What a time to be gay
The YouTube star made headlines once again after posting a heartwarming coming out story on his Instagram account. With his 617,000+ followers, the 19-year-old posted an LGBT+ flag with a lengthy caption about his true self.
You can recall him as the boy who played the piano and sang Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi on The Ellen Show 7 years ago. Raking 59 million views, Ellen Degeneres, later on, signed him as the first artist to her recording label ‘Eleveneleven’.
Explanation
He posted the flag with an exceptional shocking caption that left everyone in tears. According to him, he was 16 when he fully embraced his individuality but kept his realizations to the public. But now, he decided to let it all out after a ‘brave individual’ inspired him to do so.
“While 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,” Greyson ending his truly inspiring story.
He also said that he is more than proud to know who he really is.
Proud momma
Aside from him and his loved ones, another individual rejoices as he comes to his own terms and finally spilled the beans. His music industry birth-giver Ellen DeGeneres tweeted him expressing how proud she is of him.
It was May 26th of 2010 when Ellen invited Greyson back to the show and formally announced him as his first artist under her new record label.
Greyson continues to keep his spot on the spotlight as he released his EP, Somewhere Over My Head in May and his single Seasons in June.
