No one can say with certainty BUT things that makes me š:
- follows a lot of non-celeb gay men on IG. - 3 confirmed relationship in his entire career, none of which he had chemistry with / seemed pretty disinterested. - His relationship with Rebecca Rittenhouse looked like two besties tryna convince us theyāre an item. - Camp Podwall. Need I say more? - Colton Haynes coming out and saying Eric Podwall forced his gay clients (Chace is a client) to stay in the closet + set them up with women/started rumors. - Chace living in Chelsea in the late 2000s (a gay neighborhood) and had a gym membership at Equinox in Chelsea (a very queer-friendly gym. Iykyk) - When he lived in NYC, fans spotted him going into a gay bar called The Cock (more than once) - That one person who claimed they worked out at Equinox and noticed Chace coming by during āpeak cruising hoursā and spending a ālong time in the steam roomā. - A girl who said she worked in the fashion industry in NYC claimed that the rumors about Chace is true and that itās insider knowledge. Basically everyone knows except us, the public. - Sometimes interviews, Chace would say things like āsignificant otherā, āpartnerā or āmeeting peopleā rather than āgirlfriendā or āmeeting girlsā. Maybe Iām looking too deep into it? Maybe not. - His parents are extremely white Jesus loving flashy conservatives who care a lot about appearances and image. Probably why heās never coming out.
What do you think? If you have more things to add, please do so.

OP, Chace is nearing 40 and the media hasn't reported any outings ā so to speak ā with him and any other woman since his (very) brief dating history during his "Gossip Girl" days with some Nashville country singer. Living in Chelsea and working out at Equinox isn't proof of anything, especially now that Chelsea is mostly straight, but I was living in NYC when he visited The Cock and I honestly don't think any straight man has ever set foot in there.
Yes, it's an open secret in NYC circles that Chace loves the homosex. And yes, his family back in Texas are all conservative assholes, though that's true for nearly all affluent white Texas suburbanites.

Thereās literally a TMZ video of them holding hands and several pictures of them together. She didnāt make it up. Also, weāre in agreement that her bragging about taking his virginity is disturbing and creepy as fuck, but it did happen. Although, it does make me question his sexuality the fact that heās had a gf in high school for 3 years but never had sex with her. Maybe societal expectation and pressure made him think getting with a playboy model was something to boast about and perhaps a way to convince people heās straight.

Colton thought coming out publicly would solve all of his problems and he quickly learned that his issues weren't about being publicly closeted. If Colton would have remained vague he could have booked a CBS procedural after he was done with Arrow.

One of the highest-rated procedurals nowadays is "The Equalizer," starring openly queer Queen Latifah. Despite CBS supposedly having both the oldest network audience and the most "traditionally conservative" one, and the show focusing almost entirely on people of color who are mistreated in some fashion by white assholes, it's been in the Nielsen top 10 since it started.
Also, "9-1-1: Lone Star" is basically an amped up procedural with completely absurd scenarios, but I assume it's stating the obvious that "Tarlos" is one of its biggest draws, and it too remains highly rated because of it.
Point being: being gay or bi is NOT the career killer it used to be, and the reason the likes of Colton Haynes and Matt Bomer haven't gotten much work is because neither is a good actor. (Bomer can't even get much work *despite* being married to one of Hollywood's top agents!)
Finally, Neil Patrick Harris has now been out since 2006, and it hasn't affected his career in the slightest; if anything it *improved* afterwards! He hosted the Tonys four times, the Emmys twice, and even the Oscars (and was the first openly gay man to host them). He's also gotten consistent work, mostly playing straight characters (though he admittedly played the lead in last year's "Uncoupling" series about a gay couple's breakup).

R106 Youāre not wrong but Iāve always felt like Chace was deluded enough to believe that heās capable of bagging āleading manā roles. With the success of The Boys, he probably has more incentive to stay buried in the closet. Coming out might not be career suicide in 2023, but it certainly limit your options and the offers you get. Hollywood still hesitate to cast gay men as leads in major movies. If thatās what Chace wants, heās never coming out.

If you're a man being gay or bi is not the career killer it used to be but... it is a career limiter the more open you are.
If you're a woman it's way less of an issue. The straights will often overlook it.
And Colton doesn't work because he was difficult and because of his (hopefully former) personal issues. Matt Bomer has worked non-stop for years and his husband does PR. He's not an agent.

He's in the same boat as Jim Parsons. That's where the limiting comes in. They'll work and work and work. They'll do gay projects. One can pull off straight ones. They'll never open a blockbuster film and it's unlikely they'll carry a TV series alone.
Chace Crawford is on a hit series but he's not the star of it and if he were out, he'll likely never get that chance.

I always thought he enjoyed male attention more than attention from females. Heās always talking about how great it is that he gets recognized by men at the gym now more than fangirls thanks to The Boys.
He might not be a good flirt but he was definitely enjoying this interviewer (who is gay) thirsting over him:

This interview is almost 15 years old but I remember finding it so interesting when Leighton Meester asked Chace whether he considered himself to be romantic and his answer was: āI wouldnāt know. You have to ask my past ex peopleā to which he then corrected to āgirlfriendā when Leighton laughed at the āpeopleā part. I think Iāve ruled out he was straight from that point on. Pretty sure heās either gay or bisexual with a male preference.

Da fuck?? He's complained *repeatedly* about being typecast as gay, and Ryan Murphy's cast him in so many things I've at least wondered if the two are fucking! First a guest stint on "Glee" (because OF COURSE), and then "American Horror Story," the Versace miniseries, a lengthy arc on the "Will & Grace" reboot & "The Boys in the Band." Even his character on "Doom Patrol" was gay! (and we rarely saw Matt's face since he was literally invisible)
Aside from that he's had bit parts as guest stars and in microbudgeted indie flicks. I guess that counts as "working," but I think it's safe to say Simon remains the only real source of income in their family.

I think some of you are missing the point. Being an out gay man is not the career killer that it was once was, but you will have a limited career - even if you have leading man good looks. You're not going to lead an action movie. You're not going to be the romantic lead in a romcom, unless it's a gay romcom written by Billy Eichner or Ryan Murphy. Jim Parsons did well on a sitcom playing a geek, but even he didn't come out publicly until season 4 of that series when the show was already established and a hit.
It really all boils down to what kind of career you want. My guess is Chace Crawford wants to keep rolling the dice a little bit longer.

Once Bomer came out he cranked his demeanor dial from butch and confident to softspoken and passive, and lost most of the muscle he'd packed on to play dudebros. If he's happier being his true self I applaud that, but when casting agents only see you in interviews and public appearances looking like a slender runway model and acting like a genteel Southern lady, they are not going to come calling for action hero and romantic leading man roles.

Personally, I donāt think heās gay or bi. Iām actually quite surprised itās an unpopular opinion to think heās neither. Heās a sports fanatic dudebro, I get no gay vibes from him at all. Just me I guess.

Sports fanatic dudebros are gay, as well as hella ATHLETES, let's not slip into gay stereotypes. There are plenty of masc HOMOSEXUAL/BISEXUAL men who watch and play sports. If you are referring to femininity that's more gender expression then sexual orientation.

No, we assume you're a woman because only obsessed fangurls continuously insist ā in defiance of LITERALLY ALL of the evidence ā that their "#1 FAVORITE STAR" (always a guy) absolutely *must* be straight. Despite having zero known long-term romantic relationships. And being single at nearly 40. We've seen this same shit for years with similarly obsessed fans of Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and all the other "just haven't found the right woman" "confirmed" bachelors in Hollywood.
