Tony Labrusca answers questions about his sexuality

By Cara Emmeline Garcia

Actor Tony Labrusca is shutting down all the rumors that he's gay or he's closeted.

In his recent YouTube vlog, Tony addressed the rumors and admitted that it frustrated him from time to time.

“The thing is, I get frustrated when people focus on my sexuality because I feel like, no amount of work or accomplishments that I've done… It gets undermined because people focus on my sexuality instead of my capability,” Tony said.

He also related, “I don't mind people assuming this about me. I actually like that.

“At the end of the day, whether people like it or not, the truth is always behind closed doors and so I love when people make these types of assumptions about me because it means people are intrigued by me at the end of the day.”

Setting the record straight, Tony said, “I don't identify myself as homosexual but I don't think that matters anymore.

“Even if I said that I wasn't gay, the people who do are gonna keep on believing that.

"There's nothing I can do that can change their mind. They will always think that I dated this person or I had sex with this person because this tabloid said that and that's out of my control.

“And then, let's say if I did say I was gay, some people still wouldn't believe me or some people would still hate me.

“They would say that I'm doing it for the attention or that I'm queer-baiting.

“So my point is, whatever I say, do, or identify as, it doesn't matter. There are still going to be people that hate me because I am me.”
