Troye Sivan claps back after being asked if he is 'a top or bottom'
Singer Troye Sivan has lashed out after being asked in an interview if he was a “top or bottom”, telling fans on Twitter that it was a wildly invasive question.
A New Zealand reporter posed the question to the SA-Australian musician for Express, a proudly LGBTQ New Zealand publication.
Posting a copy of the article on his Twitter page, Troye said he considered asking the reporter about his sexual preferences, but declined because it was “inappropriate”.
I thought about asking the interviewer about his absolute fave sex position after that last question, but then i remembered how wildly invasive, strange and innapropriate that would be. Didn’t stop him though! https://t.co/mo80DziQrH

His post had received more than 72,000 likes at the time of publishing this article, with many expressing shock at the incident.
Troye said “next time I'll do a q&a”.
It's so disgusting how people think that it's okay to ask these sexual questions to a gay person because they only see homosexuality sex and nothing more. I'm so sorry that this happened Troye.

Well if I interviewed you for my small publication the questions would at the very least be music related and appropriate... just saying :)
