The Bachelor franchise does things differently Down Under.
For the latest edition of the Australian version of the reality dating series, the show veered from its traditional format and engaged in a little ménage à trois of sorts by following three single men on their journey to find love on television.

While all three Bachelors were looking for their Mrs. Right, one of the wannabe grooms became the subject of rumors alleging he was bisexual and planning to announce it on the series.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Jed McIntosh is a drummer for the band Moon Monroe and has worked with fellow rockers such as Lenny Kravitz. With a Machine Gun Kelly vibe, McIntosh sports a similar rocker aesthetic with bleach blonde hair, black eyeliner, and a cornucopia of body tattoos.
Now, following the show’s finale in which McIntosh’s marriage proposal to Alesia Delaney was denied, the 25-year-old is breaking his silence on all the sexuality speculation for the first time.

“It’s funny, my mother came to me and said, ‘Jed I didn’t know you were bisexual!’. And I’m like, ‘you don’t understand mum, it’s not true,’” McIntosh confirmed to Yahoo! Lifestyle.
While he called reports that he was going to come out on television “wild,” the musician said he is used to having people question his orientation and it doesn’t bother him at all.
“I grew up in a rural country town dressing and looking the way that I do, so for me, it’s nothing I haven’t heard before. I don’t take it as an offense, and I don’t think it’s a bad thing, “ he added.
“So many of my mates are gay or bisexual, but it’s just funny how a lot of the narrative is ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ but then the media does exactly that.”
Despite having his proposal turned down on the finale, McIntosh and Delaney are still together and working on their relationship.
Bisexual or not, McIntosh has lots of swoon-worthy pics for all to enjoy …

in what world does the ‘narrative: don’t judge a book by (or is it bi) it’s cover’ exist. Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck etc. I find it hard to believe he’s not bi at the very least. Just another publicity whore.
mikhailmaui
I would much rather date this so-called bi guy seeking fame than an old troll who has nothing better to do than sit at home on his keyboard bashing others such as you are doing.
bumblebum
I’m a sorta old gay, and agree with mikhailmaui. But all, me too, need to move on and get a life
barryaksarben
Omg you are too funny. alot of people aren’t afraid to share alot while others like you are too shame filled or some other damage that you can’t hide hard as you try
skeldare
Those tattoos are hideous. The straights can keep him.
Cozmo2
What stud? I don’t see a stud
mailliw110
I think it’s in his nose. In any case, he’s more twinky than stud!
sfhairy
Thank you! I was looking to see if there was a stud in the background of the pics. Not this “child” with tattoo’s.
Diplomat
Tasty. Love those tats.
People miss one of the main questions about a guy’s sexuality and that is are you bisexual. This guy could definitely be swinging both ways and never cop to being gay, the most tarnished term in the human language, saddled with alphabet soup and all the baggage.
bachy
I find his look quite sexy and alluring, too. Definitely in the Lenny Kravitz, Machine Gun Kelly, Zayn Malik, Jared Leto, bad boy rocker zone. It’s a replay of Heroin Chic – but with more tatts and glamour.
Paulie P
Buy a turtleneck.

I think you all at Queerty left out a word after “accept his rose”….the word missing is BUD.
Yes, i know the word is rosebud.
Be real Jed.
Terrycloth
I watch hgtv House Hunters. .so many of these fake wives and ” husbands” looking for a house together..yes they do show gay couples too .but it’s so obvious the guy is gayer than $3 bill with a fake wife..they need better actors
missvamp
he’s got machine gun kelly vibes, only a tad less trashy.
Bravura2022
I don’t care about his sexaulity im more interested whereche gets his clothes and who are the designers no exaggeration they deserve recognition & high praise guaranteed!????
bachy
He’s serving the lewks for sure

Why do otherwise handsome young men like this mar themselves with facial piercings and tattoos, and large tattoos at that? Sadly this will limit his future employemnt opportunities as visible and large tattoos are still taboo in many places and if he wants to be a model, forget it.

the same reason years ago guys dressed like clones – it is called fashion
