Coming out about your sexual orientation takes a lot of guts, even though the world has become more accepting of LGBTQ sexual orientations. People have different reasons for letting the cat out of the bag, but it could be related to claiming one’s rightful place in the sun. Or perhaps it is about being truthful about who you are.

Taylor Bennett, an American hip-hop recording artist, is one such individual who came out in 2017. But what prompted Taylor Bennett to reveal his sexual orientation, and what exactly is his sexual orientation?

Putting the Spotlight on Taylor Bennett’s Sexuality

Taylor Bennett announced to his fans on his 21st birthday, January 19, 2017, that he recognizes himself as a bisexual man. Taylor stated in a series of tweets that his decision to come out was motivated by the desire to help others who are dealing with the same issue.

He also stated that he has always supported the gay community and will continue to do so.

That’s how you set a good example, isn’t it?

With a Girlfriend and a Baby

Taylor is still in a romantic relationship with his female partner, Mayla Koore, despite coming out openly about his sexuality.

In early 2018, his girlfriend became pregnant with the couple’s first child. He became a father in November 2018 when his partner gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Charlie.

Taylor faced criticism soon after the birth of his son, as many questioned the veracity of his bisexuality. In response, the artist claimed that bisexuality is becoming passionate with both genders.

Meanwhile, Taylor’s brother Chance the Rapper has a happy marriage with his long-term partner, Kirsten Corley. The couple, who had their daughter Kensli in September 2015, became engaged in July 2018 and married in December 2018. Chance and his wife are expecting their second child, as Kirsten announced her pregnancy on March 14, 2019.
