Hunter Biden Jokes He's '48.6% Gay' in Viral Podcast Bit with Luke Beasley

Former first son Hunter Biden appeared on the August 16 episode of The Luke Beasley Show, where he engaged in a humorous exchange about his sexuality with the openly gay progressive commentator. When Beasley declared, 'Let's get serious. I am gay,' Biden responded with mock surprise before admitting, 'Only a little bit' when asked if he was gay. Pressed on whether it was more or less than 50 percent, Biden replied '48.6,' later revising the figure playfully to 47 or 48.5 percent as the conversation continued. He added that if gay, his type would be 'a little bit more masculine.' The segment, which included an AI-generated image of the two embracing, has been widely covered as a lighthearted moment during Biden's media appearances. Biden, who is married to Melissa Cohen Biden and has multiple children from prior relationships, has faced extensive public scrutiny over his personal life, including past relationships and legal matters unrelated to sexuality. The exchange aligns with Biden's recent comments on closeted politicians in Washington. Multiple outlets including PinkNews, The Advocate, TMZ, InStyle, and Attitude reported on the interview and its viral spread, confirming the quotes and context from the nearly 80-90 minute episode.
