Singer Khalid comes out as gay, after being outed online
Popular singer Khalid has come out as gay, sharing his journey of self-acceptance and embracing his identity through a heartfelt post on social media after reportedly being outed by a fellow artist.
This move comes after a series of events online, including a tweet from an anonymous user speculating about his sexuality, and a comment that initially hinted at uncertainty or embarrassment surrounding his sexual orientation.
The announcement followed a string of events online, including a tweet from another user speculating about his sexuality. In response to a comment that read, “Wait hope Mr Khalid isn’t GEHHH!,” Khalid quote-tweeted and confirmed, “I am! And, that’s okay.”
Khalid later elaborated on his post, explaining his perspective on being outed. “I got outted and the world still continues to turn. Let’s get this straight (lmao) I am not ashamed of my sexuality! In reality, it ain’t nobodies business! But I am okay with me. love yall.”
Khalid’s statement seems to reference a time when singer Hugo D Almonte, reportedly from the same industry, shared Khalid’s sexual orientation without his consent.
Despite the challenges, Khalid has expressed a sense of comfort with his identity and a strong commitment to his privacy. He firmly believes in the right to self-disclosure, stating, “I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just not any of your business,” reinforcing his confidence and acceptance of who he is.
The response from fans in the comments has been overwhelmingly supportive, with many drawing attention to Khalid’s previous works, such as his 2022 hit “Satellite,” which has been hailed as an anthem for the LGBTQ community.
