Is He Gay?
As far as we know Tyson Ritter is not gay, at least he hasn’t said so. However, in 2017, his band released a lead single titled Sweat and a second one titled Close your eyes from their forthcoming fifth studio album which may have suggested something.
In the first part of the video narrative, Tyson Ritter played Besty – a cross-dresser who is also a sex worker/ He sneaks out at night to work and goes home to his nuclear family very early in the morning. In the daytime, Besty hosts a family get together but soon becomes a little bit stressful and uncomfortable when he realizes there is still nail polish on his fingers from the night before.
The video came under severe scrutiny from the transgender community. Some say it is disrespectful for a straight, white, cis-male plays a transgender woman who chooses sex work and that it is also dangerous since such women (transgender) are being attacked and killed at an alarming rate. Others feel his Besty character perpetuates the stereotype that “men in dresses” are deviants who get their sexual fix from simply paying johns.
Ritter, however, said the video was only meant to portray the functioning identity crisis and expectations on how people are supposed to be in public places.
