union J and one direction: a thread — two bands who were both formed on x factor and had the same management. VERY IMPORTANT 🏳️‍🌈
George (the most crushed on member of the band) comes out after the band disbands.
he talks about how he couldn't be free and "coming out was not an option".
he is very candid about the struggles he faced. anyone "not straight" was closeted.
more of what he had to say:
the reason why he even came out was because union J didnt really make it as big as 1D. all i hope to convey via this thread is that the whole "they are adults and have solo careers if they were queer they would be out" argument is bs. the industry is homophobic af. bye.
