Brennen Taylor, the YouTuber and former Vine star, has publicly addressed persistent rumors about his sexuality and his relationship with fellow creator Colby Brock. In a joint YouTube video uploaded in 2017, the two clarified that they are not romantically involved, despite widespread speculation.
Brennen Taylor's Sexuality Clarified
Rumors about Taylor being gay began circulating after a viral prank video titled "I Like You," in which Brock referred to Taylor as his boyfriend. The clip surprised many viewers and led to ongoing assumptions about their relationship. In response, Taylor and Brock released a joint video to set the record straight.
During the video, Brock stated: "Two best friends, we hang out all the time, yeah, we have a bromance, but that doesn't mean we are gay... I guess there's nothing wrong with being gay, but we are straight." Taylor added: "Like honestly we're just friends, you know what I'm saying, like we're just like two best friends, like can't two guys be best friends without being called gay?"
Taylor also explained how the rumors affected his dating life: "I get like hundreds of replies that's like Colby's hurt, Colby's heart broken, or you're cheating on Colby, and stuff, and it's like that's funny and stuff guys but like now this girl don't want nothing to do with me because she think I got a dude named Colby."
