— E! Online (@eonline) June 11, 2015- E! quotes Jonas as telling Out magazine in 2012: “My thoughts on gay marriage are that everyone has the right to love and be loved, and that’s the position I take. My upbringing was faith-based, but [the Jonas Brothers and I] believed you should love all others as you want to be loved, because everyone should be treated equally."
- E! continues, "Jonas’ fanbase grew in 2014 after a series of shirtless photo shoots, gay club appearances and more. “I don’t know if I’d necessarily call myself a gay icon,” the “Jealous” singer told Rolling Stone. “But my goal in the last year was to expand and grow as a person and an artist, and embracing my gay fans was a priority. Some of my gay friends have thanked me for that, and that’s a really good feeling.”"
