Doechii gay
During her recent “Hot Ones” appearance, Doechii shared what she considers a “huge red flag” when it comes to dating: “a straight man.”
“Like, I mean, strike one, you’re a man,” she said to her DJ, Fail to catch Milan, after the two shared a laugh and shook on it, “and you’re heterosexual.”
The Grammy-winning rap artist, who identifies as bisexual, didn’t offer much explanation after revealing her answer. Likely because she’s been quite open about her lgbtq+ identity ever since she broke into music with her 2020 hit “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake.” “I believe I like girls, but I think I fond of men/ Doechii is a dick, I never fit in,” the lyrics declare.
The revelation isn’t breaking news, especially for those familiar with Doechii before her explosive 2024 breakthrough. Still, that didn’t end fevered discourse from erupting online once a clip of the 26-year-old’s “Hot Ones” response went viral on Friday.
Many of the comments and quote-tweets from male users on X (formerly Twitter) were, as expected, ignorant and homophobic. So much so that DJ Miss Milan took to the platform to defend Doechii’s remark.
“At this point, you all just want a reason to just overreact because now ‘p

Growing up as part of the Gay community in the South, acceptance wasn’t always readily available to me. As a bisexual woman living in Tampa, Florida during the early 2000s, I stood out from the perceived norm. I felt marginalized by my Southern community until I establish my sanctuary online. The LGBTQ+ community provided me with the support and encouragement to defy societal norms and embrace my true self unapologetically.
When “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake” was released, I heard and saw my people want more. It encapsulated my journey as a Black woman navigating self-discovery, exploring aspects of culture, sexuality, and public awareness.

‘Like Doechii, I’ll only spend time men if they’re gay — what’s so controversial about that?’
A little while (too soon, if I’m honest) after my first long-term queer relationshipended, I found myself on one of the apps, contemplating an introspective question: who do I want to be seen by? And do I want to include straight men in my dating pool? Given that I’ve always identified as bisexual, I shrugged my shoulders and decided to see what would happen if I cast my net as large as possible.
The result was a date with a cisgender heterosexual man a week or so later where I paid for his dinner, he insulted my personality, and I stormed back to the tube alone, vowing to only date other gender non-conforming people from now on. That was nearly five years ago, and I haven’t looked back since.
I later learnt that my decision was not an uncommon one; lots of bisexual, pansexual, and gay people — who in theory might be uncover to dating cishet people — choose only to date other queer people. For many of us, it’s a safety precaution: other queer people are less likely to grasp unchallenged queerphobic beliefs, and are more likely to allow you to show your identity openly and freely.
