We can add another entry to our list of bisexual celebrities.

Via a heartfelt 15-minute video posted to his channel, YouTube star Shane Dawson says he “woke up this morning” and felt a need to share his story with viewers.

He went on to say he isn’t gay or straight, merely "open to love in any way," explaining further:

"I’m making this video because I feel like it could help a lot of people. Over the last year, I have been extremely sexually confused. I mean, my whole life.

"But this last year is when it really hit me. I always wished that I was gay, that I was just 100 percent gay – for so many reasons. No. 1, that means I would know who I was. No. 2, it would be a lot easier for me to be accepted by people because I wear wigs and dresses on the internet and I’m feminine and all these things.

"It’d be so much easier to be just like, ‘Yeah, I’m gay.’

"But I’m not. I’m not really gay and I can’t sit here and say that I am because that’s not real and that’s not genuine. But I also can’t sit here and say that I’m straight. This is something I’ve come to the conclusion through therapy and from being honest with myself. I am bisexual.

"I have said it out loud once before in therapy, and I have never really talked about it until now."

Applaud Dawson for making this brave announcement and watch it in full above.
