Similar to many people of his generation, Bad Bunny is not into labels. Translation: The rapper is open to all possibilities as they concern his sexuality. Given his flamboyant image and use of same-sex couples and transgender women in his music videos, many were beginning to wonder about the rapper's sexual orientation. His answer: Who cares? "It does not define me," he told the Los Angeles Times in February of 2020. "At the end of the day, I don't know if in 20 years I will like a man. One never knows in life. But at the moment I am heterosexual and I like women."
Along with becoming a queer icon of sorts, Bad Bunny has also been vocal in his support for the trans community. During a performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in 2020, the rapper protested the death of a trans woman, Neulisa Luciano Ruiz, also known as Alexa, who was killed in Puerto Rico in an alleged hate crime. While performing his song "Ignorantes," Bad Bunny wore a shirt that said, "They killed Alexa, not a man in a skirt," in Spanish," (per NME).
Bad Bunny is known for being vocal about the rights of trans people in his native Puerto Rico and beyond.
