I agree, why should you tear him apart for who he is?
Would you critize someone about their eye colour? No you wouldn’t, so why critize him for his sexuality?
You make yourselves seem like scumbagd who have nothing better to do than to bring him down. When he is richer and probably smarter than all of you put together. Evaluate your own lives before you start to evaluate his.
Personally i wish him the best of luck

The only redeeming factor in this story is the the confirmation that Gaydar exists and is still working well.

Leave the kid alone to get on with his life and stop slagging him off for this or that he supposedly said. He said what he was told to say by the PR people As for all you Einsteins slagging off his or indeed Eltons intelligence, look in your Dole bought mirror and ask what have you done to prove your intelligence or life lately…..exactly…..Eltons a billionaire and Philantropist and Joe is headed there.

“I’.m straight”, Twitter hack, coming out – it’s all just news management on behalf of the record company. We can all see through it and we all knew he was gay from the start – so what.

I like Joe, I voted for him to win and I’m looking forward to his album. It may not be any good but he can sing and he is a good looking boy.

@Leo – 85,000 x masturbation for a 19 year old? I know adolescents are often compulsive onanists, but 25-35 times a day?

hehe, nobody was talking about him one week ago, and look now. I don’t care what he is, his music is sh1t anyway…

Ah bless. He sounds sweet.

He’s only 19 or something, isn’t he?

And he only came out to his Mum a couple of days before coming out to the newspapers.

I don’t think Cowell forced Joe to stay closeted. I reckon Joe was in the closet in most areas of his life.

Best of luck to him. I hope he is successful.

I’ve never heard a thing by him though. I prefer Rage Against The Machine.

Tax the cults. It’s getting harder and harder to hide and there are fewer and fewer reasons to do so.

And actually, this incident is not sad, it’s comical.

Come on guys, give the bloke a chance; Lots of us when ‘coming out’ try to justify our ‘making sense’ period by what sounds OK at the time! Fortunately most of us aren’t quite as much in the public eye as Joe is currently and have time to develop coping strategies… Well done Joe and good luck for your future.

what a load of twaddle! Joe’s the only one who knows his fantasies etc and he’s the one who should know himself best

Jeremy: What a shame this young lad has been cornered and bullied into labelling himself. I hope someone is keeping an eye on his mental health.

Joe: “It is a liberating feeling. Now I can get on with the rest of my life and move on and be comfortable.”

Least surprising outing since Liberache. I’m glad he’s gay, it just proved my Gaydar is in perfect working order!

“I think the Twitter thing was the point when I realised I was gay.” I call bullsh@t! How can people be taken seriously when they say tripe like this? What exactly was he fantasizing about for the 85,000 times he masturbated prior to “realising” he is gay? Hello?

On the one hand, it shows how monstrous people can be to one another. Seriously, hacking into a twitter account to pose as him with his personal struggles to out him like that is beyond childish. On the other, it shows how strong some people can be with this aggressive human behavior. I wish him the best.

Whilst this incident has been rather fortunate for this individual, nobody should be forced out as gay/straight/bi or whatever. It should be up to the person concerned as being ‘outed’ in other situations could threaten people’s livelihoods or even their safety. So these hackster/prankster or whatever you want to call them are just nasty. The right to be gay in a free society also includes to right to come out exactly when you want to.

good for him for realising and why all the cynicism?

John – yep, there is clearly not much happening upstairs in that guy’s head. If only we could get some famous intelligent people coming out as gay!

The guy speaks a little too much as well. When he finally does lose his virginity no doubt it will be headline news. That should be a thrilling read.
