On Gay Rumors
Benoftheweek’s fashion sense and overall look are a little bit on the soft side. Some fans also think that his voice is not really that manly.

He said that he used to get called gay, or something to that effect, by other kids because of those factors.
Although Ben was open to sharing these things with his followers, he never directly discussed his sexuality. He never really answers the gay rumors thrown at him and never identifies what his sexual preference is. He had always been mum about the subject.
