Coming out dziecięcej, viralowej gwiazdy

Zaczęło się siedem lat temu podczas szkolnego konkursu wokalnego. Wtedy Greyson zaśpiewał "Paparazzi" Lady Gagi. Wideo zrobiło niesamowitą furorę w Internecie. 



Jego kariera potoczyła się szybko. Najpierw Ellen i kontrakt płytowy:

A teraz publiczny coming out. 19-latek napisał: "Wiedziałem, że jestem gejem w wieku 16 lat. Nie chciałem o tym mówić publicznie" - napisał Greyson. 

The decision to write this came after I received a message from a brave individual. Such message inspired me to shed light on an aspect of my private life which I have kept distant from my career in music. I came to fully recognize that I was gay when I was sixteen. I decided not to publicize my sexuality largely due to a matter of privacy, as I was still trying to find comfort and confidence within my own skin. Further, I always found conversations regarding music, politics, art, books – and the greatness of Nas’ catalog – to be far more interesting than what type of guy I was into. This is still true today. While this message is most definitely overdue, I encourage anyone who is navigating their sexuality to devote as much time as they need to the process of finding self-confidence, self-acceptance, and self-love. Hell, for me, it took years to write this message. Nevertheless, I figured now was the time to let a few more friends know that I am happy, I am here for you, and I am proud of who I am. Cheers -G
