The 'gay' Factor!
It seems to be X Factor tradition that the gay guys wait until after the show to come 'out' Of anyone with a good gaydar will know that Marcus, Johnny (obviously) & Craig! But of course theres the Risk?

![]() you don't need a gaydar .. Marcus was openly out before the show I think it's great that there seems a lot less emphasis on having to "hide" sexual orientation this year .. and I'm loving Johnny's banter with Gary .. love his comebacks

I remember when Will Young came out Richard & Judy had a phone-in poll asking whether or not he would have won if he'd already been out.
Times have changed, thankfully!... (R&J are no longer on TV )

Don't get me wrong I'm all for it! Craig hasn't actually came out! Yeah, Marcus we all know about, Johnny, very much out! But looks so thin!

Craig has admitted he is gay So has Marcus So did Sami What is your point? Just because there are few guys in the competition who are straight doesn't mean they must be in the closet |

The lad was only 18/19 and hadn't even told his parents about it until after the show.

It may seem like there's a more of an open attitude in this series, but other than Johnny's flirting with Gary you'd never know it for sure from the live competition broadcasts.
If Sami hadn't said she was a lesbian elsewhere few viewers would be any the wiser, and when judging her a few weeks ago Kelly said something about how she'd really connected with her song, and that it must've come from an experience with a man. Likewise Marcus, who originally was shown emotionally responding to a newspaper outing, but neither confirming nor denying it, has since been made to dance with/gyrate next to females, and lyrically sings his songs towards an opposite sex love interest. Craig has confirmed he's gay in a video which hasn't been shown on TV, after Nu Vibe accidentally outed him in one of their exit interviews. But on the X Factor lives he may be taken for straight by most viewers. The reason they play it that way is the traditional worry of losing votes. I'm afraid it's up to Johnny to openly fly the gay flag. I hope if he appears as Sarah Lee he'll sing Mad About The Boy and sling his suspendered leg around Gary's neck, á la Goldie. |

Do you have a link for this video of Nu Vibe 'outing' Craig? Last edited by ontheradio : 25-10-2011 at 20:52. Reason: spelling |

(somewhat off topic) Think back to when Frankie showed us all the Tattoo's of his Ex's on his backside during the auditions! The sign of a 'arrogant' git were plain to see!

Very good point! Theres no doubt, Johnny is recieving the gay vote. Although when I were watching it in the G-A-Y bar in London the other week, Marcus seemed very popular!
