In 2011, a TV series known as Shameless came to the TV screens. It talked about the less-than-ideal Gallagher family. There were six kids, a mother who wasn’t around, and a father who liked drinking.
One of the kids was Ian. He is gay but hides it for some time before telling his truth. Cameron Monaghan played Ian and he was so good at it that some people now began to wonder about his sexuality. Well, Shameless’ Cameron Monaghan is not gay in real life and has only dated women over the years.
Is Cameron Monaghan Gay?
Cameron Monaghan is not gay. He has only dated ladies in real life. Why people may think he is not straight is because of the role that he is most known for i.e. Ian Gallagher in the TV series, Shameless, from 2011 to 2021. His character dealt with the whole gamut of experiences that gay persons often have to deal with.
Ian initially hides his sexuality from his family until his elder brother Lip discovers his cache of gay porn. Lip attempts to help him to get over his sexuality by procuring him fellatio from a female. When this doesn’t work, Lip accepts him as he is and supports him.
Throughout the run of Shameless, Cameron Monaghan’s gay character gets into relationships with different men. Some of them are older than him, while some are married and closeted gays, for instance, Kash. Ian also briefly has a romance with a bisexual male. His most consistent relationship is, however, with Mickey Milkovich, a neighbor. They end up getting married in season ten of Shameless.
For being so good at playing Ian, Critics’ Choice gave Cameron Monaghan the award for best-supporting actor in a comedy series in 2015. Many have also talked up the character for being deep and not just the clichéd gay teen normally seen on TV.
Cameron Monaghan also has admiration for the character he played. As he sees it, Ian isn’t the typical gay teen. He wasn’t showy but was strong and tough. Monaghan also said he was happy to represent the gay community and feels a responsibility to young gay people who want role models to look up to.
How good Cameron Monaghan was in Shameless has made many say that he might be gay. But in 2013, He wrote a post on Twitter that he was not gay and that people shouldn’t even be throwing up such a poser. Monaghan said that time was the only time that he would talk about the issue and that for one to have to come out as straight is unusual. So, there you have it from the horse’s mouth. Cameron Monaghan is not gay.
