Tevin Campbell is opening up about his sexuality, coming out to the world this week as a gay man in an interview with the People magazine podcast \u201cPeople Every Day.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I came out to my family and friends [at] about 19 or 20, that was it for me,\u201d the \u201cI\u2019m Ready\u201d singer said. \u201cAnd then I went on the road of discovering myself. I didn\u2019t know who I was.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campbell said he didn\u2019t try to hide anything<\/a> about himself or act \u201cstraight,\u201d but acknowledged how difficult it was to be publicly gay in the \u201990s. He said he was \u201cglad he gets to see\u201d queer stars such as Frank Ocean and Lil Nas X and noted how affirming their success is for young Black boys still discovering themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we can get to the place in society where somebody can just say, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019m gay,\u2019\u201d Campbell said. \u201cEvery person in the world isn\u2019t straight. Get over it! When you get to a point in your life where you love yourself so much and you don\u2019t give a damn what people say or think about you, that feels so good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the R&B singer fueled speculation about his sexuality when the \u201cCan We Talk\u201d hitmaker tweeted<\/a> (and later deleted) \u201cTevin is [rainbow flag emoji]\u201d in response to a user saying she had heard that he, Luther Vandross and Teddy Pendergrass were all gay. Campbell followed it up by responding \u201cI\u2019ll live\u201d to someone who offered insincere congratulations on his \u201csoon-to-be ban from the state of Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campbell is coming out publicly almost 20 years after he declared he was not gay but he was a \u201ctry-sexual\u201d in an interview<\/a> with Sister 2 Sister magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not gay, but there are a lot of different things that I do like, sexually,\u201d Campbell said when asked about his sexuality. \u201cBeing in the business, you are introduced to a lot of different things. I\u2019m not gay but I\u2019m a freak and I think a lot of people know what a freak is.\u201d <\/p>\n
