Default Joe McElderry comes out as Gay.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/...ut-as-gay.html

From DS:

Joe McElderry has come out of the closet as a gay man.

After having his Twitter account hacked earlier this month, rumours about the X Factor winner's sexuality circulated online, which the 19-year-old addressed on his official website on Friday.

"Tomorrow there will be some articles about me in the newspapers because I have been doing some important interviews today. I wanted you to know that the articles are true. I also wanted you to know that I really respect your loyal support and all the kind messages I have had from you up to this date," he wrote.

"I have always been a very honest person and so it is important for me to continue to be honest. It has been the most amazing year so far and I feel so privileged. It’s also been a time of real self-realisation and I feel as if I have grown up so much in these few months.

"There has been speculation about my sexuality in the past and I have always been honest at the time I have been asked. Over the past few weeks I have really had time to reflect and to realise who I am. I spoke to my friends and family about this in the last few days and it was important to do the same for you all as you have been so supportive."

He continued: "I have had nothing but support from you and many of you have been very open in saying that you will continue to support me whatever my sexuality. It is important to me to let you know first, so that you know the stories in the papers are true. I made the choice to speak openly about this.

"Again, I can’t thank you enough for all your support. Everything is going well and I’m really happy to be able to move forward from here."


I KNEW IT!
I could so tell when he was on X Factor.

This makes me a very happy man

No real shock though is it?

He sort of gave the game away last year in the sun when he stated he was straight but didnt fancy Cheryl Cole.

I think this might actually help his career.

Its amusing to note he came out before his debut album has.

He said in one of the articles in the Sun that it was when someone hacked into his twitter account and outed him, he realised he was gay. Strange that, surely sucking on someone's dick was a big clue?

I dont think he really gay I think he just uses as way to get his album popular how many times have male stars came out gay loads of its way to get them to alist If Joe Mcelderry is gay then Pigs are flying right now I think if he saw a fit girl walked past his out he would'nt take his eyes of her I dont believe he has come out as a gay

Umm he hasn't shagged anyone before. He just assumed he was straight and then realised when the hacker thing'd.

Yeah, don't see what that has to do with anything.

He said he realised he was gay.
You said surely sucking on cock was a clue.
I said he hasn't sucked anyone off when he's only just realised.

I respect him for coming out before his debut, some will be cynical and say its to boost album sales but this isn't strictly true, I know it targets the gay market but imagine the percentage of female fans he will lose because of his sexuality.

At least he didn't fool women across the country for decades while he was releasing albums then come out when he realized his career was out of steam like Ricky Martin and Duncan James. Joe is much younger too which takes a lot more guts to come out, especially that publicly.

Good on you Joe!
