There are some guys that identify as gay but will admit they are sometimes attracted to women. I've also met bi guys who basically never have sex with women.
Labels are messy and often times not very coherent. It's possible he is attracted to women but maybe wants to identify as gay for any number of reasons? Lol Idk
Maybe he will switch back to bi at a later time. Who knows. Labels are not static.
Even before this recent interview it was pretty easy to surmise that he was trying to say he’s “mostly ‘gay” and has homo ambitions. While unless people make their identities a point, trying to pin people to a particular word serves no purpose. Sexuality, fluidity, sense of self, ego, psychology, the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, relationship comfort, emotional investment, commitment spectrum are all individual stuff. And we need to respect that. At least he’s not trying to use past hetero relationships or whatever hetero attractions or affections he has to retain hetero-normalcy and hetero appeal. That’s difficult on a lot of guy’s egos, especially if they’re religious and/or not entirely, thoroughly homo. The whole “Jesus told me being ‘gay’ is fine” thing is something else. But whatever.
