Gay man married to a straight woman explains he’s not bi, and people are still confused: ‘I’m only attracted to men’

Wait 5 sec.

“Love is love,” proclaim a TikTok couple, who have gone viral due to their unusual pairing but ask people to keep an open mind about their relationship and the many shapes a marriage can take. Samantha Wynn Greenstone is straight. Her husband Jacob Hoff is gay. They’re in a monogamous marriage. A question has been dogging their union since it went viral, and it basically goes: if a gay man marries a woman, isn’t he really bisexual? Their answer hasn’t budged. In the new video posted on their TikTok, Greenstone says that even though they’ve addressed this before, they’re going to go through it again for their new followers. @samanthawynngreenstone @Jacob Hoff explains his brain once again #mixedorientationmarriage #lavendermarriage ♬ original sound – Samantha Wynn Greenstone “Bisexual means that you are sexually attracted to both sexes, male and female,” Hoff said in the video. “I am only attracted to men.” His marriage, he argued, changes nothing about the “fact that Samantha is my partner, is my wife, transcends that and has nothing to do with my sexuality. She is my person, my soulmate in this life… I’m still gay as day, honey.” The couple also tried to shut down another complaint — that calling Hoff gay erases bisexual people. It doesn’t, they said. “You can exist as a bisexual, and you can also exist as a gay man whose love transcends, because love is love.” Some comments seemed to follow the logic, while others were still a tad confused. “So basically, homosexual and Samantharomantic,” one user helpfully wrote. “So, you don’t have sex? Does he get to cheat? Is the relationship open?” “Having a kid with a gay dad has gotta be like winning the lottery,” another comment read. “I’m more confused than I was before this video started,” one user said. Some users asked if this is just a “lavender marriage,” but the couple reject that term. Greenstone had another message for the skeptics Hoff’s wife had a message for the doubters in the comments section. “Jacob knows his lived experience more than you all know his lived experience, and he’s picking the label that best reflects the experience,” she said. “You don’t get to come on here and force people to identify how you want them to identify.” The talking points are familiar territory for the pair, who have rejected the idea that theirs is a “lavender marriage” (via Business Insider) — a phrase historically attached to unions meant to keep one partner’s sexuality hidden. In another video and described their relationship as monogamous. Greenstone and Hoff had a son in November 2025 (per People) so the family has recently grown. The birth apparently landed just in time for their first wedding anniversary.
