3. Michael Angelakos
Michael Angelakos is the lead singer of the indie band Passion Pit. Upon its release, his band’s second album, Gossamer, placed in the top ten of the Billboard 200. Like many gay men, Angelakos once tried to hide his sexuality and was even married to a woman for a brief period of time. Shortly after his divorce, he revealed in an interview with author Bret Easton Ellis that he is gay. He said in the interview that while he was married he wanted to believe that he was straight but he ultimately couldn’t deny the truth, and he attributed his inability to come to terms with his sexuality as a source of self-hate. Hopefully his coming out will help him become a happier person.
