For a while now the almost 25 year old (Happy early Birthday Zac!), High School Musical star has been besieged by gay rumors. Is he? Is he not?

Whatever the case, Zac Efron is completely fine with all the rumors, even making this statement during an interview with the LGBT magazine The Advocate, “I don’t like to live in fear about things like rumors and backlash to begin with — that’s the way I was raised — but I just can’t see what’s so wrong about being gay.” Very, very nicely put Zac.

Whether he is or he isn’t, the star, who’s new movie The Paperboy is set to debut later on this fall, has built up a huge fan base within the gay community, and don’t think he’s not grateful. Efron had this to say about one section of his fan base, “I’ve always felt embraced by the gay community, and I feel incredibly grateful and honored.”

And, who wouldn’t feel fabulous knowing they are so admired? Not only is Mr. Efron OK with people thinking he’s gay, he’s a supporter of gay marriage, stating simply, and in a way that makes you truly respect the young star more, this about how he feels for his own gay friends and the gay community, “I just want them all to be happy. It would make me so happy to see them able to live their lives and do what they want to do.”

While Zac, who has been linked to Hollywood beauties such as Vanessa Hudgens and Lily Collins, never truly denies or confirms the rumors, we don’t care.

You truly are fabulous Zac Efron. Period.

Maybe if people like him wrote speeches for politicians, we’d all be more inclined to listen.

Zac also had this to say to The Advocate’s Brandon Voss, about the possibility of playing a gay role someday, “There’s no doubt in my mind that one of those characters will be gay at some point in the future. “I’m extremely aware of the support I’ve gotten from you guys over the years, and it’s amazing that it’s taken this long to sit down and actually discuss it, but please know that it hasn’t gone unappreciated.”

Even if the gay community wasn’t aware that he was aware, they are now … and it may be that he will gain an even bigger fan base after showing what a truly nice and down to earth guy he really is.
