Shawn Mendes

Gays sure aren't Shawn's main audience - and I don't think he even wanted that in first place - but LPSG and other gay spaces are one of the few places on Earth where he still seen as high tier celebrity - and not just a mere side character on female pop singer’s lives.

Only his fans and gays really care about him in 2024.

Yeah I don't really care about him as an artist I just think he's hot and got a great ass
 
nothing about that is a compliment when it’s used to degrade him for being himself, if someone says they aren’t something people should just leave it be and stop forcing it.

not only that, but it’s used as an insult and all of it is based on homophobic stereotypes.
Hi Alex,

I will admit, Shawn has been triggered by being seen as gay and I feel for the giy, and I dont really know why these rumors stay with him. To me its just not that deep. My guy harry is always called gay but he has never made an issue about it. It goes with stardom, esp when guys dont fit stereotypes of masculinity.

To me being gay is cool so I see it as a compliment. Straight men are so boring.

internalized homophobia in a comment, folx!
no one is degrading him. you're just saying this because you think it makes you sound smart but it's just sanctimonious - you just hate gays and being gay, hon.

Well it is degrading because the tone of most tweets about it are done with the clear intent of showcasing a dislike for him. It’s not like harry styles who’s sexuality speculation is done it a way that paints as a sexually fluid rockstar if that was the case I wouldn’t really care if people speculated about it, but with Shawn it’s primarily done in a mocking fashion and done by people who have the intent of insulting him. and it’s usually done by straight women or gay men with internalized homophobia because “ironic” homophobia has been so normalized online now and so many online gays have been poisoned by it on twitter that people are just being outright homophobic and painting it as just being ironic. People are calling a twink, bottom, or fag as terms of endearment they’re insulting him which is my primary grievance with it. It’s just another form of homophobia but this time with a target that people have deemed it’s ok to do it too and as a result you see a lot of straight women starting to say a lot more homophobic things online and hiding behind it’s just a joke
 
i think y'all are projecting having been called gay as an insult when you were younger.
no one on the internet is attacking shawn for being gay. no one is saying it in a hateful manner. no one is using it derrogatorily. no one is using it to hate on him. no one is saying it to hurt him. no one is saying it to belittle him.
people are just stating the obvious. no ill intent. just saying "dude, enough with the games, we know you like men. you can stop pretending. just come out already so we can stop this song and dance".
but y'all hear a man being called gay and get flashbacks to when you were called gay and think people are using it as a slur

why would i hate gays or being gay? it’s not an issue if you’re open about your sexuality and not it being forced upon others with pathetic stereotypes. he’s been harassed about his sexuality since he was 17 and it only continues over a decade later. if you’re not seeing the issue that’s on you but it’s quite sad he can’t be himself without people pinning that on him, and as someone apart of the community you should know how it feels.

I want you to tell me a reason you think he likes men that doesn’t include a stereotype of him being feminine. Like a concrete reason that’s not just vibes. Maybe it’s because I’ve lived in a major city and guys like that are everywhere but everything about him screams pretentious artsy straight guy who thinks he’s a lot deeper than he is down to the photo of Brad Pitt on his phone and hanging out with hippies

So you don’t have anything of substance just vibes like I said

and do you have anything of substance to say he's straight? no. why? because closeted dudes lie about being straight all the time. closeted dudes get into bearding relationships all the time. especially if they're in hollywood.
so don't act like you know shit. because you don't.
if i look at a dude and my gut feeling is that he's not straight. i'm going with that gut feeling. because those are my instincts recognizing patterns and behaviors. always trust your gut
 
Do you guys think Shawn gets a kick out of people calling him gay, questioning his masculinity? Like some sort of fetish? Pretending to be uncomfortable, so people will do it even more?

Referring to Shawn's crop-top video posted on Tiktok by a girl calling him gay (a few pages back)
He (and his people) know that they are making a video.
He (and his people) know that they will release that video to the public.

If he (and his people) don't like the public to speculate or to call him gay, then...
Why *go out of their way* to *purposefully* post stuff like this?
Why not just put on a regular shirt before filming?

He (and his team) have *purposefully* posted hundreds of photo-shoot images of him, and him with other dudes (not candid paparazzi pics) that are laced with homo-erotica...reminiscing of the old Abercrombie advertising campaigns, lol

Hard to play stupid and naivete when he (and his people) have been playing this fame game for a decade, smh
