He never do anythg that's stereotypilly perceived as 'gay. ' He's tough, he's street smart, and he's pretty much unlike any gay teenager on televisn right now, " Cameron told Vany Fair. Article ntu below advertisement"I'm not gay myself, but 's a role I'm very happy to play.

SHAMELS SEASON 8 EPISO 10 REVIEW: CHURCH OF GAY J

I'm always happy to support the gay muny. And I thk a lot of teens — and a lot of gay teens, pecially — will really relate to the role, " Cameron add.

Fans have wonred: Is Cameron Monaghan gay? Ian Gallagher actor Cameron Monaghan has never dated his on-screen love tert Noel Fisher and is not gay real life. ) The unrtone (and overtone) was that Shamels is beg even more explic about s pictns of gay and bisexual characters, a topic ’s explored om the begng, and gets more nuanced as the seri go on.

IS CAMERON MONAGHAN GAY? HE HAS DATED ONLY WOMEN & HIS CURRENT GIRLIEND IS A MOL

I have seen so many people sayg Ian was nsistent and not tertg other than the gay part but … that nf me. Fna screws like 20 men the mimum the seri she isn’t known for her “straightns”She works at a night club, he worked at a gay bar.

I don’t unrstand how people claim all the seri shows about Ian is beg gay when he is jt as sexual as almost every sgle fay member … he jt happens to be gay.

Okay, so at this juncture Ian, Debbie, and Liam are all now gay. There’s certaly nothg wrong wh homosexualy and don’t bother me there are gay characters on this show, jt bothers me how heavy-hand the social mentary on has bee. I feel like at this pot the show is jt preachg to the choir at this pot about how people are born gay.

ARE MICKEY AND IAN OM SHAMELS GAY REAL LIFE?

Of urse people are born gay. It’s simply a statistil anomaly that all of the siblgs would be gay. Why is so necsary to make them all gay?

It has bee so heavy-hand the mentary that gay men are pable of beg “tough” and “manly”. Y, gay men certaly are pable of behavr like that of straight me, but I don’t see why the show tri so hard to make this pot.
