Hugh Sheridan comes out as a ‘nonbinary bisexual human’

Hugh Sheridan has come out as nonbinary approximately eight months after revealing that they’re attracted to both men and women.

Nonbinary people don’t categorise their gender identify as either male or female and often go by the pronouns they/them.

Hugh made the announcement on Instagram in a post to promote landing the cover of gay men’s magazine DNA with his fiance, Kurt Roberts.

‘I AM still a human (non binary/bi/me/Hughman) but I’m in a monogamous relationship with another human, who I love,’ Hugh wrote. 

The actor continued: ‘I don’t accept a label cause it limits me… if you want it; take it.

‘I chose zero labels for no other reason except the exclusion, limitations, separation, I believe are all one, deeeeep down. &…who knows? Why chose?!! Be you. Be true. Be free: to BE, to JUST BE… you, a human, same as me.’

In an interview with DNA, Hugh said that they were now comfortable with being called ‘gay’ despite not subscribing to labels.

‘Now I’m marrying a guy you can call me gay,’ Hugh explained to the magazine.

‘Whatever! The point is, we’re all human and, in my case, labelling put me into a box that felt like a cell.’

Last year, Hugh told Stellar magazine, ‘I believe labels are for clothes, not for people.’

In the same interview, the Packed to the Rafters actor said that they wanted to speak up for people who don’t use labels.

‘It occurred to me that no-one ever sticks up for people who don’t pick a label,’ they said.

Hugh proposed to Kurt, who is the general manager of digital lending at the Commonwealth Bank, on stage during the first night of the Adelaide Fringe Festival in March.

‘I went out and bought a ring and flew his family to be seated in the audience on the night. He had no idea. It was a really amazing moment,’ Hugh said.

After proposing, the loved-up pair shared a public embrace and a cheeky kiss before a besotted Hugh ran back on stage and said: ‘I just got engaged!’
