‘Boy Erased’ Star Lucas Hedges Comes Out as ‘Not Totally Straight, But Also Not Gay and Not Necessarily Bisexual’

Lucas Hedges, the star of the upcoming conversion therapy drama Boy Erased, spoke about his sexual orientation in a wide-ranging interview with Vulture.

“I owe it to this part to speak as honestly as possible. In the early stages of my life, some of the people I was most infatuated with were my closest male friends. That was the case through high school, and I think I was always aware that while for the most part I was attracted to women, I existed on a spectrum. I felt ashamed that I wasn’t 100 percent, because it was clear that one side of sexuality presents issues, and the other doesn’t as much. I recognize myself as existing on that spectrum: Not totally straight, but also not gay and not necessarily bisexual.”

Hedges added that he knows it sounds confusing but that’s just how it is: “People expect you as an actor to have a voice that’s set in some way, and that’s really not what I am. I’m very much within the conflict and confusion of my own lifestill, and I definitely feel a pressure to step up in a way. I prefer to step up in my art, and I don’t entirely know how to in my life.”
