Some theori claim that Taem is actually gay, but the talks have no evince to back them up.
Although the sger is aware of the gay speculatns, he has never addrsed the matters directly. No, Taem is not gay. Lay apparently said that 'gay men are not real men' and Irene said that 'a marriage should be between a man and a woman' and Taem refed to hug a male fan bee he 'lik girls.
