Richard Gadd s*xuality
Gadd recently shared publicly that he identifies as bis*xual during an interview. He shared:
I sometimes change with the tide. I feel very strongly for both. I think we’re just learning to see the world in different ways and not be so rigid about it. And I feel like I’m constantly in a state of flux with my s*xuality.
Some days I feel a certain way and other days I feel other ways. But every time I land on one, my brain flies off to the other. It’s almost like a restlessness. But maybe that’s what bisexuality is.
Gadd further added how early on he felt like he had to be one or the other pick on a gender that he was attracted to and a s*xuality. However, this did not work out for him.
