Not since the arrival of ‘One Direction’ two years ago has the X Factor UK seen a boy band generate as much support and momentum as ‘Union J‘ have done this year.
Now the only group left in the competition, today has seen the group’s lead vocalist Jaymi Hensley announce news that will undoubtedly force the group’s star even further into Pop’s stratosphere.
Find out why below…
Speaking to ‘The Sun On Sunday’, the vocalist revealed that he is gay and was encouraged by on screen mentor Louis Walsh to share the news publicly.
He explained:
“Every boyband has got to have a gay one! And Louis just said: “Do it!”‘
I didn’t want to do it in five year’s time when I have a career. I don’t think anyone should have to hide who they are. I don’t want people to think I have hidden this to gain votes because I am so proud of who I am.
If I can help just one kid out, that’s enough for me.”

@Benron thanks for the laugh, I won’t shade you because that video was the shade! You shaded yourself hahahahaha, but kudos on the confidence to even post this.
he also looked the least gay in the group to me, I’ve always assumed the second lead singer, you know the bootleg version of Justin beiber with the spiked hair was gay! Oh well, I guess my white boy crush will remain channing Tatum and my black boy crush idris elba ohh and that Willie from american x factor 
On topic, Noooo not that guy, he was my fav in that group, I’m in love with his voice, I love it when a man has a mans singing voice like Seal has. And he is cute, why do all the cute ones turn up gay

You should be the last one to mock Frank Ocean sweetheart. Most gay men are in loving monogamous relationships, can the same be said for Hoanna, no it can’t. So sit.
If this British guy is gay that’s great he’s come out, but don’t ever try to mock gay people by feminizing their names as if their any less of men that straight men. You should be more concerned with making sure Rihanna doesn’t let the entire AMA line up run a train on her backstage tonight. The slut!

Anyway, Overall…
A) Good for him. He’s cute.
B) DO NOT expect Simon COWell and Syco to promote you after this fortunate BUT unfortunate revelation. Syco did the same with Joe McElderry, another Gay contestant.
C) EVERY tween living in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has now RIPPED your poster from their bedroom walls.

Second, OMG REALLY? Has it really come to this where everyone has to be GAY in order to sell CDs? So let me get this straight (no pun intended), his “on screen mentor” encouraged him to come out? What if his “coming out” impacts the competition for the rest of the group members? This just seems selfish to me. No you should not live a LIE or hurt and deceive innocent WOMEN, but this just seems VERY calculated! IMO

Good for his peace of mind but his “career” is over. 99.9% of boys bands fanbase are young women. No way they’re going to spend all their allowance on somebody who will never be attracted to one of them.
Lance Bass, Adam Lambert, Franck Ocean, they were all set to have phenomenal careers but it all stopped after their coming out.
As for One Direction, whoever is gay in there please keep it on the DL and watch the money pile as he plays Prince Charming for all the young girls for 2 or 3 more years.
