Ridiculous. Smh
It honestly is that. Stephen and his friends have never denied their heterosexuality and have made that explicitly clear they are straight but Charlie Puth left his sexuality up for speculation and continually appeared to queer audiences. Queer baiting is intentionally leaving things vague and undefined, explicitly stating who you are, what you’re doing, and why you’re doing it is not that.

Why do they owe anyone an explanation of their sexuality?

I’m not saying they do, I’m saying it can’t be called queerbaiting if from the beginning they told everyone what their sexualities were.

I don't think Charlie has been vague though? What are people even basing that on? He's always claimed to be straight more or less.

I think both Charlie and the LGM boys are being unfairly hit by that stupid label tbh. I think they are both just engaging in opportunistic behavior to maximize audience growth. Whatever, that's what entertainers do.

If anything Stephen and friends are more explicitly aiming to gay men than Puth ever has. But neither are queerbaiting. That word is beyond bastardized and ruined for years now at this point. It's lost all legitimate meaning thanks to places like Twitter and LPSG

He did a video with Jungkook and they were a very gay couple in it. He had declined to share his sexual identity in the past. And he was intentionally ambiguous, he did one of those snapchat filters and teased whether he was a bottom or a top. There's more.
