Gareth Malone: Deffo Not Gay

'TV choirmaster Gareth Malone has branded rumours that he is gay “juvenile”.
The Military Wives star, 37, who is married and has a daughter, said he was almost used to the assumptions about his sexuality.
'He said: “It was disappointing to find after leaving that behind at the age of 15, then coming into television and discovering, ‘Oh right, everyone is just as juvenile as the kids at school were.’
“I am fairly flamboyant and expressive but I know plenty of gay people who are ­incredibly repressed and aren’t showy and don’t like Judy Garland, you know?
“I don’t know what it is but I’ve sort of got used to it.”
'Malone told the Radio Times he had often heard comments such as “It’s a bit gay” and “Singing makes you gay!” from men who were reluctant to join choirs.
'His Military Wives choir will be perform at the Diamond Jubilee concert on Monday in The Mall'

Daily Mirror. 
Cause being gay means you like Judy Garland and not cock.
I hope that clears things up.

Gareth Malone: Choir As Folk

A Most Unlikely Pin-Up: No, he ISN'T gay. In fact, Gareth Malone says being in a choir makes you catnip for ladies

Feature headline in The Daily Mail.

"He went to an all-boys, state-run grammar school in Bournemouth, where it was assumed he was gay because he was ‘heading off to do music when the alpha males were on the rugby pitch’. J
oining the choir was ‘tantamount to shouting it from the rooftops’.
"But he isn’t gay, and is bemused — as is his wife Becky, an English teacher — by the fact he has such a strong gay following on Twitter.
"‘Camp? I don’t think I am,’ he says, before adding: ‘Well, maybe a little. "Whatever, I get messages which suggest people think they are going to be able to “turn” me, which I find bizarre.
"‘I love women. I have always loved women. The irony was that being in the choir when I was a teenager was a surefire way of meeting them.’"

So that's alright then...
