I know you just wouldn't think it would you, he seemed to be a proper mans man and everything and now this. ;S

Nah he is smart, good on him. As mentioned already in the thread he has been able to use it as a publicity stunt which has worked well. He has talent, I think he'll do really well.

I'm glad that he has come out. No point hiding it.

He didn't really do a good job of hiding it.

I saw this yesterday on the front page of The Sun when my mum went to get some petrol, my mouth dropped open when i saw it but then I thought to myself "Wait, am I reallly that surprised?". He always did have that sort of feel.

Cute of him to write that message, bless.

It's good for him to come out, he shouldn't be ashamed of it.
And I really didn't think he was gay when he was on Xfactor.
Some of you make me laugh, this thread is about Joe Mcelderry and you bring Justin Bieber into it?!

I didn't actually think he acted all that gay on X Factor.

It's good for him to come out though and I was surprised when I saw the article. He's clever to get back in the public's eye after being forgotten about for a few months.

Goodluck to him and he's a good-looking lad, now lets hope he gets on with his life instead of making his sexuality the focus of his life - like many militant gays do and which winds a heck of a lot of people up.

Not all 'gay' people act 'gay'. I am sure that he will do just fine. Whatever happens it will be better than before Xfactor. I am sure he has a singing career. I can see him going to the West End.
