    So YouTube personality Joey Graceffa came out in a very well put together music video for his original song titled "Don't Wait".

    Joey says at the end of the music video that this video meant so much to him, and that he will make an official coming out video this upcoming Tuesday. I for one am extremely proud and excited for Joey that he finally feels comfortable sharing this with his fans and the entire world.

    I don't think he said anything about coming out. Me thinks you're overreacting.

    Anderson Cooper kept his sexuality a bigger secret than Joey Graceffa. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    It's good that he feels comfortable coming out now. So, good for him. I doubt it will cause him any issues with his fans.

    I honestly had no idea Anderson Cooper was gay... Clearly my gaydar sucks

    Also I've never heard of Joey Graceffa

    This has actually been in the works for quite some time according to many people. If he isn't coming out in his next video, it'd be the most anybody had ever lead their fans on about something ever. I'm fairly certain I'm not overreacting either, as that's the theme of the music video, and it's the theme everybody is drawing from it. The guy he kissed in his music video is also apparently his boyfriend. He also has a chapter in his upcoming book to be released where he talked about his sexuality.

    The video is not a proof of anything, he has plenty of youtube videos where he baits his fans about that. And his book hasn't been released yet, no one of his viewers has read a single sentence from it.

    So, until next Tuesday or his upcoming coming out video, he is still a heterosexual man, everything else is nothing more than unfactual gossip.

    Not to stereotype, but the boy pins my gaydar. There's no way he's straight. Glad the book makes that clear, but it's pretty obvious.

    Same here. Never heard of him till now.

    There's so many famous people in this era, they don't seem as famous.

    I'm not going to lie, I thought he was gay as well when I first started watching him in 2013 but just wasn't ready to come out yet. He said he was bullied growing up because he acted somewhat feminine, and he says that it was a main reason he never wanted to come out, because it would validate the bullies. I'm glad to see he knows it isn't the case now. :slight_smile:

    Well to quote Blinkin from Robin Hood Men in Tights:
    "I heard it coming a mile away"

    I really like that he came out via free YouTube video instead of through his book. That would just be a way to get money out of people. I think people are going to want to know all the details too though.

    I'm even interested to know his story. I've watched his videos for so long. I remember the videos where he had a side swipe doo.

    Well, you're assuming he's heterosexual so it's not any different/worse than assuming he's homosexual. That said, it's so, so obvious he is gay.

    Never heard of him before, but just 1 click on any of his videos and it's transparent.

    Good for him. I'm glad he can finally accept himself and be open to everyone about it.

    According to his fangirls, he came out on the 14th chapter of his book. No idea if this is credible, but when I saw Joey,
