Is Patrick Stewart Gay? Did He Respond To The Gay Rumors?

Patrick Stewart’s gay rumors sparked when one of the media tabloids claims that he was gay while celebrating Ellen Page’s revealing of her sexuality. 

The column read ”Some gay people, such as Sir Patrick Stewart, think Page’s coming out speech is newsworthy because a high-profile and surprisingly politically aware young actress has decided not to play by the rules that so many closeted Hollywood actors are advised to follow if they are to enjoy mainstream success” 

However, the article was immediately amended and corrected to “Some people” instead of “Some gay people”.

The column became viral after Patrick Stewart congratulated Ellen Page for coming out as gay at an LGBTQ conference in Las Vegas.

After Patrick was mistakenly cited as gay in the news tabloid, fans were confused, as to whether it was true or not, given his public image as a heterosexual male.

But the actor was never offended by the mistake by the writer at the time, which was a humble gesture of understanding people’s fault and comprising to them, rather than being furious about the matter.

Thie tweet made the fans laugh out loud. But several people were amused with the fact that he didn’t respond to the gay rumors.
