I am gay, and I am very comfortable with it. I have been for a long time. I think it’s funny that people are like, “He’s been hiding it”. I’ve always been out. I avoided talking about [my sexuality] on Idol, but I never lied about it and I never denied it, because that would go against my principles. I chose to keep my private life a little more private while I was on this show. And that’s a choice. I reserve the right to talk about my own sexuality. I wasn’t ready to address everything that I’d ever done and reveal the most intimate details of my personality [on the show] because I was just getting used to being a figure of the public eye. I feel like, “Okay, now people see me as an entertainer, so now I’m willing to let them in a little bit more on my personal life”. It feels really good now to just state the fact and just move forward, [so that people don't] keep wondering about, “What does he do?” you know, “With whom?”
