To all my fans who have expressed concern:
Jan 27, 2011 By: Jonathan Knight


I have never been outed by anyone but myself! I did so almost twenty years ago.
I never knew that I would have to do it all over again publicly just because I
reunited with NKOTB! I have lived my life very openly and have never hidden the
fact that I am gay! Apparently the pre requisite 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! My belief is that you live your
life by example, and not by a caption on a magazine! If there ever has been any
confusion about my sexuality, then you are someone that doesn't even know me!
I love living my life being open and honest, but at this time I choose not to
discuss my private life any further! My fellow band members don't discuss their
private lives with their loved ones and I don't feel that just because I am gay,
I should have to discuss mine!
Jonathan
