Queer Eye's Antoni Porowski on His Sexuality: 'I Kind of Like Not Knowing'

Queer Eye‘s Antoni Porowski is on the cover of GQ Hype‘s brand new issue.

Here’s what the 35-year-old reality star had to share with the mag…

On Queer Eye’s ‘Heroes’: “We have to be real with these heroes. These are real human beings who are opening up their lives to us, even if just for a week. Imagine doing that, opening up about things you can barely show with anybody, with five complete strangers. That can be really uncomfortable. I think we have a responsibility to just be the truest version of ourselves that we possibly can be.”

On his sexuality: “I don’t really know and I kind of like not knowing. I feel like if I do refer to myself as gay, which would make it easier for people to understand sometimes, I feel like it dishonors women that I’ve been in love with.” Antoni explained in the interview that though “he’s been dating men for several years, he’s been in more relationships with women and wants to be sensitive to both.”

On being labelled as a sex symbol: “I did not think that I was going to be objectified as a 34-year-old male, that usually happens for guys in their twenties. I used to do this thing where any opportunity I’d remind somebody that I have an educational background. I went to university, I’m not an idiot, I read a ton of books. I’ve kind of calmed down on that a little because I think with physical appearance it’s always assumed that you’re a dumb ass.”
