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.”

well yeah…
We always knew. Not because of his attitude but because of his history
what is his history ? ^^
They are all gay. Big deal! All the fan-girls are going to have a meltdown and their hearts are going to be broken over this. lol
Hey, do I sound good On this cover:

Sad thing you probably think that was good 🙂 Kids…
@JOHNVIDAL Nigguh, just….. Bye. You’re too much right now…
DEAD!!! YES, the best I’ve ever heard! Rihanna could neva…..OMG!!
@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.
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 🙁 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 😉
@MC Dead at those otha two h*** def thinking thats ACTUALLY ME, He has donce most of her songs, it only gets worse.
You sound like s*** Benron.
LOL! dead at people thinking its actually you. Damn, the guy actually thought he was good, he was taking his time to sing those lyrics….lol
P.S. Brother loved it and my mom asked me if he was singing about his mother and I was like no its a song by someone else and my dad was like its a Rihanna song?!!?! I was surprise that he knew this. Imagine my face o_O
Lol your dad is a secret Stan! Go check to see if he is playing No love allowed! And dead at your whole family enjoyed “my” beautiful singing, “I’m” so talented. Mariah better watch out before I outsing her at this years grammies!
LOL! My dad still thinks she’s a brat. He heard this song on the radio (he listens to the radio while driving a lot) other wise…….IDK where else he heard it. A secret fan? lol….Mariah better watch it before you slay her and everyone this year. Voice of the generation!
Lol @ Your dad’s perception of her. When you buy the album tommorrow skip Phresh off the runway and pour it up to not taint her further.
And Whitney WHO-stoun, Imma be the a vocal GOD!
LOL. Don’t come for Whitney’s crown! You just might be the best vocalist EVER. *Bows down to your greatness*.
Sis, I am unhappy with this album, there is no way I am buying it for $13 or $16……I’ll buy it on black Friday for 0.99$ if not then no……its not worth $16 imo.
@MC some store is putting multiple albums on sale for 5 dollars on black friday, so hers might be there. If so and yo usee It I expect you to buy it because it is worth the price of a footlong.
I’ll buy it for $5 worth it for those 5 songs that I like.
ATTENTION SEEKER!!!!!!!!!!

Your profile name and statement are mean but funny! More seats than a British Airways 747
Lol @ how the rest of the guys are standing away from him in the first picture. Anyways they’re still s*** and this is the best opportunity for them to beg for votes. Now that he’s come out maybe they should all do it, one by one, week by week!
Good for him.
as if we didnt know… Louis probably made him come out to get the gay vote
The sad thing is that this might affect the other boy’s chances of winning and doing well. Let’s face it, society isn’t as accepting as we’d like it to be and will hold his sexuality against him.
“I didn’t want to do it in five year’s time when I have a career.”
son, youll be lucky to have a career in 5 months time.
also hes 22?! the X factor styled him to look 5 years younger.
PUBLICITY
I’m waiting for 1D’s Louis coming out too.
Dude, it was no secret, we already knew that. NEXT….
So did Davidina post this “news” because he now thinks he has a chance?? Oh oh Samantha you better hold on to your man and keep his payola ass in check.
What Kinda Culture Impact! Look at Francine Ocean inspiring these chirren! Can’t wait to hear this one’s letter!
Francine Oceania: Changing the Wolrd one overly dramatic piece at a time.
🙂
Lawl.
You are a mess.
Lawl I know!
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 s***!
Still mad The Queen still won’t date Drake? Stay steam pressed.
I do not care to read your long ass paragraph explaining why you support homosexuals because I already knew that by your Drake related username.
@OVOForever LMFAO!
Support homosexuals? Silly Christians and their make believe worlds.
“Louis PUSHED me to come out”???
GWOOOOOOOORL…
Why didn’t and doesn’t Louis PUSH himself to come out???
Everybody knows that 57 year old is so far in the closet, Narnia had relocate somewhere else!!!
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.
KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. 😉
#PoorDat
Gay lol Louis F*** HIM COZ HIS GAY ASWEEL
Do you remember when a man accused Louis of squeezing his bum at a nightclub. KIIIIIII
LOL,
Don’t worry, they will ship him to the US where the crowd will drool over his oxfords! In the US, the biased media will declare him a national treasure for his “BRAVEY & COURAGE”! LOL 🙂
I Endorse artists who come out and show who they really are and arent afraid of pretending to be anything else. MAJOR PROPS!!
They will get kick out tonight
Their album s number1 with 260k sold and their single s also number 1 well done guys!!! Now rihanna there s no competition we all know now u can b number 1 next week but it won’t sell 260k it may sell 55k
I meant one direction
First of all WHO? Union J…….the f**k? 0_o
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
Well if we’re being totally honest, he’s not really telling us anything we didn’t already know.
Neither was your mom when she revealed she was born a man.
What the f*** does he mean every band has a gay member.
Boo boo, we all know Zayn has a little sugar in his tank.
I want you to be very careful when speaking about ANY of the boys. I wouldn’t want to have to drag that ghetto clown you worship. B****.
I rest my case
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpjdoX3844w
oh my gosh. I was being sarcastic but this… ULTIMATE KIIIIII!
LML damn….*walks away*
ONE DIRECTION indeed.
OMG…LOL 🙂 I’ve not laughed this much in 10 years…LOL 🙂
Now with that said, you know damn well those images were PHOTOSHOPPED, CUT & SPLICED!……LOL it was still funny as hell but come on now that proves nothing!! 🙂
Don’t know about the rest but Louis and Zayne from One Direction are most definitely gay.
Francine Rivers is inspiring these boys. Get it!!
Is that Frank Ocean?…LOL y’all are acting out in this post! 🙂
we supposed to be surprise….sigh we already now by looking them i wouldn’t be surprised just the same if them one direction came out too..no shade against gay people whatever rock there boat is there business.
NOOOO.. Really?
I think on this site no matter what the post you just deliver hate. You all read each other because of your own insecurities. That is so sad. These people are making dreams come true and you all s*** on them, because it is not you. SAD HATERS
What is to be come of this gay? This comes as no surprise, but as a way to get em to the top. Honey child please!! it did not work for adam lambert, and it sure as hell didn’t work for B2k. Please go fill up one of those seats in the audience with this gay entertainment
LMBO! I don’t know, Frank Ocean might end up with a Grammy in 2013!! Don’t write off this “power move” just yet…….I’m just saying LOL 🙂
Likewise, I’m just waiting on Louis from 1D. #thatisall
Good for him! BE WHO YOU ARE! Life is to short ,so life it being happy!
I meant to say (Life is to short so live it being happy) lol P.s Im so buying there new album OMG!lol
You look extra gay in that avi…
loooooool your not easy
@Belladonna Let’s just hope paedophiles, rapists and murders don’t read your comment!
@Honeychildplease you can be a c***.
Consent, look it up.
Belladonna is disgusting. Just yuck.
Not suprised! Remenber when he did that hand gesture on the show!
I don’t know him since i’m from the USA but One Direction are definitely Gay, all of them, specially this guy, i don’t know his name but here’s a gift.
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3lvdoT4291r4b2f1o1_500.gif
EEMMMM YOU’D FIND HE IS ACTUALLY THE ONE WITH A GIRLFRIEND BUT THE REST.LOL
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.
Am I supposed to know who this is? LOL
Real news, please.
This kid is the most talented of the boys, sadly, he’s also the least attractive 🙁
Here’s to hoping the rest come out as gay too!
Well all in all he still their only really strong vocalist.
He’s almost a soloist with all those leads.
Those back up singers best hang on to him TIGHT.
No Jaymi = No existence of Union J
He done it to get more votes ie from the gay community look at the timing bottom 2 for weeks now their getting through come on people why
Diddent he say it at the start
