Long been discussed, the YouTuber took to Twitter with a simple pronouncement that fans are pulling apart word by word and analyzing to the extreme. Dream is the poster boy for Minecraft YouTube. With more than 29 million subscribers on his personal channel, everything he does is leapt upon and fiended for by his hyper-passionate fanbase. Sparking up fresh discussion, he took to Twitter to address discussions around his sexuality, giving out a smattering of details in his signature cryptic style. \u201cI\u2019m not gay, I think women are very attractive, some men are ok too I guess,\u201d tweeted the YouTuber to his 4.9 million Twitter followers, and from there, the retweets and comments took off. I\u2019m not gay I think women are very attractive, some men are ok too I guess \u2014 Dream (@Dream) April 11, 2022 This isn\u2019t the first time that Dream has caused a storm with romantic discussions, after recently providing support for \u2018Toxic shippers\u2019 in his community. Fans and fellow content creators took Dream\u2019s words and have started fierce discussions about what it could mean. With focus heavily upon the idea that \u2018women are very attractive\u2019 pigeonhole\u2019s the YouTuber as straight. \u201cTold you so\u201d quote tweeted fellow content creator \u2018KaceyTron.\u2019 In opposition to the idea that this single tweet defined anything about Dream\u2019s preferences, there is also strong argument against the idea that \u201cnot gay\u201d is the same as hardcore straight. \u201cI\u2019m not gay\u201d \u2260 straight. Other labels exist. Y\u2019all are so fucking annoying. Automatically assuming \u201cI\u2019m not gay\u201d = straight invalidates people who are bisexual, pansexual, etc. thanks for coming to my Ted talk \u2014 Devi (@DeviTheDeviant) April 10, 2022 Multiple people in the comments section opened up the concept of labels in rejection of a sexual binary. \u201cI\u2019m not gay \u2260 straight\u201d becoming a rallying call for anyone wanting to bring awareness to the wide spectrum of sexuality. With Dream keeping his sexual identity out of the public eye for so long, it makes sense that he\u2019s stoking discussion in the least direct way possible. Garnering support for the his words, whatever they may mean, fellow YouTuber and collaborator MrBeast threw his significant presence behind Dream in the simplest and clearest way possible. \u201cVouch\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dream opens up on his sexuality amid speculation from fans Instagram: dreamwastakenDream has lit a fire under discourse around his sexuality.
