Plus one to Kyle. I still don’t understand why the guy’s doing it, though. Is this a younger-generation thing? Fame at any cost via Youtube?

Regardless if he’s gay or straight – it’s a creepy request. So what this is saying is that if I make a youtube video begging a celebrity to a social function with me they should oblige? And if said celebrity doesn’t acknowledge it, maybe the media will pick up on it in an effort to slander the celebrity or portray them as less than human? This is not fair. I’m not a celebrity and even I wouldn’t respond back or pay mind to it…especially if I don’t know the guy.

Let me guess, if Bieber doesn’t take him to prom he’ll be labeled as another homophobe. This is disrespectful to Bieber (to whom I have very little respect for, anyways).

You creepers are picking on a teen and you think he’s the one with problems? Wow.

@Meowzer: – Your comment made me go back to watch the whole video to see how Leon said the comment “No, I’m not gay.” It didn’t sound as if Leon was making a derogatory statement, merely being explicit about his orientation. Leon probably was just recognizing the probability that he would garner comments from his peers, especially if the Biebs accepted and brought the intense spotlight of media to this event.
But, think about how cool this is, then: here’s Leon being completely open and honest about being a Bieber fan, and dismissing the machismo stereotypical attitude so prevalent in American society, and publicly inviting another guy? I think Leon needs to be applauded for doing this. Maybe our cause as a community wouldn’t be so difficult if more guys had this type of attitude and self-assurance.

Please. Im already so tired of this.
(I know how fucked up this is going to sound)
We all just need to make him come out. In this case, he really is just begging for it anyway, (to come out, not a 9″ uc, you pervs.. although the latter most certainly applies as well).

I think it’s kind of funny and cool. And I don’t know if he’s gay or not but if he is, at his age, I don’t care if he doesn’t want to admit it. And, yes, it’s probably a little bit of a YouTube fame-seeking thing, but……so what? Kids are doing that all the time. And it WOULD be cool if Bieber showed up, but he probably won’t : only because celebrities just don’t have the time for every invitation to a prom, b-day party, etc. (I know there have been a few exceptions, but..)

You know, I was supporting him right up the “No, I’m not gay” remark. If that’s the case, what’s the point. Why would Beebs what to attend a prom with a straight dude.
Now, if Leon was GAY, I think it would be a great opportunity for Justin to reach out and attend the prom for an “it gets better” moment.
To bad Leon, you almost had my sympathy.
