Former S Club 7 Singer Comes Out Of The Closet!

Well, we certainly hadn't heard from them in a while! But for this news, we think it's pretty justified!

Former S Club 7 singer Jon Lee has announced that he is gay!

He recently spoke to GT Magazine about keeping his sexual preference on the the DL, and his ideal man!

He says:

“If someone had said ’are you gay?’ I would have said yes, but no-one ever did. I’ve never felt the need to leap out of the closet singing and dancing about it. I’ve always known I was gay, from a very young age. I came out to my friends and my family at a very young age, so for me it’s always been my life and it’s never needed to be a huge change that I’ve had to tell everyone about. If you are in the public eye I think people feel like they have a right to know, feel like they have a right to ask and that you should be completely open and honest about all these things. And I think it depends.

Obviously you have to be good looking, not an utter rotter, but someone who’s just happy in themselves you know? That to me is attractive. And someone to make me laugh. If you can make me laugh you’re halfway there really.”

We think he makes a pretty decent point, and we're happy he finally spoke openly about it!

Congratulations, bb! And we don't think you'll have ANY problems finding an attractive man!

Thoughts??

    nobody ever asked the guy is he was guy because nobody gives a fuck…except Hilton



  4. 4

    Never heard of him or the band.

    who cares if you like to stick it up a guy's ass.

    Do all of us really need to know?



  5. 5

    ummm . . . . . . who?



  6. 6

    Good for him. And as for "The Owl"….I'd like to promote my fist removing your teeth from your mouth.



  7. 7

    I KNEW IT SO BAD!!!!! Since I'm 10 LOL (Now I'm 17)



  8. 8

    Well duh, every female s club fan knew this already.



  9. 9

    We're here we're QUEER… get use to it!



  10. 10

    S club 7 was the best and omg i had the biggest crush on him and yay hes gay! lol



  11. 11

    Good for him but I knew he was gay a long time ago. I thought everyone else did too.



  12. 12

    Who? And who cares? I'm glad he or she (I didn't read the article because, really, who cares)… I'm glad this person chose to be themselves.



  13. 13

    Ahh what a suprise. NOT! I think everyone knew from the beginning that he was gay.



  14. 14

    I've never heard of them.



  15. 15

    no shit! lmao.



  16. 16

    can't believe people are saying WHO. they were the biggest band in the UK some years ago, so FU, you all missed out on an amazing band :) finally osmething the US didn't steal :)



  17. 17

    they're all gay– all those teen singers
    this is nothing new



  18. 18

    anyone who ever watched the s club 7 show…already knew he was gay.



  19. 19

    I used to watch this show when I was a kid and I didn't even know what gay was then, so obviously I never suspected this. haha Good for him though.



  20. 20

    as if we didnt know perez when we watch the show



  21. 21

    haha wow I use to watch that shit when I was young now I'm 21 haha it's cool good for him

  22. okgo says – reply to this


    22

    He looks like Derek Hough in that picture. Well at least one of them came out….



  23. 23

    "Ain't no party like an S Club party!"



  24. 24

    Given that Perez is gay himself, I'm surprised his staff would refer to "sexual preference" when that loaded/inaccurate phrase has been denounced by the LGBT community since like, the 90s.



  25. 25

    you know what? I don't give a rat's ass who is gay or not. I do not introduce myself as "soandso" I am gay. I think more people would freak out if people started to introduce themselves as "hi, i'm soandso,, I'm hetero.



  26. 26

    former s club 7 singer comes out..of nowhere. why is it all these people decide to come out years and years after their careers die and nobody gives a shit about them. nobody asked..so he never said he was gay? poor excuse. im not saying he isnt gay, but the timing looks like a publicity stunt.



  27. 27

    remember when sex was behind bedroom doors? no one else needs to know what you do behind your bedroom doors and in no way should it make you special.



  28. 28

    i don't care who you are…..your sexual preference does not make you special in any job (other than porn)



  29. 29

    have i made myself clear yet? sexual preference does NOT make a person. what you do with your life DOES

  30. Dusss says – reply to this


    30

    I don't get it….

    1. Every time someone comes out of the closet it's nothing new. Everybody knew already!
    2. who cares..? It's not like I'm coming out of the closet and tell everyone I know them I'm straight. But if you're gay then it's something you just have to do.

    I DON'T CARE if you like men, women or both. Just act, sing or whatever you're supposed to be famous for.

    Sigh…



  31. 31

    doesn't anyone else think that when he says "obviously they have to be good-looking" turn you off no matter WHAT you are sexually? agh. girls, guys, no difference - still a douchebag.

  32. bec88 says – reply to this


    32

    he announced he was gay years ago! or everyone in the uk already knew



  33. 33

    why do you have to announce youre gay?
    should i announce my orientation too?
    thats unacceptable

  34. byho says – reply to this


    34

  35. 35

  36. Merab says – reply to this


    36

    I know people in comments here have already wondered that..but I still ask the same question: WHY DO WE NEED TO KNOW THAT?
    Especially when nobody even asked him…



  37. 37

  43. 43

    OMG i had such a crush on him. i knew he was super gay deep in my heart though, hahaha… JON D:



  44. 44

    Perez, you're such a hypocrite. You try to say people shouldn't make a big deal out of gays and that they should be equal, yeah, thats very true, so don't contradict that and act like its some massive news story when its only his sexuality. Sexuality doesn't define who you are and you think this too Perez, but then you go make a big song and dance when sombody says they're gay. Stop being such a hypocrite



  45. 45

    it wont be you though perez



  46. 46

    Surprise!



  47. 47
