Lauv Is Obsessed With His Sexuality – A New Vid Reveals His Thoughts
Singer Lauv has spoken about questioning his sexuality. He posted to TikTok, captioning the video, “when ur dating a girl but ur also a lil bit into men”. Since then, Lauv has posted more content about his sexuality and revealed how long he’s been struggling with his journey.
“I feel things and i don’t wanna pretend I don’t”
Since posting his initial video hinting that he may be part of the LGBTQIA+ community, Lauv has continued to publicly speculate on his sexuality and he claims mental health reasons have impacted this.
In the Instagram video posted above, he speaks about his experience with OCD and anxiety and how grappling these he has lead him to focussing on his sexuality. “I’m going through an interesting time. For years, as you may know, I’ve struggled with OCD and anxiety really badly, and one of the things I’m obsessed about has been my sexuality,” he says.
When it was first revealed that Lauv might be queer, he mentioned that he hasn’t done much aside from kiss other men and he didn’t want to “jump the gun”. In this recent video, he further explains that he doesn’t have any concrete answers and that he wants to work through this time in his life through music.
“It’s been something that, you know, without going into too much detail from like childhood and stuff, but more recently, like in my 20s, I’ve pushed it down a lot,” says Lauv. “I felt like, ‘Okay, this is anxiety… it’s not exactly a real thing.’ Like I would feel feelings or like feel a connection or a vibe or desire or something and then would just shut it down. It’s something that I’m exploring in my music, and exploring in my mind and going to be exploring in my life.”
