Joey Cifelli the guy sitting on Steele's lap is openly gay as is Max Showalter the guy on Steele's right. Im pretty sure Brando is as well.
Max Showalter on Instagram: “One big happy family Uncle joey is no longer allowed at family gatherings however....”
Wow, good call. Poor Steele had to run off and get married just so the gay wouldn’t rub off on him. :p
There also seems to be quite a few out/ glass closet divers that are upcoming and starting to hit collegiate level (can’t list names here due to age restrictions, but they are easy to find and affiliated with Steele and his school or training center).

(I wonder if this is in some way the Tom Daley effect of seeing an Olympic level out athlete enjoy success and recognition in the sport thereby inspiring others?)

I really wonder what the dynamic of his marriage is... all his vlogs are solo and he doesn’t mention her too much aside from the prerequisite birthday and anniversary posts. She doesn’t seem to be home much either.

If he really is gay this is sad. He's wasting his life if he's gay. Trust me from experience, God is not intrested in making gay people straight.

I didn't know any of this :eek: I was kind of pissed when you got married as I just assumed he was gay(not really fair of me) and immediately stopped following him.

Very weird. I mean don't most vloggers with significant others do collabs with them and mention them?

They did a couple of things early on, but not much since. It's clear he likes the asthetic of being a couple (cutesy hipster poses at the beach or on a mountain), but otherwise they just describe each other as best friends who both help know God better through one another, yada... not exactly the kind of sexual energy that you might expect from an elite athlete and a couple in their 20s.
I clearly don't know much about the sort of reserved/repressed hyper-religious mid-western type of thing they've got going on, but to go from never been kissed to married at 20 (in less than a year) to someone 5 years older before even experiencing life is so radically confusing to me.
And I hate to go straight away to the notion that it's a marriage of convenience to bury the gay thoughts, but the poor dude pinged so hard with his love of Troye and other gay YouTubers, open mancrush on Bieber, no dating history, flirty interaction with his friends (especially the gay ones like Max and Tom Daley).. I feel bad if he was hounded about his sexuality all those years and he is actually straight and just a bit fem (or prude). But, man it's too bad he didn't experience a bit more of life and heck, kiss more than one person before making a lifelong commitment.

Sure, I suppose lots of 23yo dudes watch the Bachelorette with their wives and get so into it to want and tweet about it...

The diving world is interesting. Seemingly just about all of them are gay (you can't tell me otherwise). But the conservative and religious background has most of them marrying women.
Stereotypes aside I assume 80 to 90% are gay. I don't think the GAY taped everyone around Steele and just ignored him either. lol
 
everyone used to consider Figure Skating THE Gay sport....it's now CLEARLY diving. Greg Louganis, Matt Mitcham and David Pichler have made a great legacy! (Pichler- US Olympian from 96 and 2000- 5th and 6th on 10 meter in those Games- was the first out while competing in Games....)

See now I'm finding out stuff I didn't know. The Max thing I saw but How come I never noticed his mancrush on Bieber? Flirty history with Tom Daley?:eek: Please explain. LOL It seems Steele is even more gay than I remembered. I don't know any straight guys who are into so much gay stuff as Steele and I do remember him saying he was pressured by his parents to start dating. This was a couple of years or maybe a year before he out of the Blue said he had a girlfriend.

He tweets about Bieber pretty regularly and likes his photos a lot.

As for Tom, he’s been in a bunch of his vlogs through the years...they are around the same age and have seen each other lots of times at various events... Steele is probably where Tom got the inspiration to vlog. Maybe flirty is strong of a word, definitely playful though.

Steele has waaay too many videos for me to try and find clips of Tom, but here’s a quick one where Tom “stole” his camera...

Wow! The Bieber stuff is very telling. Straight guys just don't crush on Bieber like that. And no straight guy even if it's married to a woman watches the Bachelorette. LOL If I find out he watches Rupaul's drag race. I'm going to fly to Indiana and hold a you're gay intervention. LOL
