Yes, Elton John is gay. He first came out as bisexual in a Rolling Stone interview in 1976, but by 1992, he was again quoted in Rolling Stone as saying he was “quite comfortable being gay.” In the years since then, Elton John has been hailed as a gay icon, and he’s also been a devoted advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. Elton John is married to his longtime partner David Furnish, and the couple has two sons.

My result said I might be bisexual and like...what does that mean? Am I bisexual or not? I just feel so confused.

Who/what was your gay awakening?
What was the moment things clicked for you and you realized you were 💅? Who was it that made you feel feelings? I'm so curious to hear people's stories!

I want to actually talk to my gym crush
Just a regular guy who goes to the gym here, and I've been crushing on someone who I always see when I'm working out. I know gym crushes are normal, but is it bad if I actually want to go up and talk to them? I'm not sure about the etiquette here and I don't want to sound like a creep, so how can I tell if it's a good idea to say something to them? Has anyone else gone through this and have some helpful advice?

How do I tell if I'm lesbian or bisexual?
This quiz said I "might" be a lesbian. I definitely know that I like girls but I only sometimes think that I like guys. And while I think that some guys are attractive, I don't get butterflies thinking about them the same way I do when I think about women. Am I a lesbian or am I bisexual? How did you know that you're a lesbian?
