LGBTQ: “We been knew he’s gay” – Black Americans react to Tevin Campbell recently opening up about his sexuality and his life and career while making major hits in the music industry

Tevin Campbell recently opened up about his sexuality and his life and career while making major hits in the music industry.

Widely known for his ‘90s hits “Can We Talk” Campbell told PEOPLE that he didn’t “hide anything” about himself all those years ago. “I didn’t try to act a certain way or anything.” Also adding that, “you just couldn’t be [gay] back then.”

“When I came out to my family and friends [at] about 19 or 20, that was it for me. And then I went on the road of discovering myself. I didn’t know who I was,” Campbell shared.
