Is Pedro Pascal gay?
Pascal has long been a supporter of LGBTQIA+ rights, as evidenced by his Instagram feed. In 2017, people started to speculate he was gay after he gave an exclusive interview to Los Angeles Times, in which he said, “Straight men can have—do have—crushes on other men. It doesn’t make them gay, it doesn’t make them bi.” Revealing more about his middle school days he said, “The guys that picked on me in middle school in Corona del Mar probably have a crush on me now. Maybe they had a crush on me then and that’s why they picked on me.”
Moreover, rumors about his sexual orientation increased after it came to light that he has a very friendly relationship with 'Star Wars' actor, Oscar Issac. Both the actors flaunt their friendship on Instagram frequently and Pascal once called Issac the "love of his life" in Spanish in one Instagram caption. Despite their long-standing friendship, neither has admitted to a romantic engagement with the other nor even recognized the fanfare that has surrounded their supposed romance.
