The stunning black and white cover shows Hugh and fiancé Kurt Roberts in a close embrace but it was the caption that got everyone’s attention as the actor revealed they no longer accept “labels”.
“Given that’s it IS #pridemonth & I am beyond honoured to share the most coveted DNA cover of 2021 with the greatest lover/HUMAN of all time… I understand why @dnamagazine chose LOVE over… another pic of a guy with a towel 🥱,” the 35-year-old began.
They then quickly went on to add: “And FYI; I AM still a human (non binary/bi/me/Hughman) but I’m in a monogamous relationship with another human, who I love.
“I don’t accept a label cause it limits me… if you want it; take it. I chose zero labels for no other reason except the exclusion, limitations, separation, I believe are all one, deeeeep down. &…who knows? Why chose?!!
“Be you. Be true. Be free: to BE, to JUST BE… you, a human, same as me. READ THE ARTICLE, you’ll laugh. I did.”
We couldn’t be happier for Hugh who just eight months ago penned an emotional essay for Stellar opening up about their sexuality for the first time.
“I believe labels are for clothes, not for people,” they said.
“I’ve never felt I really knew who I was and I didn’t like the sounds of the labels that people were giving me so I decided to say nothing.”
“Lockdown gave me time to reflect and it occurred to me that no-one ever sticks up for people who don’t pick a label.”
Hugh explained that as they get to know someone romantically, they’re “not interested in their age, gender, sexuality, or religion.”
“I’m interested in connecting on a human level. Sexuality has always been very secondary to me. In a way, I now feel very blessed.”
