Caleb Shomoが自身のInstagramを通じ、長年の葛藤の末にゲイであることを誇りを持って公表した。約14年間連れ添った妻のFleur Shomoも、二人の離婚について心情を吐露する投稿を行った。5月23日のこの発表は、メタルコア界に大きな反響を呼んでいる。
33歳のCalebは、憶測に対処せざるを得ないと感じたと綴り、「私は誇り高いゲイの男性です」と語った。彼は10年間にわたりアルコールで感情を抑え込んできたこと、そして断酒が自身のセクシュアリティと向き合う助けになったことを明かした。また、Beartoothのボーカリストである彼は、制作中のアルバム『Pure Ecstasy』を通じて、これまで以上に自分自身を表現できるだろうとも示唆している。
X上では、Shomoの発表に対する支持や個人の受け入れ体験談が投稿される一方で、結婚生活の後というタイミングへの批判や、メタルコアというジャンルにおける動機や関連性に対する懐疑的な意見も見られた。

Who the fuck is Beartooth? This looks more like a pathetic attempt to get some downloads for being a “brave gay man” as if being a gay musician is an earth-shattering revelation. Caleb is way down the list of relevant gay singers. He has to catch up to Sam.
