Watch: Ellen's Schützling Greyson Chance hat sein Coming Out

Mit 12 Jahren wurde er von Ellen DeGeneres unter Vertrag genommen, nachdem seine Piano-Version von Lady Gaga's Paparazzi zur Youtube-Sensation mutierte, nun, sieben Jahre später, wagt Greyson Chance sein Coming Out via seinem Instagram-Profil:

"The decision to write this came after I received a message from a brave individual. Such message inspired me to shed light on an aspect of my private life which I have kept distant from my career in music.

I came to fully recognize that I was gay when I was sixteen. I decided not to publicize my sexuality largely due to a matter of privacy, as I was still trying to find comfort and confidence within my own skin. Further, I always found conversations regarding music, politics, art, books – and the greatness of Nas’ catalog – to be far more interesting than what type of guy I was into. This is still true today.

this message is most definitely overdue, I encourage anyone who is navigating their sexuality to devote as much time as they need to the process of finding self-confidence, self-acceptance, and self-love. Hell, for me, it took years to write this message. Nevertheless, I figured now was the time to let a few more friends know that I am happy, I am here for you, and I am proud of who I am.

Cheers
-G"
