Courage My Love drummer comes out as gay

Phoenix Arn-Horn, the drummer/vocalist of Courage My Love, has publicly come out as a gay.

The drummer for the Canadian pop-punk trio, Arn-Horn made the announcement through the band's social media, which you can read below.

"Turns out I'm gay. 

I've known since I was 14 and my parents knew since even before then. Don't be scared to be yourself. 

People have told me not to post about it because it might "hold me back," but I'm proud of who I am and the beautiful girls I've dated.

People have even told me not to post about it because it could "limit our fan base." Honestly, I don't write music for those people.

I write music because it's the only way I can exorcise certain parts of myself. I write music for people with the same demons as me.

I know there are people out there going through things that need some form of release. People like me. THAT's who I write music for.

If someone listens to a song I've written and it helps them in some small way, then I've done what I set out to do. And I'll try not to listen to the people that bring my sexuality into the equation, because that's not what this is about. My sexuality has nothing to do with it. 

*mic drop* ...sorry for spamming your Facebook feeds".

The band released their latest EP, 'Spirit Animal' - their fourth to date - earlier this year.
