Neon Trees lead singer Tyler Glenn has come out as gay in the latest issue of Rolling Stone.

The 30-year-old singer says he's known he was gay since childhood but kept it a secret before now. "I've always felt like I'm an open book, and yet obviously I haven't been completely," he tells the magazine. "I had my crushes on guys throughout high school, but it was never an overwhelming thing until my twenties. Then I'd be dating girls and in love with my straight friend and it was the worst feeling in the world."

The full article will be posted on RollingStone.com on March 25.

Glenn was raised Mormon, but says he never encountered anti-gay dogma growing up.  "We were always taught—and I hate this word—'tolerance.'  The only time that felt different was when the Prop 8 thing came up," he says, referencing the 2008 bill to ban same-sex marriage in California, an effort the Mormon Church donated $22 million toward.
