“I have resistance to people forcing an agenda on someone,” he shared about the pressures of coming out in Hollywood.

Instead, he’s carving his own path—embracing his sexuality with a healthy mix of humor, reflection, and authenticity.

At the end of the day, Gage’s willingness to live his truth, whatever that may look like on any given day, is something many of us can relate to. In a candid moment on the In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele podcast, Gage revealed that he considers himself “10% straight” and “10% bi,” sparking curiosity and a few raised eyebrows about the complexities of his sexuality.

He’s still hooking up with women. Gay 90 per cent, 10 per cent straight. That’s probably why I was such a horrible boyfriend to all the girlfriends I had til I was, like, 20.” 

Following the split, the actor formally apologised to Shania Twain, who performed at the wedding, for “wasting her time”.

Reviewing Gage’s memoir, I Wrote This For Attention, in which he opened up about his sexuality, PinkNews’ Marcus Wratten called it a “frequently crushing read”.

The Euphoria star wrote: “There was a lot of confusion because there was love for the girls I dated and the females I was with, but there was always something inside that I couldn’t quite articulate or figure out.”

And talking to PinkNews about sharing that with readers, he said: “There’s something hot about owning your stuff.

Turning to the publicists in the room with him, he added: “I think I’m queer.

Can I say that? Gage reflected on his past, admitting that he was “probably such a horrible boyfriend to all the girlfriends until I was like 20.” He explained that, at the time, he couldn’t emotionally connect in the way his partners deserved. Or queer. And let’s be real, The Kardashians and a gay marriage? We should have a little bit of empathy and grace and let them do it on their time.” His approach is refreshing—reminding us all that no one’s journey is linear and that understanding and grace go a long way.

Living His Truth, One Step at a Time

Gage’s openness and vulnerability are what make him such a compelling figure, both as an actor and as a person.

That’s probably why I was such a horrible boyfriend to all the girlfriends I had until I was, like, 20.”

The candid comments come after a highly publicised marriage — and breakup — with celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, which ended in divorce just months after their 2023 wedding.

A Short-Lived Marriage & Public Apology

Gage and Appleton tied the knot in April 2023, but by November, Appleton had filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The couple reached a settlement in mid-2024.

Following the split, Gage publicly apologised to singer Shania Twain, who had performed at their Las Vegas wedding ceremony.

“I’m sorry for wasting her time,” he said with a mix of humour and regret.

Reflecting in His Memoir

In his memoir I Wrote This For Attention, Gage delves deeper into his evolving understanding of his sexuality.

“There was a lot of confusion because there was love for the girls I dated and the females I was with,” he wrote.
“But there was always something inside that I couldn’t quite articulate or figure out.”

Gage’s honesty about his sexual identity has struck a chord with fans, offering a refreshingly nuanced view in an industry that often demands clear-cut labels.
