Speaking to Love Don't Judge, he explained: "People think I'm gay because I'm more feminine than masculine." The singer received an array of negative comments when he posted a TikTok with. Obviously it's difficult to answer this question without context, but the only thing that stands out to me about your statement is the assertion that "no one will judge you". Even if you and everyone you know is perfectly fine with someone being gay, there are still plenty of people out there that will judge a person for being gay.
