Does Sombr Identify as Gay? inside his LGBTQ support and fanbase

Who is Sombr?

Sombr is a rising Gen Z musician whose mix of emotional storytelling and catchy pop hooks has quickly made him one of the standout new voices in music. His debut album, I Barely Know Her, has earned him both mainstream attention and deep appreciation from queer listeners, many of whom have connected to his openness and affirming message.

Does Sombr’s Support LGBTQ?

Yes, Sombr very openly supports the LGBTQ community. Well, his debut album, “I Barely Know Her,” was described as a “queer-affirming album”, by EDGE Media Network, which praised the project for its celebration of identity and self-expression.

Beyond his music, Sombr has actively shown love, individually, to his queer fans. For instance: in a May 2025 after-concert meet up with fans, he was seen interacting with lesbian fans, one of whom asked him to sign her lesbian flag, which he happily did.

These gestures, as little as they may seem, have further cemented his image as an artist who doesn’t just speak about inclusivity but lives it. Yes, he, in fact, is an ally.

“Sombrlesbians” and “Gays for Sombr”

The term “Sombrlesbians” refers to a group of lesbian fans who created a fan account dedicated to celebrating Sombr’s music and his consistent allyship. Similarly, “Gays for Sombr” is a fan community made up of gay supporters who relate deeply to his artistry and message.

Both fan bases, all part of the LGBTQ community, reflect how his care for the community has built a bridge between his music and LGBTQ audiences.

Larray’s Viral Interview Moment

In what might call “Sombr’s one more very public support of the LGBTQ community”: In August 2025, openly gay YouTube creator Larray invited Sombr to his Ride or Die interview series. During their chat, Larray jokingly asked Sombr: “Do you love gay people?”
Sombr replied instantly: “Oh yeah, I love gay people.”

When Larray playfully said, “Prove it. Cash App me $10,000 right now,” Sombr actually went along with it; replying, “What’s your Cash App? I just did it right now.”

And yeah, he did send Larray that 10k thousand to prove that he supports gay people. Larray gasped and declared, “He’s an ally!”

The clip quickly went viral, further fueling online conversations about Sombr’s personality and his easy, humorous way of engaging with the LGBTQ community.

So, Is Sombr Gay?

As of now, Sombr hasn’t publicly identified his sexuality as being gay or bisexual. While he’s been vocal in supporting LGBTQ rights and fans, he hasn’t labeled himself. However, it’s known that he once dated a girl named Caroline, who inspired his breakout single “Caroline.” This, very effectively, means he is straight.

On TikTok, he’s confirmed this connection multiple times, even joking about the said ex-girlfriend in TikToks like:

“Tell me why my ex is doing a couple’s dance trend with her new boyfriend to my song.”

Now… whether or not Sombr identifies as gay, one thing’s clear; he’s earned real respect from LGBTQ fans through consistent allyship, music that resonates, and an energy that feels inclusive. For now, one would argue that that’s the best he can do and not make personal statements about his own preferences.
