Guest EXPAT Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 British The X Factor Union J member Jaymi Hensley has come out as gay on the advice of mentor Louis Walsh. “I spoke to Louis about this and he said, ‘put it this way, both of my big boybands had a gay member in them.’ So he said it fits the formula quite well! Every boyband has got to have a gay one! And Louis just said ‘do it’.” For the record, he's taken, with a boyfriend of three years. He's the one on the far right in the video still below: And they are all so friendly with each other anyway: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hitoallusa Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Oh my MsGuy... Why do you think so? Like a good southern gentleman lets give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise... I wish I were young... Hmmm...what if he's just another straight kid recruited to fill the roll of gay guy for the band? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Suckrates Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 My Dear, they ALL look a bit Fey..... does anyone even care about this anymore? Seems like Louis does, apparently he has a "sweet tooth" ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lookin Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 ..... does anyone even care about this anymore? Really good question. And what if someone decides he's bisexual? Is that enough to warrant an announcement? It would be fun if all twenty thirty forty umpty-ump million decided to come out on the same day.

Members Lucky Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 Remember when Stephen Gately of Boyzone came out in 1999? It was huge news then and finished the band. I used to like hearing his nasal singing on their tunes, Some time after the band broke up, I had occasion to see him live, playing Joseph in the show Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I had a great seat, so got a real good look, only to be a bit disappointed. How anyone could have missed that he was gay mystified me, as my gaydar was quite abuzz.. But the girls in the audience didn't care- they hooted and hollered. Gately died at the age of 33 from a pulmonary edema. My favorite song: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EXPAT Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I saw Stephen Gately in a musical in the West End before he died. He was very talented and very cute. It's a tragic loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Suckrates Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 Come out,....stay in.... Its your life, your choice, none of us should care. Why cant WE all just focus on ourselves ? (thats a question that probably Carie Bradshaw would ask on Sex and the City).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EXPAT Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Union J are so cute. Here they are this week on X Factor UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EXPAT Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 The Boys - Union J didn't make it through. So they ended up in 4th place and just missed the finals. I think though they will have the best career of the remaining male singers. None of those singers will be global sensations like this boy band could be. Too bad on the UK voters.

Guest EXPAT Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Union J was signed by Sony. I guess there is life after coming in 4th place on X Factor UK. http://uk.omg.yahoo.com/gossip/110--pop/union-j-celebrate-sony-record-deal-with-a-christmas-jumper-party-150800117.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
