Big Gay Closet

There's room for all in the Big Gay Closet

Jon Knight has been out for 20 years

with 2 comments

All the girls loved Jordan. I — always different — loved Jon. He only solo’d one song, I think. That didn’t bother me though because I didn’t really like NKOTB that much anyway.

First Doogie Howser, now Jon Knight. If Roch Voisine comes out, my childhood crush trifecta of gay will be complete!

“I have never been outed by anyone but myself! I did so almost 20 years ago. I never knew that I would have to do it all over again publicly just because I reunited with NKOTB! I have lived my life very openly and have never hidden the fact that I am gay! Apparently the prerequisite to being a gay public figure is to appear on the cover of a magazine with the caption I am gay. I apologize for not doing so if this is what was expected!”

Of course, this hit the tabloids two years ago too.

  1. “I have never been outed by anyone but myself! I did so almost 20 years ago.”

    But, when he is not going with any word public, then is there always someone who says: “You can not say he is gay, because he had not said so. It is only rumor.” Worst when it is a actual Teenie-Star. You can have thousands of Girlies who will say/write: “It is not important if he is gay. I don’t care. But he is not gay!”

  2. It’s true. I think it’s really important that celebrities are open about their sexuality. But in Jon’s defense, he doesn’t seem to have a problem with it being public, he’s just surprised nobody knew :)
