TV star and He of the Mesmerizing Eyes, Colton Haynes, is kicking the New Year off right; by having no regrets. He came out last year with the admission that he suffered from anxiety and wanted to send a message to fellow sufferers. This year, he may have come out again, but this time about his sexuality:
Arrow star, Teen Wolf alum and former model Colton Haynes drew much attention on social media on Saturday when he replied to a person’s comment about his supposed sexuality.
On Tumblr, a user had written, “When I found out Colton Haynes had a secret gay past, I got so excited even though i know it makes absolutely no difference in my life.”
“Was it a secret?” Haynes, 27, responded on his own official Tumblr blog. “Let’s all just enjoy life & have no regrets :)”
Colton, who is immensely popular and very active on a number of social media platforms, has always remained private online about his sexuality and love life and has often sparked speculation about it.
The E! article, as well as a few others, cite the fact that Colton posts many pics of his brother Joshua, who is gay, as possible corroborating evidence that Colton is gay. I don’t think that’s how it works, guys. I mean, I post many pictures of my cats, that doesn’t mean I sleep all day and only show up for food. Oh wait…
There have been rumors about his sexuality for a while. I have absolutely no gaydar – I was surprised when George Michael came out – but when I was researching Colton the first time, I didn’t really get the impression that he was trying to hide his sexuality. I just don’t think he makes it a topic of conversation. People speculated about him and Lauren Conrad back in 2011. Other than that, some thought he was dating his co-star Emily Bett Rickards due to a shared vacation, but Colton seems to enjoy vacationing with friends. It seems like he put his anxiety out front in a strong message and did a shoulder shrug on this one because I think anxiety is where he wants to do the most work currently.
Colton tweeted on New Years Eve, “No fear this year. Cheers #2016” You know what? I am totally on board for that. Let’s all join #TeamNoFear.
No fear this year. Cheers #2016
