Everyone always says, 'When you look at a boy band, one of them has to be gay.' No, they don't.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I went to a boys' school, and I didn't realize that most guys join bands because they wanted to get girls. I was not really focused on that the way everybody else was.
My fellow band members don't discuss their loved ones, and I don't feel that just because I am gay, I should have to discuss mine!
I think the whole thing, boy band, it's a little bit of a dirty word. They say it's not a good thing to be in a boy band. We want to change that. We want to make the boy band cool. It's not just about dancing and dressing the same.
I'm over dudes trying to look like they're in boy bands.
I always wanted to be in a boy band since I was a kid.
If 'gay' is not in your vocabulary, if being gay is not an option in your world, then you're far more likely to see your kid as anything but gay.
Boys in bands are more difficult to deal with than one-year-old babies. I've been one of them, and I am one of them, but it is the truth.
I say, 'I'm bi, my love knows no gender,' and the straight community says, 'Oh right, that's just a cover-up - you're gay!' And the gay community says, 'Yeah right, that's just a cover-up - you're gay.' They both want to push me gay.
If you join the Boy Scouts without understanding the underlying agendas and biases of the organization, you might grow up to believe that being gay is a bad thing.
Even when the band got back together in 2008, New Kids fans knew I was gay. Everyone did.
