Feb. 1st, 2011 08:44 pmDear Jonathan Knight -
I know you're not going to read this - or probably even give much of a damn - but I want to just say that I think you are really awesome.
Don't get me wrong, I've always thought you were awesome even back in the New Kids days (when I had the hots for your brother... yet I ended up queer. Go figure...).
But now, the awesome is coming from your willingness to be open and honest about who you are. And I really love and appreciate the fact that you don't feel the need to be on the cover of a magazine proclaiming that you're gay.
I think my only frustration, one that I've seen articulated by others, is that your coming out years sooner really could have been helpful to the GLBT kids of my generation. You said that you'd come out 20 years ago... but it obviously wasn't heard, since there were so many years of speculation until you finally admitted what a lot of us had already figured out (it's called wicked good Gaydar).
Anyways, hopefully this coming generation will benefit from you and so many others coming out, without major fanfare or controversy necessary. And thank you for working with The Trevor Project - I learned about the group from your Twitter feed!
So thanks again Jonathan, for being awesome - while being yourself.
Cheers,
Carly
