Did Joe Jonas Out Himself?

In the new issue of InStyle magazine, middle Jonas brother, Joe listed steamy hot 007 actor Daniel Craig as his "Celebrity Crush." Can't really blame him; Daniel Craig is a regulation hottie. So, you decide for yourself. Do we have a Code Pink Alert: A Jonas Out of the Closet, or is it a "celebrity crush" the same way Katy Perry kissed a girl last year, without really doing it? (Or apparently, without really liking it, according to what she told Chelsea Handler.) Regardless if it is a romance or a bromance, the soaking wet, bedroom eyed pics in InStyle this week are a far cry from the wholesome image the Jonas Brothers have made millions on. But, I suppose it happens to all Disney creations eventually... just ask Britney, Christina, Justin, and Miley. "The mouse made me do it, I swear!" If you ask me, Joe is the hottest Jonas, too (and 19 now, so I can say that...) I'd love to see one of them come out of the closet, and really own it. The rumors that there is a gay Jonas are rampant, of course. I'd imagine most of them are simply fueled by the sexual fantasies of gay men all over the Internet, but at least one of them is pretty specific that it is either Kevin or Joe, and that whichever one it is, he is (or was) involved with an older man from their hometown of Wyckoff, New Jersey. Hm.... older man.... Joe has a crush on Daniel Craig... who is 22 years old than him. No, I do not think the "older man" is Daniel Craig, but I do think of you put 2 and 2 together, it should be obvious that Joe Jonas likes him some silver fox.

Usually I don't lower myself to this kind of scandal reporting. But I think it's important for gay celebrities to come out. I'm also not a fan of outing anyone, but saying you have a crush on Daniel Craig in InStyle magazine while making come-to-papa eyes for the camera pretty much takes care of that little detail. Either that, or the Jonas Brothers know who their most loyal fan base is (gay men with a boner for barely legal boys) and want to capitalize. But, I think it's more than that or I wouldn't be wasting my time writing about it. I don't even like the Jonas Brothers -- save admitting that I do think Joe and Nick are both pretty hot. But, we've had enough of the Ryan Seacrests, whose sexuality is the worst-kept secret in Hollywood, and the Anderson Coopers, who will neither confirm nor deny their sexualities (in spite of being on the cover of the Advocate, and named one of the "Most Powerful" queers in entertainment by Out magazine.) In fairness to Anderson Cooper, who actually seems perfectly OK with his sexuality, there is a fairly well substantiated rumor that it was CNN who informed him it could "harm his ratings" if he was "too out."

In conclusion, let me say: Joe Jonas, if you are gay, please be gay. If you're not, don't be. But if you are, don't mess with what is already an uphill battle for the GLBT community by staying in the closet, or by being "maybe gay." Sad but true, one outspoken Gay Jonas is worth a hundred everyday activists.
