Slow News Day

Johnny Weir (pictured) might be gay?!?!? Oh the humanity! Next you’re going to tell me that Rudy Galindo was also gay.

Apparently, there are some people out there who are confused about the sexual orientation of U.S. mens figure skater Johnny Weir. Read all about it here. First of all, asking people to announce their sexual orientation is ridiculous and inappropriate in any setting. Secondly, who’s confused about his sexual orientation in the first place? Have any of these people actually seen Mr. Weir? If we’re being honest here, I pretty much assume that the vast majority of North American male figure skaters are gay, not that there’s anything wrong with that. C’mon, we’re talking about FIGURE SKATING! Is there a more gay oriented athletic event than men’s figure skating? Women’s rugby is a close second, but nothing can match men’s figure skating in this respect. It must have been a slow news day at the Chicago Tribune.
