Why did you hide it Well just the pressures of back then I didn't wanna alienate fans I was worried that being gay might um detract some of the the female fans from the band and I just I know I just had a lot of pressure Right 'cause the because the females would be like "Oh I can't sleep with him now," so I I just felt a lot of pressure I guess being in a boy band predominantly female audiences And I just I just had it in my head that it wasn't right to come out as gay so I kinda hid it for many years
