I hope that I can be an inspiration to kids that are young and may feel different or may feel like they don't belong.

My belief is that you live your life by example, and not by a caption on a magazine!
Being in a relationship grounds you. You feel a sense of home.
My fellow band members don't discuss their loved ones, and I don't feel that just because I am gay, I should have to discuss mine!
I have lived my life very openly, and have never hidden the fact that I am gay!
If there ever has been any confusion about my sexuality, then you are someone that doesn't even know me!
I have never been outed by anyone but myself!
Apparently, the prerequisite to being a gay public figure is to appear on the cover of a magazine with the caption 'I am gay'. I apologize for not doing so if this is what was expected!
I just always had this feeling inside me of always being nervous and afraid of situations.
From 1994 to 1997, I did nothing. I slept and slept and slept. If I was awake, I had to deal with things, I had to do things. In order to avoid that, I would just stay in bed.
I was always doodling house sketches.
I want to be around people, not crickets.
Even when the band got back together in 2008, New Kids fans knew I was gay. Everyone did.
The whole New Kids thing was crazy. The more it grew, the more I just felt like I was trapped.
I hate heights, that's the most terrifying thing for me.
I kind of live my life as an example, and I just never felt like I had to be on the cover of a magazine announcing that I was gay; it's just who I am. I just live my life, and I never really thought about it.
