In the latest issue of UK magazine Gay Times, Scissor Sister Jake Shears talked about his frustration with celebrities who opt to stay in the closet instead of being a role model to the millions of teens struggling with their sexuality.
"If you’re going to be a closet case then just lie and say you’re straight. It bugs me when they say “why are you asking me if I’m gay? It doesn’t matter.” Well it matters a lot to the fifteen year-old at home who’s going through it. It’s a highly offensive statement and it makes me angry.
I’d love to be a role model for gay men who feel they don’t fit in to what it means to be gay. You don’t need a perfect body and hair and love dance music and go out all night and do drugs. I’m a pretty decent guy. I’m the most level-headed in the band by default because everyone else is fucking insane.”
Magic Hour comes out on May 29.
