I was always the Southern gentleman.
I definitely didn't want to be that person that came out and was like, 'O.K. I'm going to lead every parade.
Unfortunately, if you don't want to be in the spotlight, get out of it.
I'm the only gay person my parents know.
Very few people have the guts to come up to you and say, 'Hey, are you gay?
I actually didn't get to go to my prom. I left high school when I was 16 to join 'NSYNC. I felt that was something I always missed out on, and all my friends got to go and would tell me about it.
