Is justin beiber gay

The heartwarming get-together between Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith at Coachella has rapidly spread online and has drawn the anger of individuals displaying homophobia, primarily because the two companions displayed no hesitation in showing affection towards one another.

The footage, initially documented by @daydayred_ on Instagram, captures Smith embracing Bieber while backstage at the renowned music gathering. Bieber then proceeds to give Smith a kiss on the cheek.

This interaction gave rise to countless remarks across both Instagram and X; many commenters were quick in branding the pair as 'gay' or suggesting that this sort of conduct was unsuitable for men.

One commenter stated, 'I'm sorry to say, but that is not how I say hello to my close friend,' while another commented, 'Their respective ancestors must be spinning in their graves, wondering what on earth has happened to men.'

Others seemed to engage in conjecture concerning the orientation of the two famous popstars, stating definitively that the two were intimately linked or hastily branding their actions as homosexual in nature.

Nevertheless, many individuals rightfully criticized the prejudice evident within the comment sections, which insinuated that men are incapable of showing genuine affection to one another.

Instagram user @the_profezo commented that the interaction was 'An unscripted and spontaneous display of affection… which is typically normal.' In addition, X user @data_analystguy observed: 'You are all so bigoted that you cannot simply have male companions.'

Bieber subsequently made an appearance on stage at the event as part of Tems' performance for the song Essence (Remix), marking his return to performing after a two-year absence that resulted from a Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis.

Celebrities and queerness: a complex interconnection

The response to the amicable Coachella reunion between Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith underscores a broader discourse encircling the orientation of celebrities and the occurrence of ‘queerbaiting' when considering public figures.

Even though he has been married to his spouse, Hailey, for half a decade, Bieber has never definitively identified his sexual orientation. Similarly, Jaden Smith has defied typical gender expectations by expressing himself through fashion and is seen as an ally of LGBTQIA+ causes, although he has never explicitly declared himself as a member of the larger LGBTQ community. Nevertheless, throughout the years, there has been consistent speculation pertaining to Smith's orientation.

Instances exist where prominent figures have experienced speculation regarding their orientations in the public sphere, regardless of the inherently personal character of one's sexuality.

Of particular note this year, The New York Times featured an extensive five thousand word piece penned by Anna Marks regarding Taylor Swift; the piece speculated that the singer was conveying coded messages as a 'secret' participant within the LGBTQIA+ group, in spite of her multiple prior disclaimers of queerness.

The article was so negatively regarded that it led to a response from a Swift representative, who characterized it as 'intrusive, false, and wholly inappropriate.'

Even celebrities who have publicly disclosed their sexual orientations, like Reneé Rapp, continue to face conjecture; after publicly declaring herself as a lesbian at the commencement of this year, the Snow Angel vocalist reprimanded individuals who persisted in questioning her orientation.

The footage depicting Bieber and Smith's embrace at Coachella serves as the newest reminder that public displays of affection can still provoke expressions of prejudice and conjecture pertaining to orientation, in spite of the inherent privacy of these moments and the personal nature of individual identities.
