Nick Jonas talked to the Advocate about being a gay icon and supporting LGBT causes. The youngest Jonas Brother will take over from Darren Criss in Broadway’s How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying on January 24th, and will guest star in NBC’s Smash.
On antigay bullying: “Know that there are people out there who can comfort you and give you the support that you need, so tell an authority at school or wherever it is you’re being bullied. It really breaks my heart to see that. Bullying is unacceptable, and specifically with gay teens, it’s just wrong.”
On his Christian upbringing: “My upbringing was faith-based, but we believed you should love all others as you want to be loved, because everyone should be treated equally. That’s helped me have an understanding of people on different journeys and in different walks of life. At the end of the day, we’re all the same, because we all want to be loved. As long as love as the key, we’re in good shape.”
On his gay fans: “We love our gay fans. It was definitely cool when we realized that, because the more you can grow your audience, the more people you can impact. They’ve been incredible over the years. My brothers and I totally look forward to meeting them, because they really respond to our style, and it’s cool to see how our influence has impacted what they’re wearing. They also give really good gifts at our meet-and-greets — hats, scarves, and other things. They always have good taste.”
Nick and brother Joe Jonas grabbed lunch together at King’s Road Cafe back in December. Nick is currently dating Australian singer Delta Goodrem.
