Greyson Chance Publicly Comes Out As Gay; Writes Inspiring Message About It

Greyson Chance has officially come out as gay over social media today.

The “Seasons” singer wrote an inspiring message about his choice to tell everyone now versus earlier and how it’s changed him for the better.

“The decision to write this came after I received a message from a brave individual. Such message inspired me to shed light on an aspect of my private life which I have kept distant from my career in music,” he starts off on Instagram.

“I came to fully recognize that I was gay when I was sixteen. I decided not to publicize my sexuality largely due to a matter of privacy, as I was still trying to find comfort and confidence within my own skin,” Greyson writes. “Further, I always found conversations regarding music, politics, art, books � and the greatness of Nas’ catalog � to be far more interesting than what type of guy I was into. This is still true today.”

He continues, “While this message is most definitely overdue, I encourage anyone who is navigating their sexuality to devote as much time as they need to the process of finding self-confidence, self-acceptance, and self-love. Hell, for me, it took years to write this message. Nevertheless, I figured now was the time to let a few more friends know that I am happy, I am here for you, and I am proud of who I am.”

So happy for Greyson!
