That's Gay.

Somehow Feministing always gets around to these posts before I do! But I am cool with anyone who loves themelves some Johnny Weir!!! Here is the post from Feministing, which is ab fab. And here is a great video that feministing had a link to too, that is hilarious. But just in case you don't choose to click on the feministing link from above, here is an excerpt from the article that basically summarizes why I am swooning over Mr. Weir.

"Weir also makes mainstream commentators - from whom we can expect sexist and homophobic remarks - nervous, too. Last week, two Canadian radio personalities questioned Weir's sexuality and gender identity, saying that "we should make him pass a gender test at this point." They also argued that Weir's flamboyance would deter other young men from taking up the sport, because "they think all the boys who skate will end up like him. It sets a bad example," and suggested that Weir should be competing in the ladies' competition. Weir, when asked by "Access Hollywood" for his reaction, said "every little boy should be so lucky as to turn into me." And given that Weir is a three-time National Champion, two-time Olympian and personal friend of Lady Gaga, I have to agree - we should all be so lucky."



P.S. Let's not lie, I have been in love with figure skating since I was in the 3rd grade, when despite those skating lessons I never had, I was POSITIVE I would win an olympic medal. Given this long standing love affair, I also have a crush on that dreamy dreamboat Evan Lysacek. And my crush on Scott Hamilton? ALWAYS on.
