Shane Dawson

Beloved Youtuber Shane Dawson took to his channel in a 14-minute video to tell his fans that he identified as bisexual just a few years ago. The video has racked in millions of views since it’s been posted where Dawson revealed that he told his family about his feelings for boys at a young age, but because they weren’t very accepting of him, he shut down emotionally and gained a lot of weight. Dawson went on to detail the effects of being closeted for years telling fans that by age 18, he was 400 pounds. After getting back into shape, he began making YouTube videos, ultimately gaining a tremendous following.

“Then I became Shane Dawson, and I became the guy that everybody called gay, and I was so defensive of it … so I just kept repressing the feelings,” he said. “And then around [age] 21, I had my first kiss, and it was with a girl. I felt something … I felt love, and I was like, ‘Oh, I’m not gay, at all.’ So I started dating girls.”

Dawson added that he thinks life would be “a lot easier” if he were either gay or straight.

“But I’m not,” he said. “I mean, I’m not completely gay.”
