Fact check: Is Jackson Mahomes gay? Debunking viral rumors about Patrick Mahomes' brother
Jackson Mahomes is no stranger to controversy. From receiving hate for TikTok videos to getting arrested for alleged sexual battery, Patrick Mahomes' brother has been under fire for years. However, one question that has constantly plagued a few fans and trolls alike is if Jackson Mahomes is gay?
While people continue to speculate, Jackson has already addressed this particular question in a video from 2020.
Being his first video on YouTube, Jackson began with an informative QnA. Starting with a question of his insecurity about his voice, Jackson dived right into people asking about his sexuality.
He called people out for assuming his sexuality, stating that he is not gay, and is attracted to women:
"A lot of people ask me this question just because of my voice. And just Because of the way I talk. But I am not gay. I am attracted to girls. I think it's actually a really hurtful question because I am friends with a bunch of people that are gay and it's just kinda really disrespectful in my opinion to ever judge someone based on what they choose".
Early on in the video, Jackson goes into other details of his life, including how he disliked the sound of his voice. Apparently, his issue with people assuming he is gay also stems from his voice.
Furthermore, the now-22-year-old also spoke about his brother, and how being related to the Kansas City Chiefs star QB does help in bagging some opportunities.
