Male Model Reece King Comes Out as Bisexual
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
British Male model and social media star Reece King came out as bisexual in a new interview with Gay Times.
In the interview, King explained he'd avoid questions about his sexuality but has now decided to embrace his bisexuality fully.
"I realized that whatever I said, it became a distraction," he said. "Anything I did or posted online, people would just ask about who I'm interested in.
"I just built up this defense of saying 'That's not important.' But I guess it's stuck with me because it really isn't important, so now I just say 'yeah, I am bisexual,'" he added.
King, who boasts over 550,000 Instagram followers and nearly 1000,000 Twitter followers, said he's proud to be one of the many LGBTQ social media stars and hopes he can make a difference.
"I think a lot more creative LGBTQ people have taken the limelight, especially on social media," he told Gay Times. "We see them on mood boards at shoots for inspiration. If people just keep doing their thing unapologetically, it breaks down the barriers in more homophobic environments."
