Santino Rice From Project Runaway A Gay Man? Or Just Someone Who Supports It?

Did you know that a whopping number of nine million people belonging to the LGBT group reside in the United States? 

Well, the particular term isn't unfamiliar in the entertainment industry as well. While many celebs and public figures, who belong to the LGBT group, are vocal about their sexuality to the media, personalities like Daniel Levy, Shepherd Smith, and Matthew Daddario had been the victim of the gay rumors; just because they support the LGBT community.

Talking about the famous American fashion designer and former 'Project Runway' contestant Santino Rice, he has been supporting the gay community for a long time, that has resulted in him being speculated to be a gay man. But is that the truth, or just a misunderstanding?

Let's get to the bottom of the matter to find that out!

Santino Rice: Is He Gay? 

Although Santino Rice is consistently seen raising his voice in favor of the gay rights, he hasn't cleared up the curiosity regarding his own sexuality. As per sources, Santino was believed to be bisexual.

Although he hasn't been with a boyfriend publicly, Rice once stated that he is attracted to both men and women.

 "You can just call me gay but I like men and I am attracted to beautiful women. I didn't like the negativity that was attached to being gay growing up so that is why I have problems with the label."

But, Santino hasn't mentioned his sexuality precisely, which still leaves the matter unclear.

On May 9, 2012, Santino tweeted his request to help gay men be free from Chechnya.
