Armstrong also spoke about Green Day’s newest bisexual anthem, “Bobby Sox,” from their recent album release Saviors.

this should be something that's just accepted. "It's like people are afraid of their children.

“Sexuality is always so much more than what the standard, nuclear-family type of way of looking at things,” Armstrong continued. Despite lingering perceptions of taboo, he asserts that today's individuals demonstrate unprecedented courage.

If someone contends otherwise, he doesn't believe they're being truly honest with themselves.

The latest track from Green Day, titled Bobby Sox, showcased during a Thursday night performance at a SiriusXM concert at Irving Plaza in New York City, originally drew inspiration from Billie Joe Armstrong's evenings spent watching The Office on the couch with his wife.

“You’re like, ‘Wow, we’ve really come a long way.’ Even though it’s still kind of looked at as being taboo, I think people now are a lot more brave than they’ve ever been. I think people are way more open now.”

Billie Joe Armstrong On Bisexuality, His Marriage, and Being Open with Yourself

Billie Joe Armstrong has openly spoken against homophobia, transphobia, and discrimination aimed at the LGBTQ community.

He has used his platform with Green Day to call out bigotry, both in discourse and in song.

"And when it comes to s--, there are parts of me that are very shy and conservative. I don't really classify myself as anything," he went on. At some point... But I just look at sexuality: It’s not one way or the other. He went on to mention his decades-long marriage. “But I have been married — there’s this other side of me that’s very conventional when it comes to my 30-year marriage to my wife.

Per the musician, he finds it cool to hear people refer to him that way.

Billie Joe Armstrong Is Happy To Become a Bisexual Icon

Armstrong said he is happy to become an icon before noting how things have changed after three decades.

"Being a Gen X-er, I feel like there was a seed that got planted where it was the era in the '90s that we came up, where men were discovering more of being with other men and being more bisexual, and coming out with that, whether it was someone like Kurt Cobain or what I was saying," he said.

He added that sexuality is way more complex now, but people have become braver and more open than ever, as well.

Despite coming out, Armstrong is also a proud husband and father to two sons, Jakob and Joey.

However, the song has transformed into somewhat of a queer anthem.

Saviors released on January 19, 2024 and has got an overwhelmingly positive reception, earning praise from both critics and fans alike.
