Yes, he is gay. He mentions it many times that he is gay. He also mention that he fights addiction from crystal meth, he attributes things he did on the drug that lead to him getting hep C and HIV.
To say I was shocked about all this is an understatement. I have followed Mat's career for a while now and I never knew any of this. I'm having trouble connecting the Mat I've seen in the media to the real Mat on this FB page.
Not that I think any less of him. He's pleasant to everyone and still a nice, caring person. I just don't want anything bad to happen to him. I don't want him to be sick or die. And hearing all this information about him at once was really frighting. He is braving through it though, begun the healing process it seems and he's said that he doesn't even smoke anymore either. He's a strong guy and the important thing is that all his fans support him and not judge him for what's he's done.
He is def. one of the best male models in the world, and I hope he stays clean and leads a long and happy life. Whether it be modeling or whatever else he chooses to do. He's been through a lot (you can read more about it on his page, they are public posts) and he deserves to be happy. We all take different paths to get there and some people's roads to it are way harder than others.
