During a May interview with Clevver News, Bassett told the outlet that he thinks Harry Styles is "hot," then followed up with, "This is also my coming-out video, I guess." At the time, fans didn't know if he was serious or not, but he was, in fact, not joking. After a follow-up post on Instagram, Bassett stated that he is still figuring out his sexuality.
"Love who you love shamelessly. It's ok to still be figuring out who you are. Life's too short to let ignorance and hatred win. I choose love," he captioned the post, ending it with rainbow hearts.
