Hunter Biden Jokes About Sexuality in Podcast Interview

During an appearance on the Luke Beasley Show podcast, Hunter Biden joked about his sexual orientation when asked if he was gay. He initially replied that he was "Only a little bit" and spent a portion of the 90-minute interview fluctuating his estimated percentage of attraction to men between 47 percent and 48.6 percent, eventually settling on being "back up to 48.5 percent gay."

Biden noted that if he were gay, his type would be someone "a little bit more masculine." The discussion follows a July appearance on the I’ve Had It podcast, where Biden claimed a "closeted gay mafia," largely composed of Republicans, exists in Washington, D.C., and argued that remaining closeted can lead to a "blackened heart."

Beyond the discussion of his sexuality, Biden referenced his history of substance abuse and provided an update on the health of his father, former President Joe Biden, stating that the former president's cancer has metastasized into his bones. The comments on his sexuality sparked social media debate, with some commentators suggesting he is bisexual, while critics argued the statements were a strategic attempt to maintain media attention for the Biden family.
