YouTube star Mikey Bustos bravely admits and introduces boyfriend to public.
MIKEY BUSTOS – The Filipino comedian Mikey Bustos just came out over the weekend as he introduced his “King” and his boyfriend RJ Garcia.
The Filipino comedian Mikey Bustos first came to fame because of his funny parodies on his YouTube channel. He appeared in Canadian Idol and actually owns the “AntsCanada” which is an online shop that specializes in ant-keeping.
And now, in an unexpected chance over the weekend, he decided to come out as the former “Canadian Idol” finalist also introduced his boyfriend RJ Garcia who happens to be his manager.
In a post, he expressed after receiving so much messages of support and love following his coming out, “Figuring out how to navigate life in the most authentic and positive way has been such a long +37 yr journey for me, and at this moment, I feel I’ve reached some kind of karmic jackpot! It’s 2019 (as my dad put it when I came out to him a few weeks ago), and a great time to be alive LGBT.”
He also shared some photos of the guy who captured his heart with a brief caption indicating, “My King”.
On Twitter, upon coming out, Bustos shared the struggles he had being inside the closet for many years. He said, “For those of you who follow my original music, the songs might have a different context now. To help me cope, I wrote so many songs about being bisexual/gay/closeted in my two albums, e.g. ‘If It Feels Good Then We Should,’ ‘Secret Affair,’ ‘Suspended,’ ‘Every Time My Heart Beats’.”
He continued: “I was so looking forward to the day I could explain what those songs were really about, and hoped it would help someone who was in the same position as myself at the time.”
