DONNIE WHALBERG OUTS JONATHAN KNIGHT?
Music Artists, New Kids On The Block, News November 21st, 2008
I really think there should be a law against homophobia. I mean seriously, we’re supposed to be moving forward because it’s the 21st century and yet we’re moving backwards. There are more pressing issues than homosexuality!
Grow up people!
Yesterday, New Kids On The Block-er Donnie Whalberg raised some eyebrows with a quote he gave about boy bands and closeted NKOTB member Jonathan Knight.
In a newspaper interview, Donnie said that, “You could look at a group like ‘NSync and go, ‘Oh my gosh, Lance Bass is the Jon Knight, Justin Timberlake is the Joe McIntyre, JC Chasez is the Jordan Knight’–you could go right down the line.
But now Donnie feels he has to defend what he said. He wanted to make it clear that he didn’t mean to ‘out’ Knight.
Too late buddy! You just did!
Donnie claims that comparing Jon to Lance Bass wasn’t a comparison to his homosexuality. Although a lot of people already know of Knight’s gayness and even know that he has a boyfriend.
He later then apologized for making the comment. But really why should he?
But why won’t Jon just come out?
It’s not like it’s going to hurt his career. Look at Lance, he finally did and it didn’t hurt his career. It actually helped it!
