Assistant opinion editor James Besanvalle commends Shawn Mendes for addressing his sexuality and that he's still 'figuring it out'.
This isn’t the first time that Shawn has had to deal with speculation about his sexuality ‘The real truth about my life and sexuality is that, man, I’m just figuring it out like everyone,’ Shawn Mendes revealed this week. Opening up to the crowd at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, he added: ‘I don’t really know sometimes and I know other times. It feels really scary because we live in a society that has a lot to say about that.
That’s an awful lot to deal with alongside having dreams about boys in your class or watching Sex and the City with your sister and secretly longing for the life of Stanford Blatch. Unfortunately, whenever I was asked if I was gay growing up, I always denied it because I felt so much shame about it at the time. It felt like people were forcing it on me so I was desperate to shake it off and prove them wrong.
