In his response to THR‘s recent cover story on Cohen, Mayer called Co-Editor in Chief Maer Roshan‘s question about dating rumors “deeply flawed.”
“I think that to suggest that people are dubious of a friendship like mine and Andy’s is to undermine the public’s ability to accept and understand diversity in all facets of culture, be it in art or in real life,” the Grammy winner wrote. “I’d like to think they’re sophisticated enough to see a relationship like ours without assuming it must include a sexual component. That turns the concept of being gay into an ignorantly two-dimensional one, which I know you know it’s not. I don’t question that at all.”
In the interview, Cohen defended his platonic love for Mayer.
“I honestly love John Mayer, and he loves me,” he told the outlet. “But because we’re so affectionate toward each other, people don’t know what box to put that in. They assume we’re sleeping with each other, which we are most definitely not.”
