Personally, even though I'm surprised that he is indeed gay, I still support him, and when he makes his next English album, I will still get it; I like him both for who he is and for his music, no matter what his sexual orientation is.
What I would like to know is, why or how exactly did all these gay rumors persist in the first place? What was it about him that started all the speculation, even when he was flirting with girls?
