Also, Tonioli was once with a man named Paul who reports saying, was with him for two decades. But still, they did not sleep in the same bed which Tonioli describes in such a way,

"I always sleep on my own. I can’t sleep with somebody else. Always separate bedrooms, bathrooms, and closets. I’m very individual and I want my own space."

Maybe, it's his need for personal space that has stopped him and his partner from getting married.

Bruno Tonioli On Gay Struggle: "Whatever people do in bed, it shouldn't make a difference."

There exist many cases of people falling and being afraid of accepting who they are and what they believe in when it comes to their sexuality. The same can be said about Tonioli who has his fair share of struggles when it comes to him being able to accept what he loves and what he believes in.

Once he said,

"It was frightening. I really WAS the only gay in the village. I was labelled ‘the queenie guy’ and ‘the queer’, which was the worst thing you could be told in Italy in those days."

He added, 

 "I always danced very well, so the great-looking girls would dance around me. One night a bunch of lads got jealous about this. They shouted, ‘You poofter!’ and chased me from the club with a broken bottle, then pinned me up against a wall. I eventually chatted myself out of it with wit and imagination – but I was very lucky."

 Bullying is something that has taken over the world and to beat this Tonioli made some changes which he explains in such words,

"I realised I had to reinvent myself. So I grew my hair, started smoking, always wore the latest gear and had the best-looking girls as my friends. I turned it to my advantage and became very popular, just by doing an act. So bullies no longer had any reason to attack me."

Furthermore, he said, if people admire you, you are less likely to be taken on by them.

"Instead of being an object of derision, I was able to become an object of admiration. If there's a gay, middle-aged man everybody will take the p*** out of him, yet if it's Elton John everybody adores him. I think that's cruel. Whatever people do in bed, it shouldn't make a difference."

"A staunch critic of homophobia. Bruno - even at age 63 - continues to raise awareness about the unfair treatment of gays and LGBTQ community as a whole.
