Johnny Weir Comes Out As Gay
Figure skating champion Johnny Weir comes out and reveals he’s gay! Weir reveals his sexuality in his new memoir. I think everyone and their mother knew that.
On the cover of his memoir, “Welcome to My World,” he’s wearing black high heels, a black fur and posing under a disco ball.
In excerpts published in People magazine, Weir talks about his sexuality.
“In a sexual way, I’m gay,” he said. “I would marry a woman tomorrow if it struck me. I don’t think sex and relationships necessarily have to go together.”
Weir saidhis decision to comfirm he’s gay has a lot to do with recent string of gay teen suicides.
“With people killing themselves and being scared into the closet, I hope that even just one person can gain strength from my story,” he said.
Weir helped raise money for The Trevor Project last year, a non-profit focused on cutting down on the suicide rate among gay and lesbian youth.
