Rumors about Noel being gay started after he landed a gay role in Shameless
Despite being married, Noel often has his sexuality questioned in interviews and by social media users. The rumor persists because Noel plays a gay role in Shameless. His response to the speculation is that people should stop trying to fit others into a box. He said:
“I think it’s weird how we, as a society, try to put the LGBT community in a box, when in fact, they are just people. They have the same complexities as you and me. That’s how I look at Mickey, as a complex person.”
Mickey and Ian Gallagher (played by Cameron Monaghan) have one of the most complicated gay relationships on television. In an interview with BuzzFeed, Noel described the relationship as follows: “And then we just continued that for the rest of the show: Fight, fuck, fight, fuck, fight, fuck.”
