Jason Mayez's journey out of the closet has been one of challenge and self-discovery. His divorce from his ex-wife, Christina Carano, forced him to confront his sexuality and learn to accept himself as a bisexual man. Mayez admits that the experience was filled with emotional lows, but it was also an important step on his journey to self-acceptance.

"I had to simulate a lot of other scenarios before I got here." It was very difficult," Mayez said of his divorce and coming out process.

Mayez, who publicly admitted to being bisexual for the first time in 2018, said it was Carano who helped him understand and accept his gender identity. "She called it "double spirit," which is Native American for someone who can love both a man and a woman." Mayez recalled in an interview.

In addition to talking about his personal life, Mayez also shared his thoughts on the music industry, specifically his appreciation for Taylor Swift as an ally to the LGBTQ community. He recalled working with Swift on her Speak Now World Tour in 2011 and praised her for using music as a tool for inclusion and acceptance.

"It's beautiful," Mayez said of Swift's alliance. "If you want your music to be popular, you want it to be heard by everybody. So you represent everybody's ears, and you should embrace everybody's ears."

Jason Maez's story is one of courage, self-discovery and reconciliation. Not only has he left his mark on music, but he has also demonstrated his versatility in his personal growth and contributions to society. Through his experiences, Mayez reminds us how important it is to accept who we really are and use our voices to speak out for love.
