It’s surprising that Joe McElderry gets airplay in Indonesia given what happened to Nazril Irham, as Joe is someone who makes money out of promoting his homosexuality to young fans.

Joe – who was named as a “gay icon” for young people by the leading UK gay organisation Stonewall - uses the press to persuade people that being gay is just a lifestyle choice and one you can adopt for financial reasons:

(1) he FIRST pushed himself onto the front and two inner pages of The Sun in Dec 2009 to say he was HETEROSEXUAL (which was a LIE): http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/x_factor/2772272/Joe-McElderry-had-no-spark-with-Jordan.html

then (2) he got the front and two inner pages of The Sun again, in July 2010, to say he had just discovered he was GAY: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3076084/Joe-McElderry-admits-that-he-is-gay.html.

(in fact, another LIE, as he had an affair with another man a year before:

and recently (3) he got 2.5 full pages in glossy mag OK! to say that coming out was "helpful" for him:

The reason for all this lying by Joe was simple: it was to sell his music. First he pretended to be straight in December 2009, so he could build up a young female fanbase.

Then in July 2010 he decided to say he was gay, just before the publicity drive for his new album started, which meant he had a whole new range of gay fans to appeal to and more importantly, a whole new range of gay DJ’s and TV/radio presenters to use to promote his album.

Joe McElderry also, by the way, promotes excessive consumption of alcohol to his underage fans: here he is on holiday in the USA - promoting drinking (forbidden to U-21's in Colorado) to his young fans: http://yfrog.com/h24ecrj
