behind him. Lol. But idk WTF she’s looking at because she’s the only one looking that way.

It's not quite simple. Even out gays often have problems with effeminacy. That's the root of Mendes' gay rumours, not hook up stories etc.

R126 exactly. She’s not but everyone else is looking the same direction he is yet somehow he’s staring at “half naked male dancers” but no one else is? Come on.

Stop believing everything you read on here.

Logan from American Idol covering a Shawn song. He sounds LOVELY

He is not cute... I guess in Canada, he is considered handsome?

R118 He looks like Machel Raddow.

Yeah, he's Calvin Klein's new underwear model because no one finds him attractive.

[quote]everyone else is looking the same direction he is yet somehow he’s staring at “half naked male dancers” but no one else is? Come on.

But the difference is Shawn's *reaction* and *facial expressions*.

r132 its cause hes popular right now.

They're pushing Noah Centineo even harder than him right now...

r133 Shawn looks like he is enjoying the music, nothing more....

Sad chest at r134.

oh honey

Shawn is a closet case but his stupid fraus will never believe until he comes out, it's so easy to trick them, they'll believe anything, no wonder gay men use them as beards all the time.

James Charles keeps stalking me cuz he is into straight bros!

Repeat that you are straight in every interview, even when you are not asked. Also, marry a female. It works for me.

She’s not aging well.

R96 Angelina Jolie lol

His parents should have named him "Kale." At least it would have been spelled correctly.

R21 And the young gay fanboys too. Being immature and 14 happens to both genders it seems...

You GO, Shawn!!!!

We straight guys have to stick together!!!

Now let's go out and fuck some women!!!!

Mmmmm...PUSSY!!!!

So R144, we are having fish for lunch? Sorry, I’m allergic.

This has been posted before but still relevant.

The lady doth protest too much, me thinks.

We should support out celebs instead of Sean Mendes and his likes who are offended or hurt by gay rumors!

The iconic video

In spite of the purses spilling out in the video at r149, it’s really not particularly homophobic.

R148 Who's Sean Mendes?

Another one who needs to go kill herself. Just like Miss Charles.

Annnd... lowering gays to the point of saying it's "hurtful" to be mistaken for one gets you a Billboard number 2. His new single is his highest charting to date. Go figure.

He’s Canadian trash.

So hurtful....brb, having a panic attack.

Poor Shawn, having to put up with all these gays.

I have a girlfriend now, bitches!

He has nice legs.

Yeah, Shawn does have that. He does have nice, long legs and impressive height.

He was spotted making out with Camila

r160 I can't.

You know what, he just comes off as a mean person. Beiber was a lot of things, primarily immature, but he was always chill about rumors. I mean the kid went on the Ellen show and had to defend his leaked dick pics. Mendes would cut his wrists if his cock was on display; he's such a thinned skinned asshole.

If I were in his shoes I would have said the following thing, "We should be a society that validates people's personal definition of their sexuality. For too long, people have told members of the LGBTQ community that their feelings aren't valid and that they, quote, haven't found the right person of the opposite sex. That was wrong. I happen to be straight and hope that others can accept my truth."

Lol he ain't straight moron, he's an embarrassing gay mess.

You mean “...accept my lie,” r162.

[quote]For too long, people have told members of the LGBTQ community

Eyeroll.

It’s “hurtful,” Shawn?

Wait’ll you get fucked up the ass for the first time.

Gay

R160 Idiot fangirl, why did you bump this thread? We are not buying it.
