I'm not sure if this is the healthiest mindset to have, but I've largely stopped caring who celebrities are as people. Joshua Bassett is a cute little curly haired twink who stars in some shows I don't watch and some of my fantasies, and that is where my knowledge of him begins and ends.
 
I'll agree I don't think he's in anyway homophobic (an idiot maybe) and he apologised pretty extensively from what I remember. But the internet never forgets and if after saying fag he then announces he was just joking about being gay he'll have a full on twitter lynch mob.

Those tweets had big coverage for a while though. He already apologized and was forgiven.
 
Y’all I won’t lie , I believe he did come out lol. I think some of y’all are having a stroke now that he ain’t straight LMAO

These guys wanted him to not be straight. Now that he confirms he's queer, now they think he's lying.

I can't. :joy:

Anyway, welcome to the family, Josh!!! :blush:

If you watch the clip it can really be taken as a joke or a real coming out. 50/50.

If it was a joke people will be upset with him for not taking the coming out process queer people go through seriously, people will also be upset that he felt the need to say he was coming out just to justify saying Harry Styles is hot, because apparently straight guys can't say another guy is hot without it being gay.

It seems like him saying "he's hot" slipped out, he lets out a noise immediately afterwards sounding like a sigh of regret, he then seems to try and cover and deflect by saying "he's charming too... a lot of things", he then appears to accept defeat, umms for a moment and reluctantly says "i guess this is my coming out video".

But the video is pre-recorded and edited, so it was deliberately left in, i would like to think if he felt uncomfortable saying it he would have requested for that part to be cut out? So if it slipped out why did they leave it in the video? Unless he had no control over the interview, and if he asked for it to be removed and they declined just to get the scoop that's a really shitty thing to do.

agree, and also he's posted since it came out and also, i'm sure he See's his name trending on Twitter, yet he hasn't said anything to debunk the outlets and such, so maybe it is true.
 
Looks to me like he has a guy crush on Harry Styles and got a bit carried away and made the coming out “joke” when he caught himself gushing.

If he is gay/bisexual than it’s a great opportunity to just pull off the bandaid and roll with it.

If he’s straight, and I think he is, then it’s going to be an awkward reversal/ clarification.

It like when Tyler Posey tweeted he was gay and then said it was a mistake. Now he says he's pansexual But in all honesty, it just straights gay baiting
 
Honestly if he is straight and was just being sarcastic, he should probably just… not say anything. It doesn’t seem like he has any real problem being perceived as gay/bi, and he didn’t specifically label himself so he can keep seeing whomever he wants. If he tries to backpedal and say it was a joke, that’s not a great look— it would seem like he’s trying to distance himself from the lgbt community.

But I’ve seen a few rumors indicating that he wasn’t actually joking, and that was actually just his super low-key way of coming out. Which, if true, is pretty cool.

Nothing in that video suggests he was doing it as a joke. People think there's only one way to come out need to get with the times...
 
A friend who Josh and his sister follow confirmed on Twitter that Josh was NOT joking about coming out. But he went private after fangirls flooded his messages. Josh is probably bi or pan because rumors came out last time he was cancelled. Poor guy, hope hes okay
