"Michael Jackson made me gay!!!"

Published Thursday, Aug 30 2007, 12:09 BST | By Nick Levine | 6 comments
Have you seen today's showbiz news? Darren Hayes reckons he "owes" his coming out to Michael Jackson. To be honest, the sight of a middle-aged man of indeterminate race slowly turning himself into the bastard love child of David Gest and Diana Ross doesn't exactly make us think, "Aha! I really love men!" But there you go. Each is to his own and all that.

Anyway, did anyone inspire you to tell the world you're gay? Beth Ditto? Zac Efron? Late romance novelist Dame Barbara Cartland? Hit the 'Click to see and add comments button' to let us know.

Zach (Thomas Dekker) from Heroes.. almost... if he hadn't left the show.

Mine were a mix between Graham Norton and Will Young - to see them both so accepted by the public and admired helped me a lot. Ironically, after I sat my mum down and uttered those dreaded words, what song should come on the TV? Will Young with 'Anything Is Possible'. Indeed :)

The celebrity who made me aware of my sexuality was none other than Mia Kirshner as Jenny in The L Word. Well I knew I liked women but she made me more open to it.

Eliza Dushku as Faith in Buffy made me into a lesbian! Well, I was one anyway but I'm convinced she helped me out a little ;)]
