After years of sidestepping questions about his sexual orientation, actor Taylor Lautner reveals in a heartfelt posting online that he is gay.
“I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man,” Lautner, 19, said Monday to People.com. “I am very blessed to be who I am.”
He said his Twilight costar, Kristen Stewart, inspired him to be true to himself.
“To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the love that my fans give to me,” says Lautner. “These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn’t even know existed.”
“When someone like Taylor Lautner comes out, hundreds of millions of people now have a cultural connection with an actor, and perhaps most importantly, a celebrity who happens to be gay,” said Jarrett Barrios, President of GLAAD. “His decision to model this kind of openness and honesty can lead to greater acceptance for countless gay people in U.S. and worldwide.”
He is indeed blessed to be who he is. I can only applaud the lad, and a pox upon anyone that derides him.
I agree with beautiful Sigh 100 per cent.
It’s a fake cover.

Fake or real, he’s hot! Who cares.
Taylor Lautner is my total fantasy, a real wet dream, look at the pecs on him, when he is topless.
god how i would love to have him inside of me
Heis so hot. I love to see him when he is interviewed. So glad he has come out as gay and at a early age, so he can be free. Wish I was younger and hot would love to spend lots of evenings with him.
WOW! for those guys who commented that are gullible…”really good fake” means NOT TRUE!!
Guys, learn to read. The title says fake and it isn’t even January 7, 2012 yet.

Apparently im the only person that thinks this shit is really immature and kind of awful? We bitch so much about the way we’re treated and then hypocritically force people out of the closet or harass them about their sexuality. You wouldnt want to see a poster on the side of the street declaring your sexuality, fake or real, and I think its absurd and disrespectful and hypocritical to promote this type of activity.
