This just in: Blonde bombshell Derek Chadwick is G-A-Y gay.
The model/actor/Instastud just came out in a new interview for the August issue of Gay Times.
“I would identify now as gay,” 23-year-old Chadwick reveals. “I think I realized vaguely at school that I was gay, like officially. There was a point that I just knew.”
Chadwick, who has over 275K followers on Instagram, continues: “I have a very private life, and because I haven’t been out. I’ve been nervous about people seeing my personality because I didn’t want them to jump to conclusions about me without knowing my whole story.”
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.
He hopes that by being more open it will help other LGBTQ people who may be struggling.
“If I can just inspire one person, whoever that is, to be their true self or do something they were scared to do or didn’t feel 100% confident in, that would be the most rewarding part of all this,” he says. “Being honest and being who you are is always the best way to live.”
Chadwick also hopes that by being more open with his followers it will allow him to be more “personable on social media.”
“I’ll be able to post more on my stories and videos on Twitter,” he says. “It’ll allow me to stand up on the stage in front of the LGBTQ community and not feel so pressured about, ‘Oh my God, I wonder they think of me’, or, ‘I wonder what they’ll think of me’.”

Great for him. Just curious. What is it that he does that’s made him famous and have a 275K following? I looked and I still have no clue why this is important.
bobfarock156
Exactly!
bobfarock156
Exactly! Or maybe it is the white hair!
QueerTruth
“Important” is relative… But he is “famous” because he is an hot actor/model. He’s had a minor role in Scream Queens for instance.

It’s only news because people with a 6 pack that Graham lusts after, constitutes a stop the presses moment. I don’t see how this passes as groundbreaking or newsworthy, but because he’s half naked of course he has Graham’s attention.
DCguy
Somebody somewhat famous came out, meanwhile large amounts of other people are still in the closet. Everybody that comes out is good news

Well in a few weeks ring $500 go to WeHo and you will get 2 hours or he could date Calvin Klein

Gorgeous guy. The blond locks…..Oy. That stopped my present moment.
Just classify him under insta-stud. Or today’s morning goods. He fits right in.
tham
I think he’s cuter with his real hair color (fake platinum blond is just not attractive on most guys).
Good for him.
dinard38
I totally agree. He looks a lot better wth dark hair. Not many guys look good that platinum blonde hair.

Sorry, Derek… Dark hair or blonde, faded jeans, shirtless, short to longish shorts, I’d have been sure you ARE gay. I don’t mean to be mean, here, but you just don’t look straight in any of your pictures. I want you to know that’s fine with me. I’m gay, too, and you’d suit me right to the ground. I hope some naked snaps of you are out there on the internet. I WILL look. The cleft chin is the clincher for me… RobtheElder
Mack
I was thinking the same thing about the pictures. He really doesn’t look straight in any of them.
Tête Carrée
So why bring it up then?
Mattster
Strong resemblance to another pretty internet/instagram model, Derek Binsack. Separated at birth?
alfred
lmao, I remember him from when I used to use tumblr. He must have some ‘assets’ he is employing in order to get this kind of PR move….
skeldare
Same guy
daveedo
i’ve followed him for years (starting on tumblr back in the day) and never got the impression he was attempting to appear straight, i just assumed he was out and proud. good for him though!
Chrisk
Back to my first question. Why have you followed him? I’m just curious as to what it is that attracts that many followers.
mika1000
he changed his name several times on social media. he uploaded two coming out videos to youtube. deleted the first and then uploaded a remake. he’s cute to look at but more plastic than any tupperware. all just another social publicity stunt to boost his amount of followers. started out as Derek Binsak. then Derek Austin. then Derek Chadwick.
prarie pup
That guy is gay? Here’s another news flash: water is wet.
g-sing
this basic white boy has been out for years.

Here’s some tea for y’all. Miss thing used to go by another name Derek Binsack. in 2016 Derek actually came on out on Twitter tumblr and his YouTube channel as gay. He also went to prides (in the arrival he says he hasn’t but me and my friends did infaxf meet him at LA pride back in 2016 or 2015 and I’m looking for those pictures). The reason why he stopped using the Derek Binsack accounts was because he made some racially insensitive comments and people went after him. Shortly after giving a half assed apology he deleted all of his Derek Binsack accounts and I guess he died and grew out his hair and changed his style from frat bro to the basic LA model mold. I don’t know why he would lie to a huge publication other then to further his modeling “career” or restart his acting career. That it all I have to say about that.
nm4047
exactly when did he think he was str8, he definitely falls into the category of Helen Keller would pick him as a gay.
nitejonboy
Never heard of him, but now I’m hard, thanks a lot, dammit.
Donston
Have no idea who this dude is, probably another “model”.
Just because someone may seem “obvious” or may not be actively trying to hide things doesn’t mean they’re not struggling with self-understanding, self-comfort or being genuinely open. However, the fact that so many of these public “coming outs” often seem to involve manipulation/disingenuous, extreme evasivenss, cliche ridden statements, gay shame/internalized homophobia/self-misandry/self-misogyny, selling image and/or selling products is starting to get very disheartening.
It seems like Gay Times didn’t do their homework and just saw a pretty boy with 250,000 subscribers and decided to put his coming out on the cover. Either which way, I wish him well.
skeldare
He didn’t just come out, he’s been out publicly for years. Making a non-story even more irrelevant.
Bob LaBlah
For years I’ve been tempted to come out as an old fart but what prevents me is who would care.
Chrisk
We Care Bob. All you have to do is bleach your hair blond and f*** Graham. Then you too can get your very own queerty post. Tell him you’re only 19 though.
Josh447
Lol very funny. Can’t wait to
see the pics. ?
Josh447
That question mark isn’t really there, these droids are not the ones your looking for.
ElPillo
Bleached hair is never ever ever hot
Tête Carrée
Straight men seem to think it is. Where did all these blond women come from, Sweden (that is a cliché and inaccurate as well)? There are very few blond men but about 50% of women are. Are they a different race?
Esscourt
Another white, muscled, pretty boy comes out—TITANIC-SIZED YAWN!
Terrycloth
Smokin’ um. No….as far as coming out gay..you didnt need to it’s basically stamped on your forehead “Gay:…theres not a single picture that says otherwise
batesmotel
He has 270,000 followers and I’ve never heard of him or seen him before. Today when you come out as gay, that can help your career, since now I’ve heard of him thanks to this article. Although I won’t remember his name tomorrow. Actually I can’t even remember it right now as I’m typing this.
Tête Carrée
What career?
Terrycloth
Why does it say 34 comments but only 14 are shown …where are the rest…it says loading but they never appear….c’mon queerty.
Paulie P
some things are obvious, in his case very obvious.
Lacuevaman
he looks just like all the other ones
