LOS ANGELES -- Huffpost Gay Voices' reporter, Nicholas Kusnir was lucky enough to have the chance to quickly interview "America's Next Top Model" contestant Nyle DiMarco at the DeaFestival LA Fashion Show, 2015, where he discussed the benefits of growing up Deaf, being an icon within the gay community, and even opens up about being Sexually Fluid himself.

'ANTM' contestant Nyle DiMarco came out as sexually fluid to his Twitter followers last week. The 26-year-old heartthrob, who is the first Deaf contestant on the show, made the revelation in response to a Sept. 24 question from a fan who asked if he was gay or straight.

DiMarco, who is a native of Queens, New York, included a link to an Everyday Feminism article about identifying as sexually fluid. The article notes that people who are sexually fluid are "either always attracted to more than one gender," or "feel that their attraction may shift depending on factors like time, intimacy with certain partners, changes in hormone levels, and so forth."
Needless to say, several of DiMarco's male fans responded excitedly to his tweet.
