Sam Smith on Coming Out of the Closet

[@Heidaaaa]

"People say to me 'He doesn't wanna be a spokesperson for the gay community' and it's like, I DO, of course I do, but I wanna be a spokesperson for EVERYONE; straight people, gay people, bisexual, anything you know. I don't want it to be limited." He has my total respect.

you know what really pisses me off people who use gay as an insult

[@darcyr.7912]

THANK YOU! Ugh I hate that! Like gay means freedom/happy. It can also be used as in the way two people of the same gender like each other as more than friends.

[@maddimarina]

I feel the same way! This kid in my school uses gay all the time and it pisses me off. He told me that gay can have the definition of lame.

Yeah, Me too. Lots of kids on my bus use it like that and it annoys me.. -_-

Why are there so many people leaving negative comments? He is a such a sweet and genuine person with so much talent. Why are people SO focused on his appearance, his weight, his voice, sexual orientation etc. Heres a tip, he's HUMAN so maybe treat him with some respect.

[@Fenomenoe9]

nahhh

[@grainnedrumgoole7187]

In the words of another popular artist and the haters gonna hate hate hate

[@QuesadaAndy02]

Sweet heart, it's the internet. Have you lived in the real world? Doesn't matter how genuine and real the person in question is, there will always be criticism. Whether it be about their physical appearance, their sexual orientation, or etc. How are you surprised at this point? Have you ever read a tabloid or talked about rumors? This is the real world. I'm honestly tired of these types of comments. It's like a humble brag. You're not beneath all of this, nobody is. I'm sure you've judged someone in your life before and talked about it with someone else. This is the modern era where you can voice your opinion to the entire world on the internet. Now stop with the white-knight bullshit, or get used to it.

[@carmencita512]

Great comment, Monica. I wish there were more kind-hearted people like you out there.

[@MonicaEmeline]

Andy Quesada "Sweetheart" YOU need to understand that just because criticism of others is the "norm" does NOT make it right. That is like saying people are allowed to bully others in school because you see it in the media or in movies, so you're allowed to do it. That does NOT make it okay! I wrote this comment because I did not appreciate the amount of people sitting behind their computers calling him fat and disgusting. Sue me for that! I do not care for many many people and celebrities, and I may talk about it with my friends, but posting it to hurt others or where they may see it? Fuck no. That's completely different. Get off my post.

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

I want a world where it no longer has to be a brave thing to come out.

[@zbbaskin]

FunnyGuyTimmy wouldn't i be funny if the world ended up having it where coming out as strait was brave? I personally think so (I have a dark sense of humor).

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

I cant read lol

[@greysweetpotato1771]

FunnyGuyTimmy I want a world where coming out isn't even a thing... It would be just as normal for a son to say to his mom "I want to bring my boyfriend over to meet you" just as it would be with "I want you to meet my girlfriend" and that is all.

[@Lavono]

[@ramy9450]

[@HarrisonBowman]

That's a shame, that it makes you feel weird.

[@9870tyler]

..... the song is about a straight man.

[@demibeans]

The great thing about music is that it is subjective to people. The great thing about Sam Smith's music is that he never actually mentions a "he" or "she". You can project whatever gender you wish is appropriate for the situation being described in his songs. It is a shame that it makes you feel weird, but that's ok. If it makes you uncomfortable, just give it a meaning of your own. That's what music is for as well.

[@ivanovtome]

Sorry but what you mean by that ,,a love song that's made by a gay man about another gay man" I mean as I know he is gay but wrote songs about a straight man he fell in love with.

Gay or straight. His voice is amazing and his music is genius. If you arent a fan anymore because of his sexuality, I feel so sorry for you. Doesnt matter how you were raised, you are your own person with your own sense of judgement. Im not gay but I dont give a two shits if the next person is. If you can hate someone for a preference on what their sexual orientation is, I pity you. This video shows two gay people. Two gay and VERY successful people. Sam Smith seems like a genuine, nice guy and Ellen is the fucking shit. Its so sad that in 2014, people still insult homosexuality. Live and let live.

I'm not saying this in a negative way, just from a "the human anatomy is very fascinating" sort of way.

It is so humble of him because he is basically saying that he is not comfortable with the idea of being a spokesperson for anyone or any group because being gay is not the only thing which defines him as a human being (of course it is one of them and I am not trying to minimise that in any way). We are complex, layered, wonderful creatures and I LOVE someone who has all that fame and no ego at the same time. Amazing singer/songwriter/performer/HUMAN BEING!!!

[@jescilla]

he's so soft-spoken and sweet and down to earth!

[@iluvuknow]

He's amazing. His voice and personality everything about him is amazing ♡♡ love him and his songs so much.

[@elizabethroy4136]

I don't know if it's just me but I can't be the only one who thinks his voice sounds so kind and soft when he speaks

[@SalvableRuin]

I don't know if it's just me, but you sound like an idiot.

[@adhdgamer5313]

He is an absolutely wonderful person. Hes not one of those singers thats a douche but sings good. GO SAM SMITH!!!!

[@AishaTrottie]

wow i had no idea he is only 22 , so young i thought he was like 26 but guess not , i love this guy he can really sing , beautiful voice

[@caseywilliams3296]

Gay or straight doesn't matter, his voice is perfection and it is nice to see how humble and amazing he is in person as well :)

[@MeeGleek]

He just has the nicest aura about him. He is always sweet, calm, polite and overalls a good human being. He is around my age it's crazy, I wish I could "get on his level". A great inspiration and it's even better that he is just wing himself. Love him, love his voice, love his talent!

[@___.209]

.... *Patiently awaits the day Ellen invites Hannah Hart to her show* Its bound to happen eventually.

[@jacobmatton7588]

What a kind and gentle soul :)

[@asaptransport8136]

Listening to Sam... you can just tell how genuine and caring a person he is. He seems like he has an absolutely golden soul.

[@jlopeeezy]

I love Sam so much he has an amazing voice when he's singing and when he just talks. He seems like such a genuinely nice person.

[@Happy0222]

I just started listening to him. He is Freaking SWEETEST & CUTEST ADORABLE thing ever !!! I just wanna give him a Big Warm hug!

[@PinkPawsTV]

Ahhhh he's such a sweet honest person yet amazingly talented! Just perfect 👌

[@rjcookie22]

He's just such a sweet man. I love him.

[@caitlinlaing694]

what a glow up

[@danielbijan]

Hi Ellen, I love your show, my son watches all your talented kids segments. Hopefully a few people can see this. My 6 year old son sings, plays drums, keyboards, guitar and bass. He did a cute cover of U2's "with or without you". It would totally make his day if a few people could check it out.

[@FearlessKurt]

Gay or not, I bought his album after the AMAs. When he was performing, I watched him with total amazement and I said, "that's how you perform!"

[@Aaron-ft2rt]

daniel lara(damn daniel)- lifetime supply of vans alex lee(alex from target)- customized ellen tee and ipad Sam smith- that

[@fcggames3990]

ikr that pisses me off Sam Smith deserves much more

[@NexSicarius]

While it's true that he really deserved way better, I guess she might have thought that there's nothing she could have given him that he couldn't get for himself (being crazy successful and whatnot).

[@GabrielaRodB]

I dont really care if hes gay or straight or what ever he identifies himself, I really Love how humble and sweet and amazingly talented he is. His sexuality doesnt change the fact that I deeply LOVE his music and ITLH is for Sure my favorite Album of all times. I Love you Sam :)

[@elizabethm.9090]

Imagine if Adele and him made a song together 😍

[@HeyJhaay]

A trio with Gaga, Adele, and Sam would be perfect!

[@thisisntmiag]

Right until I seen the last comment it ruined the whole thing for me .-.

[@chaule2011]

does he speak British English?

[@bravesouzi9540]

he is british loool

[@arsenalmanic]

+Heo lê ENGLISH is from ENGLAND , and he's speaking English

[@RandomChocolate008]

+arsenalmanic Americans speak English too... It's called American English ya know

[@arsenalmanic]

***** there is no such thing.

[@ThomasM936]

+RandomChocolate008 But it's not a language, just a shite parody. And it's not "British English" because that includes Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. They teach it differently in every country in the UK. English is what we speak, not British English.

[@ShivAndrews]

I'm so happy to see that there is such a delightful young man behind the talent and magnificent voice. Sam Smith is lovely, he seems so genuine.

[@gerbelle90]

Man he looks adorable when he smiles! :) I was a bit scared at first to actually look for an interview because sometimes that destroys a good first impression I got through music, but in his case, it made me like him even more!

[@julianef9878]

The best version of Sam Smith.

[@NatachaThuesen]

He's such a wonderful person.

[@tropicalb3423]

I don't care if gay or not it matter if you can do something for you life

[@Panda701232]

Why are people hating on him in the comment section. If God hated gay people he could have created them a different way since God makes no mistakes. I don't see anything wrong with being gay. It's about if you're happy with the person you love. Not which gender you have to love. All you homophobic people, why are you here if you hate gay people? If you don't like it then don't pay attention to it gosh

[@CherryColaJones]

Amazing response

[@jordyshore258]

Shut up!

[@diegoanieves22]

His voice is what God falls asleep to

[@richalderson6069]

He was a cute guy before he started believing he was something other than a male.

[@kdeggraham895]

@Ozzy the Bun yes!

[@JaRonMarshall]

I will regret saying this.. But first of all I am a Christian, and I love Sam Smith! Regardless of his sexual orientation.. But Ellen talked about the gay community as well as everyone, being represented equally.. But wouldn't you agree that us Christians don't get to be represented? Its like we got pushed out the limelight, we are being bullied now, we are discriminated against.. I swear that we are.. I bet at least one person will comment hurtful things about my beliefs, or call me ignorant.. But that isn't fair.. I'm just saying, you think you are special for not being homophobic, but you have your own things that you discriminate against, just as harshly..

[@movielover6840]

I love you right now.

[@doctorwhofan2563]

No one is discriminating against Christians. You're the majority.

[@lstarsabb]

You're right not all Christians are judgemental just like not all black people are loud and ignorant, all Asians are smart. Unfortunately America is big on trying to push everyone into boxes. A group is represented by the people that speak the loudest and fo Christians it the hypocritical ones that speak for Christians. I'm a Christian too and i have my flaws. I don't hate gay people, but i judge people that don't respect someone because they think they are better then someone whether it's because of their religion, sex, sexuality, color, job, etc. Christians have their flaws just like everyone else; we are all human. But a true Christians doesn't show hate to someone because that undermines everything God stands for. God might not like the choices you make, but he still loves you. So America shouldn't let a few ignorant people that claim to be Christian's represent all Christians.

[@HitomiAyumu]

jro marshall That's probably because Christians bully everyone around them. The resentment doesn't come from nowhere.

[@RustyShackleford1066]

For fucks's sake y'all are a fucking super majorty.

[@WeL0VEPudding]

When I heard "sam smith's gay." I was like "yeah, ok. what's the matter?" so I hope someday everybody thinks that way.

[@sapphael.]

I feel like I'm the UK (maybe just the south idk) we are known for how polite Brits apparently are and we really do just have those who react to homosexuality positively or dismissively. Like if you're homophobic you don't make a huge deal you just say "oh okay" and move on.

[@MrGyftario]

Most of the times,our parends know we are gay,before we do

[@ChipChocolatePR]

4 years old lmao okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk haha is crazy how people got to lie like that.

[@JK_2998]

Probably, you cant just transform into a gay dude in your 20's, you are pretty much gay from birth

[@ChipChocolatePR]

Flying Spectacles Noo sorry not proven yet. Theirs study's for it but is still not fact yet. Stop saying stuff that you clearly dont know for a fact.

[@ChipChocolatePR]

NERAZ MOKTAN Im not hating im just stating the facts. is not proven yet. You should actually do your own research. When is proven then ill say that gay people are born gay. Simple as that.

[@monster26206]

ChipChocolatePR oh shut the fuck up i'm so sick and tired of straight people telling us that we "chose" to be gay or it's something that just randomly developed. I remember liking boys since i was FOUR years old i even got made fun of because i used to have a feminine voice. And yes there is evidence out that shows that in fact people are born gay and it has to do with epigenetics and hormones and other factors that happen in the womb, and also homosexuality has been documented in over 450 species so far while homophobia has only been found in one.

[@ChipChocolatePR]

monster26206 Like i said is not proven is not a fact yet so im not going to believe in something blindly.

[@FollowdeRainbow]

i am a hetero and I'm sure it is not a phase (sounds weird isn't it).. A sexuality is NOT a phase... same like others.. why labelling? these people fell in love too the same way like we hetero are.. just not with the same gender... So, stop using labels... these ppl are human too

[@Scyrixus]

I see him as a whole new person after listening to this interview.

[@dstone3180]

Does his homosexuality cause any damage to your own life? No. Whoever Sam loves and goes to sleep with at night is his own business, just like everyone else on here who, regardless of sexual orientation, should have the same human right.

[@angelabez336]

Great comment!

[@juliavilla8088]

It doesn't not matter who you Love or how you Love all that matter is that you Love =)

[@SalvableRuin]

So you think pedophilia and bestiality are okay? Good to know. Now fuck off, freak.

[@donnagonzalez7571]

love is love if he is gay good for him love is love

[@nemanjapantic7468]

Like we didnt notice, he is gay from Mars bro..

[@asianassassin7227]

I'm a heterosexual Christian, but Sam Smith has recently become my favorite singer. Honestly, what's so wrong about being gay? Even in the Bible, it never explicitly said that men being with other men is bad, it just says that men should be with women. Don't understand why gay people are so discriminated against...

[@christinaguild9111]

i just need to say this Its about the music nothing else when i saw this then read all the comments it hurts that people cant just be happy for him and be happy that such a wonderful brave person came out with amazing songs hes not fat yes he's gay but his music is great like everyone says "IF YOU DONT HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP"

[@JohnsBrownEyes]

gosh i admire him and his talent so much!
