How many of the backstreet boys are gay

Technically, Backstreet Boy AJ McLean is a fag stag, but we’ll let him pick his label! In a recent interview with PrideSource, AJ opens up about the gays’ love for the Backstreet Boys and the Backstreet Boys’ love for the gays:

On discovering the Backstreet Boys had a big male lover following:

We did a show years ago in Ybor Metropolis in Tampa and Divine Brown — the girl who messed around with Hugh Grant endorse in the morning (laughs) — was hosting a flamboyant show. We actually had no thought. We were all really young. Kevin (Richardson) was obviously older, so he had been around all his gays at Disney (when he worked there before Backstreet Boys) and he had been around kingly queens before Nick (Carter) and me. We were in our trailer and we were watching these guys modifying. We thought these were chicks — and all of a sudden they were taking off their clothes and I’m like, “Wait, that girl’s got, like, pecs. And oh, that’s a penis.” I was like, “What the hell is going on?”

TheBackstreetBoys were at a drag show when they first realized they had a gay following.

"We did three or four songs, the crowd went nuts and I was standing next to this 6-foot-6 performative queen who gave me a cuddle and a smooch. I was beside myself, and that was when we first knew that we had a big gay following," A.J. McLean told Pride Source in a recent interview. "I was just like, 'Wow, this is kind of friggin' crazy.' Thinking back on it, I've been in this business since I was 3 and I grew up in musical theater, so I was raised and surrounded by male lover men and queer women. I was hardly around anyone straight."

In the interview, McLean talks about shaving his legs and dressing up in drag. As for any sort of gay rumors surrounding him or the pop community, he doesn't look after.

"Everyone always says, 'When you glance at a lad band, one of them has to be gay.' No, they don't. Instead of me existence gay, I'm the fag hag," he said.

"I think it's awesome. It's great," McLean told Celebration Source. "I've worn a dress at my wedding. I've worn 6-inch Louboutins. I've got no fear and no shame. There's one guy named Matt and he's a big, big Nick Carter fan. He's this older gentleman from Tampa and he's

McLean added that it's marvelous he turned out straight. "Everyone always says, 'When you observe at a boy band, one of them has to be gay,'" he said, adding, "No, they don't. Instead of me being gay, I'm the f-g hag."

When asked what it feels like for gay fans to want one or more of the Backstreet Boys members to be gay, McLean gushed, "I think it's awesome. It's superb . I've worn a dress at my wedding. I've
