I do realize it seems like we’ve obtained quite a few gay-issued themed posts proper now (see this and this and this – haha, I obtained you to click on on on Mel Gibson!), nonetheless this one I merely wanted to do. On account of this one is about my gay boyfriend Johnny Weir. Apparently, Weir is not okay to look on “Stars on Ice”. Not that he can’t ice skate – I indicate, the bitch can ice skate! No, Johnny’s downside seems to be that he’s seen as “not family nice”. On account of, you acknowledge, he’s Johnny “I rock the pink tassel” Weir and apparently people who pay to go to ice skating excursions don’t perceive that lots of these males are gay? Proper right here’s further from Gawker:

That may be ironic. GLAAD says the Girl Gaga-loving Olympian was excluded from the money-raking decide skating tour because of he is “not family nice.” GLAAD blogger Lauren Mattia writes, “GLAAD has found from a provide that should keep anonymous that sponsors of the Stars on Ice Tour, which embrace Smuckers and IMG Leisure, have refused to allow Three-time US Nationwide Champion and 2-time Olympian Johnny Weir to participate because of they declare that he is “not family nice.”

“To say that Weir is “not family nice” could be a clear jab at his perceived sexual orientation. Weir is awfully involved collectively along with his family. He is putting his youthful brother by means of faculty, and helps the family financially on account of his father’s incapacity prohibits him from working. […] Weir’s effectivity and costume trend is normally thought-about flashier than these of various skaters, leading to questions on his perceived sexual orientation.”

GLAAD’s publish doesn’t specify whether or not or not Weir was invited or had an curiosity in changing into a member of the Stars on Ice tour, which might perform teammate and Olympics gold medalist Evan Lysacek, no-longer-competing Sasha Cohen, and Japan’s Miki Ando. Weir has said he’s taking a break from performing to teach privately, and has however to the touch upon GLAAD’s declare. Stars on Ice moreover has however to comment, though we’ve invited their spokeswoman (and Johnny’s) to comment.

This isn’t the first controversy referring to people’s reactions to Weir’s perceived sexuality. In the midst of the Olympics, Canadian commentators made “jokes” about how Weir was perhaps a woman, after which Weir gave one among the many most good press conferences about his (or anyone else’s) sexuality ever. Weir principally knowledgeable the world, “Look, I am who I am, I’m not out to censor anyone or get anyone fired, nonetheless this isn’t cool because of there are kids available on the market who must develop up in a world the place they actually really feel protected to be who they’re absolutely.”

Now, as for the exact scenario of Weir exhibiting on “Stars on Ice”… properly, we don’t even know if Weir would wish to go. He’s been popping up far and huge lately, and he’s undoubtedly going to be spherical as a “film star” for a while, I really feel. There was some communicate over at Gawker that Weir could make more money if he does European and worldwide gigs, barely than merely skate stateside, nevertheless I have no idea about these markets. We’ll see. In truth, I’m completely anticipating him to begin designing clothes and current up in a Lady Gaga music video any day now.

UPDATE: Johnny Weir has confirmed the speculation, telling Entry Hollywood (via Towleroad): “It’s for precise. All because of I am not family nice adequate. I understand I am a little bit of outrageous nevertheless I would like I’d perform for the followers…Maybe correct now, merely artistically and creatively, I’d prefer to have my very personal current, with musical acts, like maybe getting Girl Gaga! I don’t want to assume there are any boundaries. Anytime you get males in glitter it’s flamboyant!” Bless his coronary coronary heart. I actually like him for his positivism. If I was Weir, I may need been like, “Dude, we’re ice skaters. All of us love glitter and sparkles and being fabulous, that’s why we turned ice skaters! And if that isn’t family nice, then you must suck my large glittery d-ck.”
