Taylor Lautner is NOT Gay, Despite a Fake People Magazine Cover
Many gay men were excited this morning and many tween girls were crying. However, after a few hours of confusion, it turns out that Taylor Lautner is NOT gay.
According to Reuters, last night, a fake People magazine cover featuring Lautner claiming that he is “Out & Proud” hit the web, the cover reading:
“Tired of rumors, the ‘Twilight’ star opens up about his decision to finally come out: ‘I’m more liberated, and happier than I’ve ever been.'”
Even some celebrities thought the cover was real, including hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, who tweeted:
“Proud of Taylor Lautner for his bravery and his courage.”
It was soon noticed that while the fake cover is dated “January 7, 2012,” its sidebar is recycled from a 2006 cover.
No word from Lautner about the incident. However, after finding out that the cover was a fake, Simmons tweeted,
“Disappointed that people would joke about someone coming out about their sexuality. Let Taylor Lautner be whoever he wants to be.”
SO WHAT IF HE WAS!!!
