Neon Trees is an indie alternative rock band that hails from Provo, Utah. Lead singer Tyler Glenn is making headlines with revealing his sexuality.
Glenn opened up to the new issue Rolling Stones by saying he is gay.
"I've always felt like I'm an open book, and yet obviously I haven't been completely," said Glenn.
Glenn went on to talk about his first gay experience, and how being open about his sexuality put strain on his conservative Mormon religion.
"I had my crushes on guys throughout high school, but it was never an overwhelming thing until my twenties," said Glenn. "Then I'd be dating girls and in love with my straight friend and it was the worst feeling in the world."
Glenn then talked about his religion’s view on homosexuality.
"We were always taught, and I hate this word, 'tolerance,” said Glenn. "The only time that felt different was when the Prop 8 thing came up."
Radio.com added that Neon Trees will start off their U.S. tour on May 12 in Nashville, Tennessee. Their tour dates can be found on their website.
