It has been reported that Anthony Callea finalist of Australian Idol 2004 has been accidentally outed by a TV Traffic reporter (source).
Whilst this comes as no surprise to any gay guy who has seen him or met him or snogged him in the last few years at Stonewall Hotel in Sydney's Oxford Street. This news has devastated the legion of young girls who kissed his picture nightly on their bedroom walls.As Rodney Croome points out it will be very interesting to see whether he acknowledges his sexuality (he has denied he is gay in the past, and has danced around the issue).
I am not a huge fan of his voice or his music, but he will certainly gain my respect if he stands up and publicly acknowledges his sexuality.
Anthony has an opportunity to tell people that it's OK to be gay and not hide or deny any longer!
