Gay rumors seem to follow certain celebrities around for years and years, but lately, it feels like speculation is on the rise. Whatever the reason for that is, Bill Kaulitz is being put on the spot.
Wondering about superstars’ sexualities is nothing new, and it’s likely not something that will stop happening in the foreseeable future. People just can’t seem to help their curiosity, and the ongoing conversation surrounding queerbaiting celebrities certainly fans the flames. Whether it’s because of their looks, actions, or things they (and other people) have said, folks like Tony Hinchliffe, John Travolta, and Sophia Bush have gotten used to having their sexualities questioned, and Bill Kaulitz is merely another entry on the list.
Why do people think Bill Kaulitz is gay?
The gay rumors have followed Tokio Hotel’s lead vocalist since the very beginning of his career, mostly due to his flashy appearance. Kaulitz has never shied away from playing with his looks, often choosing to wear makeup and daring clothes, especially on stage. Of course, everyone should know by now that someone’s appearance doesn’t always correlate to their sexuality, but still, the rumors have persisted.
Kaulitz’s support for LGBTQ+ rights over the years has been evident, and some people take that as a sign that the singer may be a part of the community. Naturally, LGBTQ+ people tend to be more involved in advocacy, but to assume that everyone who fights for human rights is queer feels like a pretty big stretch. All that said, folks still wonder what the singer’s sexuality is, and they won’t give up the search for an answer.
What is Bill Kaulitz’s sexuality?
Although Kaulitz has been confronted with rumors and questions about his sexuality for what feels like forever, he has never publicly labeled himself. In fact, the German singer tends to avoid discussing the subject, which is more than understandable. Being asked the same question for years on end must be tiring, especially when it pertains to something so personal.
To answer the question of what someone’s sexual orientation is, looking at their dating history may be helpful. Kaulitz has been romantically linked to women in the past, and while that alone isn’t enough for us to assume that he’s heterosexual, combined with the fact that he has never come out may indicate that he’s not gay. That said, in a SheKnows exclusive from 2014, Kaulitz pointed to being open to finding love regardless of gender:
“Maybe I’m just about to meet someone who changes my life forever and, if that happens, does it really matter what gender they are?”
So, is Bill Kaulitz gay? Bisexual? Straight? There’s truly no way to know unless the singer explicitly states it one day. Whether or not that day will ever come is an entirely different conversation.
