Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Singer Ne-Yo has reportedly announced that he is gay. Apparently, he sat down with Essence magazine and made the announcement because he had grown tired of living a lie.
He said, “Yes, I am gay, and I always have been. You know this world we live in is full of judgment, resulting in one of the reasons why it took me so long to come out of the closet.”
There were previous rumors about Ne-Yo having a relationship with a dude in high school. Def Jam reportedly tried to pay the dude to keep quiet in fears that it would ruin Ne-Yo’s image.
Ne-Yo says of that, “That situation was what inspired me to write the song Unfaithful. But no one knew it was actually about myself, and our relationship.”
He left us with one last token, saying, “The music industry can either except me for who I am, or desert me.”
We’ll take ya, Ne-Yo, the fact that you’re gay doesn’t mean you’re not a good singer.
Thanks Jerry!

I think that he made a good step as in telling his sexuality. It had finally stopped the rumors and i feel that if he honest with himself then that will make him happy. Neyo is still the best and will always be the best.Love your #1 fan David Booker from Jersey City,New jersey

i think it’s just a phase if he did say dat or he just saying that because they are all on him like that to keep him off his jock

Who cares? Talented, hardworking, moneymaking, inspiring, tremendously respected and definately responsible for making “others” at home on the tops of the music charts. It’s his turn!

I don’t think that he is gay, but if he is he doesn’t really have that demeanor about him. I like him if he is gay or not; his CD Year of the Gentleman is on fire; so hot. It’s really sad that some people are so star struck that they really want to know; to be honest today is the first time I’ve heard anything of it because a friend sent the story to my e-mail, I could care less

There is absolutrly nothing wrong with being gay. It doesn’t make him any less talented does it???? We should all learn to be comfortable with our true being & not judge others on their sexual orientation.
