His fans were very supportive of him coming out, and flooded him with “a tsunami of love” — “almost to the point that it was hard for me to comprehend it for several days”, he added.
Also, he went on to share that his family had known about it for quite a while then, so it was comfortable. But, publicly, he felt like he was “stuck in a second gear phase.”
