The 1975 frontman Matty Healy has always toyed with his own masculinity in his clothes and performances on stage, and rumors swirled about his sexuality a few years ago when he told an interviewer he was "still asking myself questions" about his own Kinsey scale.

In his latest interview with Shortlist, the 29-year-old opened up publicly about his sexuality for the first time.

"Well, you can look at whether sexuality is a social construct, which of course, it isn’t," Healy began. "When I was a kid most of the people [around me] who were successful and doing what they wanted to do were gay. I associated that freedom of self with freedom of expression. I think I looked up to them, not as pariahs or outsiders, but as people who were truly themselves. I’ve always found that engaging. I’ve thought: 'Maybe it’s unusual to be as flamboyant as I am, or unusual to be as in the gay world as I am...What does that mean? Am I a bit gay?' And then I was, like, 'No, that’s not how it works! It comes down to who you want to f*ck.'"

But is he attracted to men?

"Yes, but not in a carnal, sexual way," he explained. "The other sex is still attractive, it’s just that sex is weird, isn’t it? Do you know what I mean? It’s, like, Do I want to do blowjobs with a guy? No. Do I want to kiss a guy? Yeah, kind of..."

He goes on to say that he's kissed a guy, but doesn't want to dive into it publically as to not upset his girlfriend.
