AceShowbiz - With the rise of support for the LGBTQ community, more people have spoken up about their sexuality. In the last one year alone, the likes of Brendon Urie, Tessa Thompson, Jason Mraz and Tyler Blackburn among others made stunning revelations about their preferences. As public figures, their stories would likely inspire others to be open about who they really are.
Recently, rapper Lil Nas X was hailed by fellow celebrities for coming out as gay. The "Old Town Road" hitmaker made a subtle reference about his sexuality with a tweet of his album cover on Pride month. His revelation was met with backlash from homophobic people, but he gained support from his fans and stars, including Miley Cyrus, Tamar Braxton, Dwyane Wade and Diplo.
Unlike Lil Nas X, though, there are a number of celebrities who have persistently denied that they are gay despite rumors stating otherwise. Whether those rumors are indeed not true or they're not ready to come out yet, here are some of those stars who have been swept up in speculation about their sexuality.
