Feeling man on gay stuff

The Feeling's Dan Gillespie tells The Sun he grew up attending Gay Pride with his lesbian mothers and that schoolmates knew he was gay before he did.

The Feeling's Dan Gillespie has apparently spoken to The Sun about being gay, and having a gay mother. The singer explained: "I was brought up on the gay scene because my mum is gay and so is my uncle. I've been going to Gay Pride marches since I was about four. We were a super right-on family. Not only did I have two lesbian mothers but my mum was in a wheelchair. We assumed the position of a kind of poster family for civil liberties organisations. There is a picture of me when I was six holding up a banner saying 'My mum's a lesbian and I love her.' It was at a Pride event and was used in a lot of newspapers."

On his own sexuality, he continued: "Most of the kids at school seemed to know I was gay a long time before I knew myself. I had a slightly effeminate air - and children are very intuitive aren't they? They spot things. It's obvious really." Hang on, his mum, his uncle, now him? Is it contagious?
