I just wanted to take a quick moment to say that I’m gay. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now but finally feel comfortable enough to get it off my chest.
I really have the best life, I’ve got the best family, friends and job a guy can ask for.”“I’m a pretty private person so I hope you guys know that I’m really not doing this for attention.
