Why would you kill half your marketability like that? He's not exactly a star yet, just 15 secs of fame. Way to lose all your straight teeny bopper female fans. /slap

Why would he lose all of them as fans?

Teeny boppers buy music from "hearthrobs". Announcing you don't like girls takes your "hearthrob" status away.

Edit: Look at NSYNC's Lance Bass. Why do you think he waited til they were finished til he came out?

The fact that you think you're a good source on boy bands and coming out worries me. There are some things you just shouldn't be a know-it-all in... even on ATOT.

America is as ready for a gay Idol as much as they are ready for a Black president. It just won't happen.

well, thats your problem! you should've tried 4 hours "gay".

lulz.

With about 36 million people casting a vote for that silly shit out of a population of 300 million at best it represents what the celebrity obsessed portion of America wants for an "idol".

He might lose some of them, but I'll bet a lot of them don't care. Teeny boppers are great at rationalizing.

Holy shit. I would have never guessed. I mean if it talks like a duck, and walks like a duck...it naturally must be a lion.

Agreed, and I think this warrants a "Coming Out Expert" in my title. Mods, where are you guys, I've earned this and everyone in this thread agrees.
