Another One Joins The Club

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Australiastic

l_57ad80cb9b1b14ff08ebf5a74866c450.jpg

Australian rocker Nathan Hudson from the band Faker has come out of the closet!

Says the now publicly out singer: "I'm happy to talk about it, for that kid who's 15 and scared. My association with being gay was that it was bad and dark and not good for you. I had trouble finding people to look up to. I'm talking about this to be a bit freer. It's something that shouldn't matter and, on a lot of levels, it doesn't - I hope the music we make transcends that. Still it's nice to be able to say this stuff.

Congrats!

    The club of deviation…
    .
    Man is for woman, woman is for man.
    I don't agree with homosexuality, it' s not genetic ( if it was then the gay genes could not be passed on!), it's not natural (man and woman fit together like a lock and key, man/man and female/female do not) and it's not right and you know it.

    To #11—two men fit together REALLY well physically, in case you don't know! And I have green eyes and both of my parents did not, nor did both sets of grandparents. But I've got 'em. And homosexuality is not a matter of "believing" in it or not. IT IS, has always been, and always will BE. Period. It is in nature as well, so get over yourself.

    These boys are friends of mine and I'm glad that Nathan has finally wanted to dismiss the rumours. He disliked the assumption that he was into girls.

    And also, Nic, the bassist, is also gay :)

    Lets just wait for the Australian music industry to shun them now, or British India's tour manager at least… hmmpf.

    this is sick . homosexuality is a perversion and a sickness that is caused by abuse, just like cancer is caused by smoking. and no one would say that cancer is a good thing would they? it isnt "ok" to be homosexual any more than it is ok to be a molester, serial murderer, bank robber, rapist etc…

    GOOD FOR HIM…AND HE'S RIGHT RE: THE YOUNG PEOPLE. THE SOONER YOU START TO ACCEPT THAT YOU'RE GAY THE BETTER. IF MY PARENTS HADN'T GOTTEN DIVORCED MY DAD WOULD HAVE FORCED ME TO BE STRAIGHT…AS IF THAT CAN BE DONE. ANY GIRL I WOULD HAVE TRIED WITH WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT AND I RESPECT WOMEN TOO MUCH FOR THAT. I'VE BEEN GAY SINCE KINDERGARTEN AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY OUT CELEBRITIES TO LOOK UP TO.

    Re: paca – wow. people like you are the reason that gay teenage suicide rate is so high.
    people don't choose to be gay. why would ANYONE willingly put up with asswipes like you?
    paca, the only difference between gay and straight people is what they do in bed. you wouldnt think of what your parents in bed. why would you think about what anyone else does?
    lastly, if you're so opposed to gay people, get off this site, or at least dont go around looking for arguments.

    Re: alex

    that is my point–people dont choose to be gay, they are abused into becoming gay. and when freaks like rockstars and perez are openly homosexual that inures society to the sickness of homosexuality and encourages more abuse in the name of "accepting gays". homosexuality needs to be treated like the sickness it is and abuse rates will go down. there is nothing "natural" about being gay any more than there is anything natural about being a serial killer or a rapist or a molester or a molester

    Perez, you should just go work for Out Magazine. You are so obsessed with who is gay, who hasn't come out, etc., it overrides all the other news on your website. This is just not that big a deal that we have to hear who is out and who isn't EVERY SINGLE DAY. Enough already.

  44. Why announce??? says – reply to this
    44

    Why the need to announce it? Who cares? Do people come out and announce that they're heterosexual? Keep your sex lives to yourselves. If being gay is what makes you happy, that is your business. It should be between you & your partner.

    Re: aquaboogie
    you idiot think about what youre saying. just because you like something about someone doesnt make everything they do ok. would you have said the following:
    "I have learned more about serial killers/rapists/molesters/bank robbers in the 2 years i've been reading this site than in my entire life. Who knew serial killers/rapists/molesters/bank robbers were cool? "

    Re: paca
    how can you compare physically and emotionally scarring someone by raping them with a guy liking other guys?
    obviously you've never been forced into sex, you ignorant asshole.
    the way i see it, the only way being gay is a sin is if that gay person becomes (your favourite) a rapist.
    shut the fuck up about things you know nothing about.

    "I don't agree with homosexuality, it' s not genetic "

    To the girl who said this, I'm sorry you feel this way, but don't think that 10 billion gays and lesbians are going to change their lives just for you. I don't care who was made for who, if the parts fit - and they most certainly do, with a little work - then it's fair game. And it's as genetic as eye colour or hair colour. It doesn't always pass down from generation to generation but it's most definately present in your DNA and will show up at some point in time. Same with homosexuality. You can never predict when it will happen so you better stay alert. All your physical information - eye colour, blood type, sexuality, general health - in contained in your DNA therefore trying to remove it from there would be fatal and deadly to the person concerned. I'm sorry but you're gonna have to put up with it whether you like it or not. That's one of the rules in the game called "Life".

    Re: paca
    do you live by a zoo?
    or maybe have multiple birds for pets?
    or have squirrels nearby, maybe living in your backyard?

    if the answer is yes, i want you to watch them. carefully.
    in the wild, a percentage of animals ARE gay. and as far as i know, little birdies dont molest each other. you dont need to be abused to be gay.

    Why the need to announce it? Who cares? Do heterosexual people announce that they are straight? What happens in the bedroom, should stay there. Keep your private sex lives to yourself and the world will be a much happier place.

    Re: wtf?

    of course it is a sin. did you know that every major religion considers it to be unnatural and an abomination akin to bestiality. islam, christianity, judaism, buddhism and hinduism all consider it to be a sin, usually deserving of harsh punishment

    Re: Why announce??? Why the need to announce it? Who cares?

    Because it's called "coming out of the closet" and it's the most difficult and also most important thing in a gay person's life. If they don't announce it to the world, then they will be carrying it their grave and that's very harmful and dangerous to them. They don't want to live a lie forever. It's our responsibility to be understanding and helpful towards them.

    Re: paca

    Oh but there is. The American Psychiatric Association stated ackin the 1950's that homosexuality is not a disease. Gay people have absolutely nothing wrong with them, physically or mentally. It's bigots like you who label it as "wrong" so you can bully them and push them around for your own personal gratification.

    Re: paca – That's bullshit. Only Semitic religions - Christianity, Islam and Judaism - see it as sinful, but what do they know?? Buddhism and Hinduism say NOTHING about homosexuality as sinful, and whatever you may have read was written by human men, not gods. I know this because my mother follows Hinduism and I've done a lot of reserch on it. If anything, Hinduism encourages sexual pleasure as essential to human life while Christianity, Islam and Judaism forbif it along with homosexuality. But none of those religions are any match for real issues in the real world.

    Re: paca – Oh yes, animals certainly engage in gay sex whenever they feel the need and humans have been engaging in gay sex for centuries WITHOUT any justification from anybody. The only difference is, we find it unsettling because bigots like you have invented words like "perversion" and "immoral" so can label us with them like jars and humiliate and bully us to satisfy your own selfishness and hatred, whereas animals accept each other and don't give each other a hard time for it. Learn from them, you goddamn Nazi.

    sorry but youre just uneducated. in hindu society homosexuals are part of the "third sex" and are shunned from society. homosexuality in buddhism is considered so unnatural that they dont dare come out of the closet in that society at all. if you support homosexuality personally just admit it but dont lie about what others think

    if you beat a child to the point that he grows up to be a violent monster himself i think anyone woud say that person has a psychiatric problem regardless of what any psychiatric association has said since the 1950's. the same goes for homosexuality. if a child is molested into becoming a homosexual, that doesnt mean there isnt something psycho
