Gay backstreet boy
TheBackstreetBoys were at a flamboyant 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 drag queen who gave me a hug and a kiss. I was beside myself, and that was when we first knew that we had a big gay following," A.J. McLean told Event 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 same-sex attracted men and gay 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 collective, he doesn't care.
"Everyone always says, 'When you look at a male child band, one of them has to be gay.' No, they don't. Instead of me being lgbtq+, I'm the fag hag," he said.
"I think it's awesome. It's great," McLean told Pride 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
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 lgbtq+ following:
We did a show years ago in Ybor Capital in Tampa and Divine Brown — the girl who messed around with Hugh Grant assist in the evening (laughs) — was hosting a performative show. We actually had no notion. 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?”
We did three or four songs, the crowd went nuts and I was standing next to this 6-foot-6 drag queen who gave me a hug and a kiss. I was beside myself, and that was when we first knew that we had a big male lover following. I wa

Backstreet Boys' A.J. McLean Talks Dressing in Drag, Admits to Being a "F-g Hag"
Backstreet Boys singer A.J. McLean is really opening up in a new interview with LGBT site Pride Source.
The 35-year-old boy bander is sounding off on everything from homosexual marriage, the band's gay fan build, dressing in drag (remember that 2012 photo shoot?) and why he's dubbed himself the self-proclaimed "f-g hag" of the group!
"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 gay men and gay women," McLean said. "I was hardly around anyone straight."
McLean added that it's amazing he turned out linear. "Everyone always says, 'When you stare at a young man band, one of them has to be gay,'" he said, adding, "No, they don't. Instead of me organism gay, I'm the f-g hag."
When asked what it feels like for queer fans to long for one or more of the Backstreet Boys members to be gay, McLean gushed, "I consider it's awesome. It's great. I've worn a dress at my wedding. I've
