Tyler Posey Comes Out as Queer & Sexually Fluid

His girlfriend "helped me realize that I fit under the queer umbrella," Posey said in a new interview.

Last year, Teen Wolf actor Tyler Posey launched his OnlyFans and promptly opened up about his sexual experiences, including many that weren't quite so heterosexual. 

He spoke candidly at the time, sharing "We've blown each other, you know what I mean," said Posey at the time. "But never had sex. So yes, I have been with men before." He also shared that he's been pegged.

Posey has never explicitly identified as anything until now.

“I’ve been with everybody under the sun, and right now I’m in the best relationship that I’ve ever been in with a woman, and she’s queer too,” he said to NME, speaking of his girlfriend Phem. “She’s helped me realize that I fit under the queer umbrella and that I’m sexually fluid, I guess.”

He then took a moment to correct himself. “No, not ‘I guess’. I don’t want anyone to take this [interview] and be like: ‘Well, he was kind of wishy-washy about it.'”

The 29-year-old also addressed accusations of gay-baiting after sharing his experiences last year but refusing a label. In the interview, he called out people telling him to kill himself and one troll in particular who "made this one comment that kind of sparked me wanting to do something about cyberbullying. They said: ‘I killed your mother’ – like, this person actually claimed they killed my mother.” Posey's mom died from breast cancer when he with 23-year-old.

“I’m sober now and I’ve been working a lot on my mental health, so I’m in a place where I can somewhat laugh at that kind of thing,” he said. “But I know that other people who deal with this kind of shit may not be as strong mentally.”
