He said they explained it as: \u201cWell, when you\u2019re attracted to intelligence.\u201d And he said, \u201cThat sounds great. Of course, who wouldn\u2019t be?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd they were like basically like, \u2018OK, Mark Ronson identifies himself as sapiosexual, that\u2019s great,&#8217;\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd then they proceeded to ask me about Miley Cyrus\u2019 dating life and something else I probably wasn\u2019t that informed to talk about, either, and then that was it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the show, Ronson said he went back to his hotel and saw that his remarks were making headlines. \u201cIt sounds like I went on a TV show to be like, \u2018Guys, I have some big news!\u2019 And the fact that I would go on and sort of declare myself \u2014 like as a heterosexual white male \u2014 part of any marginalized community was&nbsp; terrifying to me, or just embarrassing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ronson says, at first, that he wasn\u2019t that worried about what he said; he thought that perhaps his comments would be put in context and viewers would understand. \u201cBut that\u2019s not what happens on Twitter anymore,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/mark-ronson-sapiosexual-apology-890745\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Ronson opened up about his coming out as sapiosexual during a recent interview with ITV\u2019s Good Morning Britain.
