Shawn Mendes finally comes out

Color me shocked.

Do you really think a guy his age in 2024 who is good looking and has traveled around the world isn't fully aware what he is into and has tasted his share? This "Aw shucks, I'm just exploring mysel" nonsense is not worthy of any praise.

We know, Herr Hitler, we know.

Shawn needs to come out when I say he should!!!!!

Cash must be getting low.

He's just afraid that he'll never know the pleasure of having another man inside him.

His new album is out November 15th. If it's a hit, he'll go back in the closet. If it tanks, he'll be fully out of the closet by Christmas.

Straight guys become pussyhounds at age 12.

I’m sorry for people in the public eye who have to endure the prying eyes of the public constantly hyperanalyzing their sexuality.

Who’s tearing his Latin bussy up these days?

he needs to come out when I want him too!!!!!

Shawn is just old news at this point - cocksucker or not. Get us someone fresh, without the horsey face.

I'm still wondering when and how he became a thing in the first place.

As far as I can tell, he's always been this fringe celebrity who happen to date some better known young women.

Came out? As WHAT? If he were straight, he'd just come out and say it. In spite of his word soup, it really only leaves two other options - both involve a love of the penis.

I’m so glad I figured that out when I was 14 in 1976.

R14 Exactly. That's the whole point. If he questions his sexuality that means he's not straight. He has to be bi or gay.

R13, he has 72 million followers on Instagram, so he is not just a thing on Datalounge:

I blame John Mayer. He tore Shawn’s bussy up good, then threw him out of bed!

R18 Diddy on heroin couldn't get up that ass! Mendes kept asking me to piss on him, though - thinking the boy's got some issues.

When he says “like everyone else” does he mean about his sexuality or their own? Because I have had mine figured out since childhood.

R15, I also turned 14 in 1976.

It was a great year; Charlie's Angels came on the air. I think I had my first part-time job setting up bingo tables after school once a week so I could earn my own comic book money. They were still either 20 or 25 cents around then.

Of course, jr. high and high school were pretty unhappy.

If he were white he’d get more attention on DL.

"Trying to figure it out" = Trying to thread the needle publicly so I don't alienate my young female fans who buy my records but also allow some room so I can stop lying my ass off all the time.

Society always has a lot to say about sex, relationships - particularly celebrities.

Straight people can't STOP talking about their boyfriends/girlfriends, husbands/wives, etc. and wanting to couple people up and asking if you're single.

It's STRAIGHT people who are obsessed with this - not gay people.

Ricky M., Clay, David Archie, etc. A tale as old as Show Biz.

I heard Hugh is still figuring out his, too.....

This is NOT how I foresaw his coming out journey going 😢

R25 I told y'all he's bi.

Can't wait to get another quote about his complicated sexuality right before the release of his next album "Sha-Men"

Sorry Shawn, nothing makes you interesting at this point.

Keysha he boring, gurl.

Sorry your new shit isn't selling, Shawn, and the "coming out" thing hasn't helped.

We'll see if Cher is more successful parlaying her "Lucy told me to dump Sonny and he didn't have any talent" line into book sales.

Cher will outsell Miss Shawna.

Nobody cares about anything from the past, by which I mean a minute ago.

Not about entertainers (Shawn Who? What's a "Cher"?), objects (Fine China? Fuhgeddaboutit!), politics (Kamala and Tim Who?), pandemics (China? Flu? Bleach?), competitions (Did something take place in Paris? Maybe it was in London.).

Life scrolls by at the speed of texting and TikTok. And so does memory loss.

What kind of direction could Shawn do to have a huge comeback without collaborating with a rapper to be more edgy?

Bring back hard rock! He should learn to sing like Steve Perry or Bon Jovi!

If Ethel Merman could do a disco album, so could Shawn Mendes.
