I am from Dublin too and I have never heard him or any of the social circle in Dublin admit that he is and I am in an industry where it is more than acceptable to be whatever orientation one chooses to be.
However, due to your post, which I might add was a tad aggressive,(why the shouting) I am happy to know from the horses mouth so to speak,. (Well as a personal friend of his family and Louis himself thats near enought for me) that he is indeed gay. Not that it matters in the slightest anyway, I dislike him for his barbed comments to contestants and his inflication of Boyzone and Westlife on the world.

Never did understand the reason for the themes, it just seems stupid to me and can never benefit the contestants.
Crazy.

They should have a Nolans week - see how they get on.  See who gets to sing the hit.

Ok.

I have never read anything where Louis Walsh said he was gay.  I don't think his Wiki page says he is gay.

That would be funny Fabienne.

I'm off to the Jungle now.

The Nolans only had one song didn't they?

Sorry never read anywhere that  louis is gay

Yeah, they'd have to fight for it.

Nor have I smarting. Never, ever

Perhaps you are all too young to have been reading the newspapers when Stephen Gately came out as being gay.

Louis was a wonderful support to Stephen at that time and throughout his career.

Only a matter of weeks before Stephen's tragic death, he stated in an interview about how helpful Louis was to him and mentioned, quite clearly, that the fact that Louis was, himself, gay, helped him enormously.

Louis has never been "in your face" about his sexuality - but has never denied it.

What publication did the late and sorely missed Stephen state that Louis was gay and a great help to him.? Honestly, hand on my heart I never saw or read that in any publication. It simply wasn't written (imo)

I loved Stephen, despite my dislike for Boyzone and was truly devastated when he passed away. I had the pleasure to meet him throught work and he was a little gentleman and a darling. RIP
Look Annoca, bottom line is, to my knowledge and many more forum members on here tonight,we have never, but never, ever seen any mention of Louis being gay.

Moreover I would hazard a guess that we never will.
Anyway lifes too short to be discussing Louis Walsh, gay or not.
Goodnight me dear, I wish you a pleasant evening, I'm popping over to the jungle.

NO need to be so condesending Fairfax.

I have five sons who are all in the entertainment business.  The members of Boyzone and Westlife are all personal, family friends.  If I had a penny for every time the lads were in my home, I would be a rich lady.

I could name many more "celebrities" who are close friends - but will refrain.

Just because you haven't seen anything written or viewed/heard any interviews, does NOT make it fact!!

Can you slip Kian my number..lol...

No one is being condesending ANNOCA. Its called politeness and manners. I was being nice to you.
Regrettably, it is something that you have not displayed this evening with your shouting and stating your opinions as facts.
Quite frankly I could care less about your celebrity friends or associated status. I take people as I find them irrespective of how 'famous they are' and certainly don't have to come on a forum and boast about it.  Not cool at all. But as the saying goes,different strokes for different folks. Perhaps because you are so close to Louis and his band members where his sexuality is obviously openly discussed you assume it has gone to print. It never has and never will...In My Opinion.

Listen to a Culchie girlies.  There's too few of us around here we need each other.

Up ya boya Tayto. You're not wrong there but if someone starts something contentious and put opinions out there, they have to be prepared to be answered back. Anyhoo can't believe I'm getting into one over Louis Walsh.....dear God I need to get out more

  Don't get me involved.  I'm a Mayo woman.  I agree everyone has the right to reply but I didn't like seeing my homies (no pun intended) having words.

By the way.  I always knew Louis was gay - don't know how.
Now group hug please. 

Right back at you Mrs.

I don't know whether Louis is gay or not, but it grates on my last nerve, when people name drop and have to tell people that they know loads of famous people.  IMO name dropping is so vulgar.  (That is one thing that pisses me off about George Hamilton, along with the yawnworthy and nauseous 'gigilo' act.)  Name dropping is as bad as bragging about how rich you are or how much certain things cost.  Vomitisation!  It's like you're trying to make other peope jealous, when in actual fact, most people couldn't give a sh*t how much you have spent, how much you earn or who you know.  Why do people feel the need to tell?  Or brag about how much they spent on something they bought to wear or whatever?


My other half has a female cousin aged 55, who claims she has met lords and sheikhs, and royalty and all sorts, and she claims that she knews rock stars from the 60s and 70s like the Beatles, and Cilla Black and Elvis, yet I haven't seen one shred of proof whatsover to back up anything she said.  Not ONE photo or anything.  I have met a few celebs at conventions and openings of things, (like many have,) although I know no-one personally, and I have photos of everyone I saw.  (Some with me on the photo too...)


I once worked with a woman when I lived down south, who was one of the most pleasant women I ever knew and was so down to earth and ordinary.  3 months after she left our workplace, I found out she was married to George Michael's cousin!  Yet she never ever mentioned it at the time.  If you've got it, it's not always cool to flaunt it, and you can come across as very crass and vulgar.  And in the vast majority of cases, people are usually exaggerating or lying.  Especially on the internet LOL.

Dont't know where I read it or how I know it but .....................Lois Walsh is gay ........just becauses he doesn't swing from the roof tops proclaiming his sexuality and simply because it's not on Wikipedia doesn't make it untrue.


As I say - dont know where I read/heard it but .....................it's true.

 And i was Mollie Sugdens bridesmaid ...........but I never talk about it.

Not that I want to get dragged into a debate but I always thought Louis Walsh was gay - but just like you Soozy I'm not sure how I know

Wikie is the last place I'd go to for true  facts,anyone can edit it.

noticed Stacey slipping in and out if her 'ditsy' act

i thought Joe was fab tonight but this whole 'gwan my son' from Mrs Cole mkes me cringe so much

I just heard some juicy gossip on f/b probably aint true bout Danyl whooooerrr

 

Spill the beans Shizzlex...don't leave us in suspense.

cant its a gay rumour i might get linched ohh what the hell apparently a certain 'teacher' slept with a certain blonde haired 16 yr old and it got found out and a certain Mr C has paid the papers off cause he doesn't want it coming out it was on someones f/b status and quite a few peeps said they already knew?oh and i couldnt care less about wether Danyl Louis or whoever is gay this is just what i saw on f/b

Danyl Johnson was the love of my life but he dumped me for.. a man

EXCLUSIVE by Allison Smith-Squire 29/11/2009

Katie dated Danyl for six months and says - although the pair would kiss often - her doubts over his sexuality arose when he never ‘tried it on’ with her

Oh my!

I'm not surprised. 

I don't suppose you know Elijah Wood?

*hopeful face*

My gaydar goes off like a geiger counter when I see him.  Mind you, I've been quite spectacularly wrong before. 

Oh the Danyl and Lloyd rumour... so not true.


Louis Walsh is gay, i've known that for ages, good for him.




Seen the second bit at my aunties. Lloyd was ok still awful but better than last week, Danyl i'm bias but I thought he was great, Olly was better, loved Saturday but I don't like the drunken uncle/dad dancing. Stacey disappointment but she has the voice but we was getting seriously peed off when she speaks it's like Lauren Cooper. Joe was brilliant as always he made me smile. Lots of emotion in his second song he will be a deserving winner better than Strolly lol.

Melvin Bragg winked at me once![the thinking womens crumpet!]

I love the gay stories thing.  It's so PR agent, trying to keep the target audiences interested.  If you can hint that some hot totty might be gay then it's really inclusive. 

JLS and John and Edward on T4 Stars of 2009 later, i'm more excited about that than the results show.

I still laugh at that Queen night and J+E's performance.  Genius. 

If you look closely, every now and again one of them pushes the other one for no reason at all.  It's like they have a compulsion even when they're on stage.

DJ I suppose you want the link of their appearance at GAY nightclub.

Do you have it?

Here's the Queen one again.  The right hand one even trips up as he bursts through paper screen!  I love their dancing too.  No, really!  They look great in those suits and the sort of bouncing the one on the right does is pretty cool really.
