Dude thats too kewl!  So am I!  Welcome!

Last years winner of Britan’s X-factor , 19 year old Joe McElderry has come out of the closet publ;ically just weeks after brteaking the news to his mother.

Via the UK Mirror:

.Joe has always denied rumours he was gay, but insisted the reason was he didn’t know himself until recently. He added: ‘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.’ … But the 19-year-old has now bravely decided to tell the world he is gay – and the denials were down to the fact he never knew himself, until three weeks ago. And he said he is comfortable with his decision to come out publicly, declaring: ‘I’m happy. I now know who I am.’
