WATCH: That Awkward Moment Steve Grand Corrected a News Anchor Who Didn’t Know He Was Gay

Steve Grand appeared on San Diego local news over the weekend to promote an upcoming performance of his. However, one of the news anchors interviewing him may have failed to go over her notes prior to chatting up the ‘All-American Boy.'

Grand was on air talking about the inspiration behind his songs when one of the anchors asked if break-ups were a particular source of inspiration for his songwriting, adding, “Poor women who date you, right?”

Grand was a bit caught off guard but was quick to correct that poor woman who didn't get the memo that Steve likes dudes: “Uh, no, I'm gay, so yeah, they're, uh, it's guys. But it's all the same really. It's about the human experience.” Grand went even further, using the awkward moment to talk about the importance of writing songs about gay love (which isn't that different than, you know, love sans qualifier):

“I think that it's good that people hear me and they may not even realize that I'm singing about guys” he adds. “And I think that is a testament to the fact that we do really all love the same, we lose the same, we feel heartache the same and that's what it's all about.”

The other (more in the know) anchor then asked Grand about his invitation to the Marine Corps Ball from a gay male marine. Said Grand,

“I was really touched by him asking me. I don't think I've got an invitation like that before”.

Grand also wrote about the exchange over his sexuality on Facebook:
