Shawn Mendes has shared a letter with fans about wanting to live his truth, admitting he’s “afraid that if people know and see the truth they might think less” of him.“The truth is I really do wanna show up in the world as my 100% true honest unique self and not care what anyone thinks,” the “When You’re Gone” singer wrote, adding that, “most of the time that is a struggle.”It’s not hard to read the message as a desire to come out of the closet.

Gay rumors have circulated around Mendes for years, though he’s repeatedly rebuked them.In 2020 he spoke to The Guardian about a “desperation for me to come out as being gay, which is such a ridiculous thing.”“I got upset because I know people who are gay who haven’t come out yet and I know the suffering they experience because of that.

It’s just completely ignorant and insensitive of people to be on that s**t,” he added.Related: Man accidentally sparks gay rumors about his dad and David Bowie after sharing thirsty photo of themWhen Mendes was asked about the rumors in 2018, he said: “I’d like to say I don’t care about it, but that’s not true.
