i do think that there are a lot of celebrities that navigate through the ambiguity of sexuality to gain something (Harry Styles for example) however I don’t think Ronen is lying. I wouldn’t be surprised if they broke up either.

There is a difference between "I don't like labels" and "queer" vs bisexual. That has much less ambiguity and is a straight up admission that you are attracted to the same sex (in some regard). Period.

There is no benefit (as a man) to identifying as bisexual. Bi people get plenty of shit from gays and straights alike.

There can be some benefits to being straight passing and no one denies that but you don't get to invalidate his sexuality.

Being annoyed by his ability to pass and the state of the world, in general, doesn't invalidate his sexuality. I couldn't care less who he sleeps with (so long as parties involved are of consenting age).

My irritation has nothing to do with this particular individual’s choice to publicize how he describes his romantic attractions/interests. I'm annoyed that if this was some random dude in Smallville, USA going about his life, employed, keeps to himself, bothers no one else or inconveniences anybody in anyway, and he happens to be attracted to men and women, and behaves in every way that would be considered appropriate for a hetero person in public, except depending on his mood or what's going on in his life at the time, you may learn he's romantically involved with a man or a woman if you so inquired of him that information. Then he may be branded or harassed for being “queer” or less than “straight” and catch hell from anybody because he's not fulfilling some random god’s plan to “go forth be fruitful and multiply.”

I'm irritated that anybody in the entertainment industry feels pressured to overshare their personal details in interviews. I'm irritated that headlines like the one referenced do nothing to help the “cause” by normalizing an everyday reality. In fact, they do more to “other” it because now we’re all talking about how you rarely read headlines like that and “good for him.”

I'm annoyed that no one goes, “Uh, and why am I being told this?” before redirecting the subject back to something pertinent. I mean, great dude, you identify as bisexual, swell, this mean we’re going to become romantically involved now? Is that why you feel I should know this information? Cause I'm not even sure we’d get along anyway. I'm easily annoyed by many things.

So you want famous people to stay closeted or do you want more people to just live their life as whatever without the announcement? There are times and circumstances where being closeted is the better choice for literal safety reasons. So I get that

I also agree it would be nice to not always have some big headline and announcement but that's just how the media kinda rolls I guess.

The ulterior motive is to promote his tv show, with another desperate gay, Gus whatshisname.

THIS is my problem - with Colton, and Ronen and countless others. How about just coming out. Without having it linked to a tv show or the glaad awards. Just make your statement and go back to enjoying your day. All of these white gay boys always always always find a way to tie in their sexuality with some new marketing adventure. Im sick of it.

It seems challenging to separate coming out from the entertainment career. I know I've been critical of the guy mentioned in this thread, and I can't point to any one reason for why his case rubbed me the wrong way, which isn't fair to him.

The fact that something about his situation still irks me is ultimately irrelevant to the OP's intended nature, though.

Ronen is annoying but his situation wasn’t the same as with Colton. He was in an interview about his role on 911 when a question was brought out about his sexuality, weeks later he came out. Colton pretended he was going to come out for the first time when he had already gotten a contract with Netflix for a tv show, so the whole coming out on GMA was an ad for the tvshow
