Lead singer of band Faker Nathan Hudson told the Sunday Magazine he is gay and that he hopes his admission will make young gay teens feel comfortable with their sexuality.

“My association with being gay was that it was bad and dark and not good for you. I had trouble finding people to look up to,” he said. 

“I’m happy to talk about being gay for that kid in the suburbs who’s 15 and scared.”

It’s refreshing to hear someone speak so openly and candidly, especially from the macho world of alternative rock. I hope Nathan’s right and his words can inspire young people struggling with their own sexuality. He joins Darren Hayes, Missy Higgins and Anthony Callea who are proud of who they are and not letting it affect their music.
