Lukas Gage embraces his identity: ‘I’m pretty fucking gay’
Actor Lukas Gage has opened up about his sexuality in a candid podcast interview. Known for his queer-forward roles in projects like Companion and Overcompensating, he described himself as 'pretty fucking gay' while acknowledging a small straight or bi aspect. The conversation took place on In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele, where he also addressed past queerbaiting allegations.
Gage first gained attention for his performances in The White Lotus, Love, Victor, and You, which led to online debates about queerbaiting. His recent role as Sammy in the Amazon Prime series Overcompensating, launched on 15 May 2025, continues this trend of playing queer characters.
Gage’s comments provide a clearer picture of his personal life amid his growing career in queer-centric storytelling. His roles in Overcompensating and Companion reflect a shift toward more openly LGBTQ+ narratives. The actor’s openness about his sexuality adds another layer to ongoing conversations about representation in Hollywood.
