People notes that speculations about the "Teen Vampire" actor being gay been for several years. His response, however, has been interpreted as a confirmation of his sexuality. Part of the speculations were photographs that were published by a defunct magazine which has young gay men as its target audience.

The photos showed Colton and tennis champion Serena Williams in several poses embracing another man. He kisses, fondles and embraces the other man while in semi-naked state. He attempted to remove those photos from the internet, but the images resurfaced.

Another reason behind the suspicion is Colton's open support for the LGBT community by posting photos of his older brother and his male partner and daughter on Instagram.

In Twitter, a number of members reacted to the news of Colton's apparent coming out.

El Weinery writes, "Colton Haynes has a face that would make the gay porn industry million."

WE FOUND HIM comments that while having a nipple ring does not make a person gay, but "Colton Haynes having a nipple ring is pretty danged gay. And I love him for it." Similar comments on the actor's nipple ring were made by David Schwitzer and padraig tyrell.

Tatiana admits she was shocked by his admission but expresses her support for the actor. "I'm just shocked, but happy for u," she tweets.
