Collins made the first comments about his sexuality at Creation Entertainment’s Supernatural Official Convention in East Brunswick, New Jersey, People Magazine reported. In a video shared on Twitter, the 47-year-old actor asked the crowd, “By a show of force, how many of you would consider yourself an introvert? How many extroverts? And how many bisexuals?”
He then replied, “I’m all three.” He later posted a lengthy message on Twitter clarifying that he actually didn’t turn out to be “bisexual” and was in fact “straight.”
“Speaking to the audience at a fan convention in New Jersey, I said I have ‘all three’ things: an introvert, an extrovert and a bisexual,” the actor tweeted. “My awkward intention was to wave it off to actually talk about my sexuality, but I screwed that up badly and I understand that was coming out as bisexual.”
“That wasn’t my intention so I have to correct the record: I’m not bisexual,” he added. “I happen to be straight, but I’m also a fierce ally, and the last thing I want to do is falsely co-opt the struggles of the LGBTQIA+ community. I believe and fully support that we must sanctify the human right to honestly express our identities and have the freedom to openly love whomever we choose.”
“I am deeply sorry for the awkwardness of my language,” Collins said continued. “I want to be a better ally and I’m getting sick because I could have done anything to make things worse. I’m trying to learn, trying to do better, and I’ll keep listening. Thank you and I’m sorry.”
