Gage Gets Frank on Podcast
Appearing on his friend Owen Thiele’s podcast, “In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele,” Gage addressed the constant questions he faces about his private life. The “White Lotus” and “You” star recalled being asked by a host just how gay he actually was.
“I’m pretty fucking gay. I got married to a guy on TV,” Gage responded, referencing his wedding to Appleton, which was officiated by Kim Kardashian on an episode of “The Kardashians.” “I don’t know how much gay I can get.”
However, Gage explained that his identity isn’t strictly defined. When asked if he was a “gold star gay”—a term for a gay man who has never had sex with a woman—he confirmed he was not.
Explaining the “10% Straight” Comment
Delving deeper, Gage offered a more fluid perspective on his sexuality. “I’m like 10% straight or 10% bi,” he shared, noting that he has hooked up with “multiple, many” women and still does.
The key distinction for Gage lies in the emotional connection. While he confirmed he can be physically aroused by women, he admitted that on an emotional level, “there’s something that disconnects.”
“That’s probably why I was such a horrible boyfriend to all the girlfriends I had ’til I was, like, 20,” he reflected.
A Nuanced View on Identity
Gage’s conversation highlights a more complex understanding of sexuality that goes beyond simple labels. By sharing his personal experience, he challenges the idea that attraction is always a clear-cut matter.
“The fact I got married to a man is pretty gay, but there’s a little part of me that is straight,” he concluded, summarizing his candid and personal take on who he is.
