This is NOT good news
Cute ginger Brit pop stars
Will Young's guilt is so adorable (as is he). He shouldn't feel badly though. He's been out for years and he makes no effort to conceal himself. I remember picking up a copy of a UK tabloid in London and there were pics of him walking the street holding hands with his boyfriend and the camera angle made it clear they weren't being photographed from a duck blind.
When I compare this to all the celebs that spend years denying being gay I think Will is probably pretty far from being the "worst gay person ever", even if he's not a big activist like Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Elton John or John Barrowman.
