Tyler Glenn
The Neon Trees lead singer has been a Mormon his whole life — keeping his gayness a secret since his childhood. Glenn came out back in March in an issue of Rolling Stone. “I had my crushes on guys throughout high school, but it was never an overwhelming thing until my twenties,” he admitted. “Then I’d be dating girls and in love with my straight friend and it was the worst feeling in the world.” He added, “we were always taught, and I hate this word, ‘tolerance,'” he said, regarding his church’s stance on homosexuality. “The only time that felt different was when the Prop 8 thing came up.”
