SHOCKED!

The ongoing Michael Jackson saga has become my guilty pleasure. 

Since he died, I wake up each morning trembling with delicious anticipation over the next revelation.  His children were fathered by his Jewish dermatologist has so far been my favorite morsel. 

But as much as I'm enjoying the unfolding of MJ saga truth, I was shocked by the shock now being expressed over the "revelation" that Michael Jackson was gay. 

Was there really someone out there who thought otherwise?  We're talking about the man/girl who mainstreamed drag, made Betty Boop sound butch, made Liberace look like a plain Jane and had a secret shrine adjacent to his bedroom dedicated to Macauly Culkin's used white jockey shorts.

 

Here's my challenge to the straight world:  Tell me one thing about Michael Jackson other than you're own moronic homophobia that led you to believe that he was straight. One thing.

Whoa! Please tell me you did not just equate pedophilia with homosexuality. That's enemy speak. No way am I welcoming that blighted soul in to our club. I only fooled around with other boys when I was one! The older I got the more mature my playmates became. Michael Jackson cannot say that. His mind was stuck in the adolescence he never had and he acted out by having boys the age he wished he was. Pity him? Yes. Consider him like me? Hell no!

RR COMMENTS: WHOA! LET'S GET REAL HERE. A HOMOSEXUAL CAN BE A PEDOPHILE BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE ALL HOMOSEXUALS PEDOPHILES IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY NOT ALL HETEROSEXUALS ARE PEDOPHILES.

ANYHOW, THE ADVOCATE IS REPORTING THAT MJ'S LOVERS ARE INSISTING THAT THE KING OF POP DIDN'T HAVE SEX WITH YOUNG BOYS, JUST THEM, ADULT MALES.

But, but he was married. TWICE!, And Lisa Marie would never of married a gay guy. Plus Donald said that they spent all their time in the suite at his Palm Beach place.

I have to admit that I have spent way to much time reading the comments on the articles, and the above is a compilation of the denials of MJ being anything other than a str8 boy scout pure saint.

Michael Jackson gay? Who'da thunk it?

See, I think the money and the fame screwed MJ up the most. NOT his childhood. He was bi-sexual at the very least. Publicly wanting to be straight but behind closed doors, gay?

Richard-- Another example of just how damaging the closet can be. I'm sure you already wrote the post. haha.

In my opinion...

Pedophilia is obviously wrong.
Two adults consenting no matter the orientation is nobodies business.
Neverland ranch = a little sketchy.
The saddest thing of all... his death will make millions (if not already).

Lessee. He was in a wedding picture with Liza Minnelli and Elizabeth Taylor. He wore contrived costumes. He made and spent tons of money. His recordings were enjoyable commercial product. He said "I'm not like other guys" in a video and got away with it.
Yea, he could have been gay, but then again, he might have been straight. Then again, he might have been human.
