He also objects the 2021 national census that might ask the particular questions towards the people whether they are gay or transgender. The Bristol native claims he might end up 'breaking the law' when the 2021 census form arrives towards his doorways. In his May 2016 article on Daily Mail, Andrew explains:

I have no intention of answering the questions dreamed up by politically correct busy-bodies at the Office for National Statistics on behalf of Downing Street, even though failure to do so could lead to a criminal record and a fine of up to £1,000. This unusual reticence on my part has nothing to do with any dark secrets lurking in the closet. Quite the contrary.

At the age of 22, the British journalist came out as gay to his friends and family. He has been in civil partnership since 2014 and has time and again said that he is not "ashamed of being gay." He has believed that his "sexuality is none of State's Business."

In his opinion, the delivery services of his state should not be based on sexuality and whether or not he has a boyfriend or girlfriend. As per Andrew's article, his partner preference is not an issue for him 'as long as the state delivers its services.'

Besides the controversial statements regarding his sexuality, he is famous for slamming British journalist Kevin Maguire for ‘clutching at straws’ over pro-Labour comments in the ITV's Good Morning Britain in May 2018.
