High School Musical star Joshua Bassett speaks about the first time he realized he was queer.
Joshua Bassett, known from “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”, thrilled and amazed fans when he casually came out as queer a few weeks ago. The fans asked themselves all the more what was really going on between him and fellow actor Sabrina Carpenter. In an interview with GQ Magazine, Bassett speaks for the first time about his outing and when the moment came when he realized he was queer.
In the first season, Bassett had an important moment.
Bassett recently made it clear through an Insta post that his outing in an interview wasn’t a joke. In it, he described singer and actor Harry Styles as “hot” (fans agree) and added: “This is probably my coming-out video too. “The star now speaks to GQ Magazine about the moment that made him realize that he is queer.

Bassett and Rodrigo had something with each other, but the actor is said to have started something with Carpenter by now. None of the three said anything about the rumors, but now Bassett has made an official statement: “People have no idea what they are talking about. Why don’t we focus on these women for who they are? Let’s focus on the art and what they create and how great they are, instead of focusing on which boy they are with. “True words that we sign!
