“I have always been a very honest person and so it is important for me to continue to be honest. It has been the most amazing year so far and I feel so privileged. It’s also been a time of real self-realization and I feel as if I have grown up so much in these few months.”
After coming out of his closet, he further explained that he had some struggles with his sexual orientation while growing up. So after reflecting on the topic for some time, Joe finally got the answer to it and chose to bring forward to everybody who had been questioning his identity for a while.
