Joe McElderry is gay?

August 2nd, 2010 posted by admin

The latest X-Factor winner, Joe McElderry has announced recently that he is gay. I guess he has always looked a bit too pretty to be straight, but then the quote that was produced by the media in support of Joe’s coming out is a little weird:

“Every time I was asked, I gave honest answers. I wasn’t attracted to anyone anyway, male or female. It never really entered my head I was gay. I’ve had time to think about things. I wasn’t attracted to anyone anyway, male or female. It never really entered my head I was gay. But I just know. It’s how I feel. I’m so happy. It’s all been so recent to be honest. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had time to think and come to realize who I am. I have grown up a lot. I know it sounds crazy but before then, I was so busy. It hadn’t even crossed my mind.

I only told my mum last week, on a train. She was fine, great even. She’d actually asked us in the past, not because she thought I was gay but because she’s a supportive mum. She’d say, ‘I don’t care if you have a girlfriend or boyfriend’. My family have been so supportive.”

So he is 19, never been in a relationship with a girl or a boy, probably never even been on a date, but the poor guy has been pressured into thinking about whether he was gay or not by the media so much that now he thinks that he is gay. Sounds like this thought has been planted in his head instead of him working things out for himself. I won’t be surprised if Joe comes back in and announces that he is straight in a few months and then that news will be splashed all over exhibition stands. How can he know that he is gay if he is not attracted to either girls or boys? He just needs to grow up a bit more as evidently he is just a kid right now, who does not care about being in a relationship.
