Never a fan of labels, Johnny Weir is giving himself one: He’s gay. The figure skater comes out in his new book, “Welcome to My World,” but said in an excerpt published in the Jan. 17 issue of People magazine that being gay “is the smallest part of what makes me me.” “I’m not ashamed to be me,” Weir wrote. “More than anyone else I know, I love my life and accept myself. What’s wrong with being unique? I am proud of everything that I am and will become.” Weir’s autobiography will be released Tuesday. He starts a book tour in New York the same day.
