cant believe how much this guy has changed, he was practically homophobic and now living his best queer life
No seriously. Last time I talked with him personally he was opening about his distaste for specific things about gay culture. It’s insane to see him now participate in those things he talked about.

What were some of the things he mentioned? Pardon my nosiness. :eyes: :joy:
 
Has he ever addressed losing his virginity in any way? As a Mormon he was supposed to remain a virgin until marriage right? So he must have lost it quite late.
 
I almost canceled my subscription to his IG since I can't screenshot stuff like this anymore, and can get it much easier here for free. But I do really enjoy the life updates he posts there that he doesn't post on his main feed, he seems much more relaxed posting to just his subscribers. The first time I heard him say "shit" I was genuinely shocked.
 
He's as obnoxious as that one politician that went forever saying they weren't gay only to admit they were -- The world knew he was gay since he was American Idol, he did too, but he denied so much even after being an adult without a record deal--- I think giving him any hype is a joke on those proud to be gay.

Imagine giving no grace to a young man trapped in a repressive religion for 30 years.

This is definitely not the take you think it is, and his fan thread is really not the right place.

First, religious brainwashing and trauma is definitely something to be given consideration, and he was never ever antigay or passing any laws against us. He never even spoke ill against anyone. Equating him to someone that has is ridiculous.

Second, whether we suspected or not, whether he's dealing with religious trauma or just self-worth issues, those are caused by our society and putting all of the blame on anyone that needs, wants, or chooses to stay closeted is audacious.

Finally, he was in the public eye and forced to listen to people call him gay when he was very young. When most of us were also dealing with it but had the luxury of our small world. He chose to stay celebate and honor his faith until he was able to move past it and honor himself. The bravery, courage, and strength it took him and thousands of people like him to do what he did is admirable. I am atheist, but even I understand how unbelievably difficult it is to wrestle against lifelong faith and beliefs.

Believe what you will, but I don't think anyone else in this thread will agree.
