Zac Efron at Ease With Gay Taunts  1/20/08

Teen heart-throb Zac Efron insists he doesn't mind being called gay - because it isn't the worst label to be given.

The 20-year-old actor rose to fame with his role as the singing and dancing basketball player Troy Bolton in Disney's hit franchise High School Musical - and is frequently accused by gossip bloggers of hiding his homosexuality.

But the Hairspray star - who is dating his High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens - maintains the insinuations don't bother him.

He says, "Honestly, if the worst these people can say about me is that I'm gay, then I think I'll be fine. I can handle it."
