Faker Nathan Hudson is Gay

Published Jan 29, 2008

Lead singer of band Faker Nathan Hudson told the Sunday Magazine he is gay and that he hopes his admission will make young gay teens feel comfortable with their sexuality.

“My association with being gay was that it was bad and dark and not good for you. I had trouble finding people to look up to,” he said.

“I’m happy to talk about being gay for that kid in the suburbs who’s 15 and scared.”

It’s refreshing to hear someone speak so openly and candidly, especially from the macho world of alternative rock. I hope Nathan’s right and his words can inspire young people struggling with their own sexuality.

Actually, admiting the fact bravely and honestly makes you special, just as Tila Tequila does. On the contrary, many bisexual i knew at bisexual club http://www.bimingle.com ever love her better because of this. It is not only because they are like-minded person. But to show worship for the courage and honesty. And I will also support Faker Nathan Hudson.

Thank You Nathan for your courage! One more person taking a stand so that LGBT youth will know that they are not alone and they aren't so 'different'.

Wow! Kind of depressed me haha but that's amazing that he came out in order to inspire other people afraid like he was! Nathan, you are amazing and your 'coming out' will surely be taken to heart for LGBT youth. Good job!
