After coming out as bisexual recently, The Voice season 8 winner Sawyer Fredericks thanks friends and fans for their love and support.
“Thank you for all your kindness”
“I wanted to thank you all for your kindness and overwhelming support about me being BI,” Sawyer wrote. “i wasn’t even expecting such a big response, and I see that what I said resonated with a lot of you. it goes to show how much this still needs to be heard. Thank you all #outandproud #lgbtq.”
Earlier this month, the singer-songwriter wrote on Instagram, “Since I have not publicly said this in a post, I wanted say that I am Bisexual,” Sawyer wrote. “When I was younger I thought I was straight, because I was more attracted to women, and I didn’t know there were more options besides Gay and Straight, So I just assumed I was Straight.”
Sawyer’s delight in the support he received comes after he concluded his message saying, “I’ll probably lose some fans over this post, but that’s fine with me.”
Sawyer moved off the family farm
In a recent interview with The Gazette, Sawyer shared that he had moved off the family farm and into a 700 square foot apartment with his partner, near Troy, New York. “It’s very different from living on a farm. It’s cool. It’s got a lot of character. I’ve enjoyed it.” The piece explains that Sawyer met his partner at a rock climbing gym about five years ago.
Another interview, conducted in late 2019, Sawyer says that it’s harder to be away from home “now that I have a girlfriend and I don’t want to be away from her that much.” Posters on Facebook say the girlfriend is named Abigail. And although Sawyer doesn’t post much about her, he did post a photo when both of them turned 22 in March 2021.
