What an amazing thing is happening on The X Factor, UK version. Jaymi Hensley, a member of this year's last remaining group, boyband Union J, has come out publicly, and the reaction of the group's fans, largely teenage girls, is one of... joy! O brave new world, That has such people in't!
“I got a tweet from a boy who must have been 13 or 14 asking if the rumours that I was gay were true.
“He said he really wished I could be out because he didn’t have anyone to look up to and was finding it really hard to fit in and tell his parents.
“I was that kid at 14 and really wish I had someone to say it was OK to be pictured on the red carpet with a guy and be gay in a boyband.
“The X Factor is such a great show to show that — you’ve got such a great range of characters, especially Rylan who is so open.
