Aaron Carter Says He Knew He Was Bisexual at Age 12

After coming out as bisexual on Twitter over the weekend, it was revealed that the singer and girlfriend Madison Parker broke up right before the announcement.

Aaron Carter is adamant that whether he dates a man or a woman, it is his own decision.

After learning his ex-girlfriend Madison Parker didn't understand his sexuality, they made a decision to part ways.

And while Parker doesn't seem to fully understand her ex's sexuality, Carter has received an outpouring of support from fans and the LGBTQ community.

Towards the end of the clip, the 29-year-old gives a shout-out to The Doctors for "being by my side and helping me with everything".

"There were years that went by that I thought about it, but it wasn't until I was 17 years old, after a few relationships with girls, I had an experience with a male I had an attraction to who I also worked with and grew up with". "It was something that I felt was important and that I needed to say".

In an interview airing on The Bert Show on Wednesday, August 9, Carter, 29, said that he knew he was bisexual at the age of 12 or 13 but explained why he made a decision to go public with a Twitter post on Saturday, August 5. "It was a part of a new chapter of turning 30, on December 7 this year".

E! News reports that Carter called into The Bert Show on Wednesday morning to discuss the reveal and got emotional when talking about its impact on his breakup with Parker.

"The process is at your own pace and is when you feel comfortable", he continued.

Acknowledging that there may be people who "don't agree" with his statement about his sexual orientation, "I find men and women attractive and that's never gonna change". "My fans know that I'm a heart on my sleeve kinda guy".

Currently, the younger brother of Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter is a "single man".

"I'm just taking it one minute, and one day, and one comment at a time", Carter told hosts Bert Weiss and Kristin Klingshirn.
