, it's a snoozer of a read. What has most readers up in arms, however, is the interviewer's final question, done in a"quickfire" round of his own accord:"Top or bottom?" Troye replies politely,"To all journalists, past, present, and future: stop asking gay men if they're more"top" or"bottom.
Perhaps the questions in Troye's interview leading up to"Top or bottom?" can point us towards some answers. See, the line of questioning is telling; talk of what Instagram"thirst traps" Sivan follows, his attraction to Shawn Mendes, and his"Gayby" dog point to a surface level understanding, on the interviewer's part, of what it means to live life as a gay man.
Even if the case ended up being that a gay man conducted the interview, it's still wildly inappropriate and speaks to a more internalized sexualization of identity. That's only the beginning, too; oftentimes, the question is posed by people, queer and straight, to further propagate problematic associations with anal sex practices.
Moral of the story: ask your queer friends, coworkers, and interview subjects more thoughtful questions. I promise you'll find out something much more interesting and insightful by doing so.
