After last week’s uproar over GQ Australia sorta asking Taylor Lautner if he was gay (by way of sorta asking if he was on a date earlier this summer with Dustin Lance Black and Gus Van Sant), GQ has now issued a statement. Read for yourself after the jump.

To be fair, Lautner himself seemed fine about the question, but Dustin Lance Black lashed out at the publication last week. Now, GQ Australia has taken to its Facebook page with a little explanation:

Hi guys,

We’ve seen some of the comments floating around regarding our recent interview with Taylor Lautner and apologise if anyone was offended by anything in the article. It certainly wasn’t our intention to paint anyone in the story as a sexual predator. The point we were actually trying to push was that Taylor is irresistible to virtually everyone – regardless of sexuality or gender. Hence the film crew cheering at his shirtless scenes while shooting Twilight, and Mark Wahlberg deeming him better looking than Leonardo Di Caprio.

Taylor is an extraordinary young gentleman, and we can’t wait to see him achieve even greater success in the future. That’s why he’s on our cover – because GQ Australia prides itself on offering readers the best possible advice and insights that help you be modern, successful gentlemen. Whether you’re into fashion, food, fitness, pop culture, politics, travel, technology or cars GQ Australia strives to provide you with top-quality editorial content that allows you to make your own discerning choices.

 Is all forgiven for you, Instincters?
