No need to apologize, @CycoMa! Some additional context: Lil Nas X is parodying Drake's recent album cover (Certified Lover Boy) which features pregnant women emojis. Lil Nas X made his own version with pregnant man emojis and then took it as far as getting a fake pregnant stomach. Though I'm not sure if it is makeup or Photoshop. Considering there's been some videos I'm guessing it's all makeup, which is really impressive for how realistic it looks. ––FormalDude talk 18:50, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-09-22T18:50:00.000Z","author":"FormalDude","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-FormalDude-2021-09-22T18:50:00.000Z-CycoMa-2021-09-22T18:43:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Category:Gay men says Some men may dual-identify and therefore will be included in both categories. I guess this would be the case. I believe he didn't stop being gay. Also being bisexual doesn't make anyone less gay. The category was removed here by Giovanni 0331.

Anyways, I don't know if you didn't notice, but sexual orientations are typically covered in the Personal life section. He came out as "a little bisexual" in January via tweeting, as many sources say.

As a pansexual I should probably reply to this. It doesn't mean he ever declined his interest in men, it's that he learns of his growing interest in women as well. As for a ratio, who knows, but it's not always a 50/50. Sometimes sexuality is hard to define. Anyone can change their mind on that I guess. So he's now bi.
