Whether Drew Barrymore is gay, bisexual, or straight is unclear, and it's best not to speculate. There is supposedly a 2003 interview with Contact Magazine
where Barrymore said, “I have always considered myself a bisexual.” However, it is not possible to actually confirm this interview exists, and it appears to be the only time Barrymore has supposedly commented on her sexuality. That said, Barrymore has never been in a public relationship with a woman, while she has dated men publicly her entire life, including David Arquette, Luke Wilson, and Justin Long.
Rumors surrounding Barrymore’s sexuality focus on the Contact interview and the fact that she has been an outspoken ally of the LGBTQ+ community. However, even if that interview exists, it was in 2003 and people’s sexuality can evolve over time. Beyond that, advocating for civil rights doesn’t automatically mean someone is gay or bisexual.
