Gilman was afraid of the fact that his identity may affect his singing career. He addressed,
"It's difficult for me to make this video, not because I'm ashamed of being a gay male artist or a gay artist or a gay person."
"But it's pretty silly to know that I'm ashamed of doing this knowing that because I'm in a genre and industry that is ashamed of me for being me."
"I love the industry but many know being a gay male country artist is not the best thing. So I thank you for your support."
He also described his partner and told how he fell in love with him. He said,
"I was in my twenties before I really started to soul-search and get to know more about me."
"Then when I met my boyfriend Chris [Meyer] I thought, ‘This is it,’ and that’s when I really got that love is love ... I have a fantastic family. My parents never missed a beat."
"When I met my boyfriend, I fell into such a wonderful extended family, they all just let us be us."
They are reportedly been together for 3 years. They have not been married yet but could be thinking about it. Besides, neither Billy nor his partner has made the move to pop the question.
