Epic throwback photo of Beyonce and high school boyfriend

lol, don't know much about the guy in the photo with queen B,  but from.  What I gathered online is,  they were high school friends,  dated and broke off like most teenagers.  Some even claim the dude is gay.

Assuming the first story is true,  how would you feel as a guy now that she is world no 1? Talk true... #throwback
