Are most male models gay

The fashion world has always been a staunch supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. But while many top designers and creative directors are gay, on the modelling side representation is still all too lacking, with casting directors continuing to rely heavily on heteronormative stereotypes when deciding on the face of their new campaign or collection.

While the perks are certainly enjoyed by most male models, there’s a dark side to the industry that is being exposed bit-by-bit as part of the #MeToo movement. Model Barrett Pall has argued that for an industry you’d assume would be very inclusive when it comes to LGBTQ people, it’s actually harder for gay male models to get cast.

The passion for thin, androgynous male models has led to competition between men and women for the same gigs, and several designers have used female models in recent menswear shows.

Gay culture embraces fashion and supports creativity- straight male culture embraces- well, sports and machismo. You can absolutely be a straight fashion designer, but you might as well accept that some ppl are going to jump to that conclusion based on statistics- because that will likely happen your entire career if you go into fashion.
