Who is Joshua Bassett?
A Disney star who has been the teen obsession, Joshua Bassett is a 20-year-old singer who is currently in the popular “The High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”. Born on 22nd December 2000, he is actually an American actor, songwriter, and singer who not only was born in Oceanside, California but was also raised there.
His parents Taylor and Laura are blessed to be the parents of such a star. Having as many as five sisters and being home-schooled, the actor got enough time to focus on his career. He started appearing in the musical theatre when he was just 7 and after a decade, he was seen as Rickey Bowen in “The High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”. Undoubtedly, he has been the heartthrob of many women in the industry.
Joshua dated the “Driver’s License” singer Olivia Rodrigo, in fact, the song was also directed towards him and her “The High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” co-star Sabrina Carpenter. The lyrics made it clear to the fans that Olivia was hinting about Joshua and Sabrina’s alleged relationship.
You may have already heard the lyrics, “And you’re probably with that blonde girl / Who always made me doubt / She’s so much older than me / She’s everything I’m insecure about.”
Moreover, Joshua even claimed to have written a song for Rodrigo but when Olivia’s song came out after 6 months, she said, “I just can’t imagine how you could be so OK now that I’m gone / Guess you didn’t mean what you wrote in that song about me.”
So, it was kind of a messy relationship that did lead to forming multiple cracks in the relationships of the three famous faces in the industry. However, Joshua’s sexuality was never a concern until the fans and media started dissecting the entire situation.

Is Joshua Bassett Gay?
The social media outlets were already labeling Joshua as gay ever before his coming out to the public. Joshua was in a messy past and he was focusing on self-development. But his one statement about Harry Styles had changed everything. Joshua was always seen as a handsome hunk who is straight and going to date probably one of the hottest ladies in the industry.
Joshua’s 2021 was difficult for him in many ways. He did experience a near-fatal health crisis and then opened up regarding the abuse that he had undergone as a child and teen. However, the statement that created the most impact was him “identifying as a member of the LGBTQ+ community”.
In May, after Bassett called Harry Styles “hot” during an interview, it instantly went viral. Questions kept coming in Bassett’s way and he said, “They kept asking me questions about Harry Styles, and I was like, ‘This is pretty much my coming out video,'”I wasn’t intending on saying that, but I also wasn’t kidding.”

Final Lines
Though many failed to understand the importance of the situation, Bassett published a note on Instagram saying, “My entire life people have told me my sexuality. People have shamed me for things they know nothing about. I want to say thank you to those of you who stand for love and acceptance.”
“Love who you love shamelessly,” “It’s OK to still be figuring out who you are. Life’s too short to let ignorance and hatred win. I choose love.” “I feel so much more liberated.” “It showed me how silly it is to hide who you are in order to appease a small group of people. At what cost do you bury your heart and soul?”
Joshua Bassett came out as gay and he is open about his sexuality and now he doesn’t fear public scrutiny or anything.
Joshua all thanked “The High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” gay showrunner, Tim Federle to come out with his truth. Thus, you know now that Joshua Bassett is gay. We are happy to find out that Joshua ultimately found peace and hopefully, you are too.
