Marc Ambrosia comes out as gay with his new anthem, "Gay and Proud"
Fresh off the heels of his October 2022 album, Edge, Marc Ambrosia is back with new music and a big announcement - he's gay... and proud.
"I’ve known I was gay since I was eight years old," Ambrosia admits. "Despite that, I never in a million years would have thought I’d be able to admit that to anyone, let alone publicly."
Twenty years later, Marc Ambrosia is doing just that and he's doing it the best way he knows how... through song. Marc's new single, "Gay and Proud" is a rocked out salute to coming out of the closet.
"I knew I was gay for so long and felt rage, shame, and fear," Ambrosia says. "I was so angry that I just couldn’t be “normal;” I felt ashamed that I couldn't change myself, and I felt so afraid that someone might find out my secret. It took me twenty years to not only say I'm gay out loud, but also to accept that about myself and love that about myself. So for me, this song is a celebration of life. A life that was so full of self-hate and one that finally became one of self-love, acceptance, and peace."
"Gay and Proud" is out now via Roon Boon Records.
