The Voice have a new reason to sing today because season eight winner Sawyer Fredricks has come out as bisexual on Instagram.“Hey everyone.
it is time for my #Truthfultuesday,” his post began. “Since I have not publicly said this in a post, I wanted [to] say that I am Bisexual,” Fredricks shared.The singer went on to explain how he came to this realization as he got older and understood that sexuality extends beyond the binary of straight or gay.“When I was younger I thought I was straight, because I was more attracted to women, and I didn’t know there were more options besides Gay and Straight.
So I just assumed I was Straight,” he said.Fredericks added how lucky he has been to have experienced acceptance for his sexuality in his life. “I am privileged and have never been discriminated against for my sexuality or ashamed of it.
I’m truly sorry for any of you who have been, and I hope it gets better,” he shared, ending his post by acknowledging he may upset some of his fans with this disclosure.“I’ll probably lose some fans over this post, but that’s fine with me,” he wrote.
