[...] about an 8 (we’ll give him room to grow as his publicity builds during the Olympic games). Famously close-lipped about his sexuality, the three-time U.S. National Champion (2004-2006) is just as open about [...]

While some people may “applaud” this dodge as an example of how to make it “not an issue”, it’s an issue because it’s a dodge. You think any straight person would give an answer like that? Playing the “Clay-Aiken-I’m-going-give-cute-answers-for-the-next-10-years-even-though-everyone-knows” card is just stupid by this point. The most appropriate response should be “Yeah, so?” and that’s the end of it. Anything else is hammering in the fact our community can’t answer a simple question and we have to play these bullshit games with words.

Give me a break: Johnny Weir is nothing short of clever (which is why he started at 12 and has 3 nationals and saved our ass in worlds while Evan played it stupid and hurt himself (like a bad trainer of a certain (RIP) horse. Comparison may be in poor taste, Sorry to offend. But can’t stand Evan. Goes out of way to knock threatening Weir because he’s more feminine. Who CARES if he’s married to the POPE!!! It’s none of our business, as if we care!! What would Brian Boitano do? Scott Hamilton, Paul Wylie, Kurt Browning, Elvis, Jeff Buttle, Dick Button….and on and on. Aside from costume preference, all possess feminine traits, aren’t manly men. Evan is probably phobic. But as far as skating?? He’s the sloppiest skater I’ve ever watched from US rise so high. Sure, hands are strong, side, flat, stoic, head thrusts straight back, spins are repetitious, but other than multiple combos and more of them, artistic impression and blades are everywhere and same ol same ol. I’LL TAKE STRONG ATHLETICISM COMBINED WITH ELEGANT ARTISTRY (WEIR) OVER SLOPPY SECONDS ANYDAY!

I find it funny that someone would be expected to butch it up in the sport of figure skating. I guess they are trying to get past the belief most people have about all figure skaters being gay. Put in a sport like figure skating it is being unique, to stand out in the competition that is just as important as technical skill. To expect someone to butch it up is something that to me is crazy. You go and be the out and flashy self and be the best skater you can be.

I love Johnny, but I really wish he would just say I’m gay and put all the questions behind him.

Well, he just won a Bronze at Worlds, and I hope everybody will just shut up now. He wasn’t perfect at Worlds, but boy, did he fight! It’s his private life, it’s nobody’s business.

Congrats Johnny!

I LOVE his answer. He let’s it be known, while understandably pointing out its nobody’s damn business. Go girl!! I’m his newest fan, and I hate figure skating.
