Nick Jonas says he doesn’t think he’s gay-baiting fans, but is just being an LGBT ally.

In an interview with Queerty, Jonas says he doesn’t consider himself a “gay cock tease” as James Franco has described himself.

“I’ve been pretty clear with my heart and my nature of just wanting to be as supportive of my gay fans as they’ve been of me. So there’s definitely not any cock teasing going on. If anything I hope I can be a real ally for the LGBT community and I’m thrilled to be in a spot where I feel like there’s a lot of mutual love and respect,” Jonas told Queerty.

Jonas also addressed he and Demi Lovato’s decision to pull their Future Now tour out of North Carolina due to the state’s HB2 law.

“You know, it’s a tough situation overall, and I think for Demi and I it was just about doing our best to try and make a decision that made a firm statement, but also took into consideration the fact that this would be very disappointing for our fans that were looking forward to the show,” Jonas says.

“But sometimes you have to make these tough choices in order to hopefully see a change. We can only kind of humble ourselves and try to do our part, but hopefully we’ll see some good out of this very unfortunate situation,” Jonas concluded.
