In a recent live stream, numerous comments accusing Billy of having a girlfriend were left, which sparked the actor to address the comments his self. Billy exclaimed that he already said he was gay and called out those who assumed he had a girl friend.
A second of clip from an unknown date showes Babe questioning “how gay” he needed to be for people to believe him.
🚨 #BillyBabe publicly come out as gay and respond head-on to the wave of attacks they’ve faced.
Billy: “Where’s the hater? I’ve already said I’m gay! Does everyone in this world have to be my girlfriend, or what?”
Babe: “How gay do I need to be for you to feel satisfied?” pic.twitter.com/wBOndMJiBT

The pair of stars are believed to be a couple IRL as well, and these recent declarations have sparked discussion amongst fans. Many questioned why those who consume BL (boy love) content can have homophobic views, and constantly question actors who have chosen to be open with them.
billybabe have been dating for a long time and getting hate over this by the way. it’s genuinely upsetting them being harassed because they don’t try to “prove” their relationship to anyone, therefore being called fake and liars. LEAVE QUEER COUPLES ALONE. dumbfucks https://t.co/yosNznpx8K

Tell me you’re homophobic without telling me you’re, but let me guess they only watch bls and fetishized gay men, but only if it works within their fantasy. These fans are truly disgusting. They’re literally saying queer people can only be accepted if they hide their true selves?… https://t.co/l62tA90eu6

Some BL fans are hypocrites and homophobic. They wanted their CP to date but once the actors came out as queer, the same fans bashed them. Fvck YALL. Seriously https://t.co/TAu2S417R9
