Supernatural actor Misha Collins appears to have come out as bisexual. Collins, 47, who played the role of Castiel on the long-running CW fantasy drama from 2008 to 2020, appeared at Creation Entertainment’s Supernatural Official Convention on Saturday.
During a Q&A with the audience, he asked them, “How many of you would consider yourself introverts? How many extroverts? And how many bisexuals?”
Collins added, “I’m all three.”
A video of his comments was shared on Twitter.
How about we take this to the next level?

Collins, who has been married to Victoria Vantoch since 2001 and has an 11-year old son and nine-year-old daughter with her, did not offer any more details. He joked, “See, it would have been weird if I just said: ‘By a show of hands, how many bisexuals are in the audience?’ But I’d rather do it as a questionnaire, that’s more socially acceptable.”
Several outlets have since run stories saying he came out as bisexual and Collins has not issued any further clarification or comment.
Besides Supernatural, Collins has had small roles in Nip/Tuck, ER and CSI. He currently presents the PBS show, Roadfood on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. He’s also a bestselling poet and is currently promoting his new audiobook, Some Things I Still Can’t Tell You.

Collins’ character on Supernatural, Castiel, came out as gay in the show’s final season. Collins has previously spoken about how happy he was with the character’s development.
“I think Castiel’s ending on the show is really just what I would have wanted. I knew the ending that he was going to meet with for about a year, and I was really happy about it. And I’m still happy about it.
“I’m really curious to see how the audience responds to the end for Cas. But it feels important. It feels like it makes his arc on the show meaningful, not just in terms of the mythology of the show, but in terms of a message for the greater world and our particular moment in history. I’m very happy with it.”

Collins, who has previously voiced support for LGBTQ rights, has a big following online, with 4.5million followers on Instagram.
His Twitter account has a pinned, viral tweet from 2020 of him appearing to eat a rainbow. Whether he was making an oblique reference to his Supernatural character coming out, or hinting to followers something about his own sexuality, is open to speculation.

UPDATE – 04.26.22
A few hours after this story was published, Collins issued a statement clarifying that he is not bisexual but is straight. He tweeted “I want to deeply apologize for misspeaking this weekend. At a fan convention in New Jersey, when I was talking with the audience I said that I was ‘all three’ things: an introvert, an extrovert and a bisexual.
“My clumsy intention was to wave off actually discussing my sexuality, but I badly fumbled that and understand that was seen as me coming out as bisexual.
“This was not my intention so I need to correct the record: I am not bisexual. I happen to be straight, but I am also a fierce ally and the last thing I want to do is falsely co-opt the struggles of the LGBTQIA+ community.”
“I am deeply sorry for the clumsiness of my language. I want to be a better ally and I feel sick to my stomach that I might have done anything to make things worse. I’m trying to learn, trying to do better and I will keep listening. Thanks and I’m sorry, Misha.”

congrats to him, im sure it was very liberating for him to be able to say that out loud for what im assuming is the first time, welcome to the family buddy.

His acting career is waning as he now has resorted to hosting a little-watched PBS show. This gets him much needed publicity, and the woke crowd fell for it. 🙂 Perhaps this will jump-start his career.

Well, I don’t share your cynicism, but I am hostile to the idea of anyone having to “come out”. Who cares? Your sexuality should matter only to you and the person you’re sexing – it’s of zero consequence to anyone else. Just live your life, be the best person you can be and cause no unnecessary harm to other living beings. That’s it! No need to publicize your sexuality or your gender for clicks and likes. In fact, seeking external validation for one’s existence can be dangerous for one’s mental health and I think this is one of the major driving forces behind the modern epidemic of surging mental crises. You don’t need to see “representation” of yourself to feel validated. Validation should come from within and should be independent from all external influences. But then again, if we all subscribed to these simple tenets, then race and gender hustlers would all be out of a job, wouldn’t they?

Still trolling? All of your comments on this forum are toxic. When someone says “could you be anymore of an asshole”…… it’s rhetorical, not a contest sweetie.

A troll will post any drivel to get a reaction from normal level thinking folks. It is the only amusement they have. Sexually frustrated. Lonely with no friends. Shun by society. Low self-esteem. Poor appearance and of low intelligence. Google search their bible.

I suspect many adults, when examining their feelings privately, do not align with a perfect Kinsey 0 (exclusively heterosexual) or a perfect Kinsey 6 (exclusively homosexual). It has to be liberating to recognize and cop to a subtler sexual variation.
“Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories… The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects.” – Alfred Kinsey

I’m not a fan of completely dismissing heterosexuality and homosexuality. Problematic and harmful views and agendas can start when you do that. However, yes, perhaps less than 50% of people fit perfectly into what is traditionally considered “heterosexual” or “homosexual”. Sexuality itself is such a vast thing (it includes types and rates of attraction, desire, arousal, enjoyment, passion, preferences, paraphiliacs, fetishes, the general strength of your sex drive). Many people experience different types and degrees of fluidity or contradictions. And the gender, sexual, affection, affirmation, romantic attachment, emotional investment, long-term commitment spectrum is wide and varied. It is important that we start viewing people and their dimensions, sexuality, psychology, motivations as individual.

Before people say: “who cares” and “he’s in a hetero marriage” and “he’s only doing this to try to jumpstart his career”.
Publicly “coming out” or adhering to whatever identity can still be a big deal for a lot of people. That’s especially the case if someone has spent years contending with stuff such as closet pressures, internalized phobias, gay inferiority complexes, queer insecurities, mental health struggles, fluidity, contradictions, questioning, trying to grasp where they are in the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum. I would never want to take that relief away from anyone even if they still indulge hetero commitments/marriage and still benefit from gender/hetero normalcy. The only issues I have are people clearly using “coming out” and queerdom as a stepping stone or are exploiting it for attention, sociological, money purposes (that’s not so obvious here). While there are of course many people who want to be “out” but who still exude internalized phobias, insecurities, gay panic, gay resentments, homo inferiority. And there are some “queers” who use “coming out” or identities to shield or try to absolve their f-ed up behaviors. If someone doesn’t fit into at least one of those categories, it’s whatever.

He and his wife have been broken up for several years now, so “he’s in a hetero marriage” doesn’t even apply anymore. Queerty’s info is just wrong… again.

Of course Bunny the twat has nothing nice to say.

And Bunny the Twat: You really, really need to get f**ked…..or something. You’re an incorrigible attention whore with a toxic personality heretofore unseen on a blog….

MISHA COLLINS IS NOT BI, on Twitter he explained it all got misconstrued and is apologizing for his error. Will Queerty walk back on this post? I just read it on TWITTER and it was him he wrote 5 consecutive tweets and feels real bad for faux pa.

his bisexuality is the worst kept secret in the world. and he hasn’t exactly tried to keep it hidden. on several occasions i’ve encountered him on the apps. even had some fun and flirty conversations with him. if he wants to identify as “straight,” that’s his right… just like the guys on grindr who put “straight” as their display name but say they want to s your d or want to have your eggplant in their peach lmao
Dannyzackery
He’s NOT bisexual. He later clarified he’s not.
cuteguy
This m0ron was only looking for attention bc he later took it back. He needed attention bc he’s a nobody in Hollywood.
