Leonardo Miggiorin went back and spoke, definitively, about his sexual orientation. Previously, the actor had said that he identified as a bisexual man, but said that, in fact, he is gay.
The artist said that he is no longer afraid to hide and that he is happy to have assumed who he really is.
“I don’t want to spend every interview changing lyrics. And I am, yes, willing to say that I’m gay and that’s okay. That’s my position and my experience now. And I don’t have anything to clarify, because I don’t think it’s necessary. But I’m gay. I’ve been gay since I was born, since I was little, since I started to understand myself as a person”, he spoke.
The actor confessed that he found it difficult to define himself and “fit” into the standards imposed by the labels.
“I think labels are limiting and generate unnecessary controversy. I’ve had experiences with men and women, and my conversation with my parents was this from the beginning. I’m not worried about which shelf they’re going to put me on, but it seems that we it has to fit, right? So, I need to limit myself, because there can be a flood of comments from this. And if I date a man today, I’m gay.”, he said.
For three and a half years, Leonardo has had a romance with the commercial director and producer Joao Victor Amado.
When talking about dating, the artist confessed that this was the opportunity to interrupt the annulment he had already suffered.
“With social networks, communication has expanded and will expand even more. And with that, you need to be more truthful. Until then, it was as if I had annulled myself to the point of not being able to include some aspects of my story “, commented.
He completed:“Since I was 20 years old, I have a certain regret because I stopped building many bonds for fear of exposing my intimacy. How do you create a friendship, if you don’t expose the exchange of experiences? someone, of hearing intimate things from the other, and not being able to tell about my things. And look how many chances I missed, throughout my life, by not allowing myself to open up.”.
“The process of allowing myself was inevitable. It was losing everything or starting to allow myself. It was a process of liberation and rebuilding self-esteem. Because when you grow up in a fragmented way, it didn’t allow me to show certain aspects of my life. And that’s it. it got ingrained in my head and I couldn’t look,” finished.
