YouTuber Phil Lester has come out as gay.
Weeks after his friend and fellow YouTuber Daniel Howell opened up about his sexuality, Lester posted a video onto his channel with the title: “Coming out to you.”
In the video, he says: “I’m gay! It’s great! I’m happy! And hopefully you’re happy for me too.“If not, I hope you have a think about why you want a fellow human to be unhappy.
“And not true to who they are. And of that is a healthy mindset to have.”
He talks about how he has known he was gay since he was about 12 and realised when he was relaxing on the beach and saw a ‘beautiful’ topless guy walking passed.
He then talks about how he started to feel ashamed of feeling like this todays another man due to the attitudes of the people around him.
