People Mag’s Closeted Conundrum
A blind item in Billy Masters’ Filth2go.com column asks, “A couple of years ago, gay singer Matt Zarley was included on the [People magazine] Eligible Bachelors list. But he was NOT the magazine’s first choice. Another singer was profiled and photographed. Then someone from the mag called the songbird to ask how he felt being the first openly gay person to make the list. All hell broke loose – the chanteuse was NOT openly gay and had no plans to come out (he still hasn’t, by the by). The editors at People were frantic, until someone came up with Zarley at the last minute, and the rest is history.”

I actually know Matt Zarley very well. He was not a “last minute thing”. He was confirmed for the “Eligible Bachelor” issue for months before it happened. There may have been a singer who freaked, but Matt was onboard for a long time for the issue.
