TJ Osborne Opens Up To Ellen

Brothers Osborne’s TJ Osborne appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday, February 4th to talk about his decision to come out as gay via a Time magazine article.

He told the talk show host that he wished he hadn’t waited so long saying,

“I kinda got to this point to where I knew there was really never going to be the perfect time, and that honestly, now that I’m kinda behind it now with the coming out, it’s wild to me that the perfect time is always now. I instantaneously felt that I wish I had done this a long time ago.”

TJ said that he has felt nothing but love since the announcement, but he’s still anxious to see how he’ll be received in rural America.

“I think there are some people out there … there’s a lot of hurdles, clearly, with people that don’t like gay people, and it’s just a thing. But in some respects, I do feel like maybe through my insecurities, I’ve built it up to maybe be a bigger hurdle than it was the whole time.”
