Is jack antonoff gay
JackAntonoffcalls himself "a straight man with, like, lesbian chemicals" in a revealing new interview.
The year-old fun. guitarist and outspoken female homosexual, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights ally also tells Celebration Source's Chris Azzopardi that he thinks "you can be a man who loves a gal but love someone the way a gay man loves another man or a woman loves a woman."
"People identify with other people for different reasons, and I personally am really pleasant around lesbians because, in some ways, we view women the same way," he says. "I've never really identified with the way a typical alpha-male views women. It's always an awkward forum for me to attach out with another guy and talk about girls, because I can't really find a way to fit in."
Antonoff, who is dating "Girls" star and maker Lena Dunham, adds, "Being direct and standing up for homosexual rights is a statement that says 'this is everyone's issue.' We are not all free unless we are all free. Just because I was born into the elite class of straight Americans who have maximum rights does not mean that I wo

The breakout single that sent the New York-based band's sophomore album, "Some Nights," soaring, "We Are Young" entered the pop-culture zeitgeist almost overnight with commercial spots and a "Glee" rendition. Their ubiquitous earworms gave them a platform, and they stood on it and told the world – time and period again, during sold-out shows and in online essays – how they help equal rights.
In this interview with Jack Antonoff, the year-old guitarist talks about being drawn to the male lover community's "inspiring" ways of uniting in the face of oppression, the stigma of being a straight man who doesn't care about the fight and how he loves Lena Dunham fond a lesbian.
You're one of the gay community's biggest supporters, and you've been very outspoken about it. When and why did gay issues get so important to you?
I want there was a great story or a poetic acknowledge, but I just don't know how anyone could not be outspoken and enraged wit

If you haven’t heard, you can listen here.
This is what is said:
Jack: There’s a better chance if I’m working with a woman that we’re gonna get along.
Marc: And she’s not gonna say, ‘This dude fucking gave it to me like you wouldn’t believe.’
Jack: Or, ‘I just piled through these four guys over the weekend.’
Marc: You’re not gonna have that conversation with Taylor Swift?
Jack: No… I like women, and particularly gay women.
Marc: Yeah…
Marc: Is she gay?
The focus here is on Jack’s comment about particularly liking lgbtq+ women. It immediately follows talking about Taylor, and so leads the listener into thinking he’s referring to her in that category. The first moment I heard this my reaction was ‘Did he just out her?!’ It’s obviously not just us who heard it that way because Marc, the interviewer, takes a second to process what Jack’s said and then asks himself.
The fact the clip cuts off before Jack can respond could be misleading, so I did some digging. And I start the full video (this conversation happens at ):
Marc: Is she gay?

Okay, so I listened to the Jack Antonoff interview where he talks about preferring to work with women. It’s so completely NOT salacious. You all can listen for yourself. I’ll put up a link in a minute. First, I’m going to transcribe the conversation.
The main thing is the cadence in Jacks voice. At no point does he get flustered at all. The cadence in his tone never really changes. He mentions preferring the company of women songwriters and then goes on to mention liking gay women songwriters. When the interviewer asks about Taylor he just simply kinda scoff-laughs and is like, no. And explains what he meant. If he’d messed up and outed Taylor, you’d include heard his voice convert. It doesn’t.
Here’s the transcript.

Jack: “There’s a better chance that if I’m worrying with a woman we’re going to get along. They’re not going to say favor, “this dude ducking gave it to me last night” or like “I just piled through prefer these 4 guys over the weekend””
Interviewer: “Hahaha. You’re not going to acquire that conversation with Taylor Swift?”
Jack “No”
