This kind of think drives me nuts. It's a kind of pretend 'I'm down w the homos so it's ok for me to tease'...about how it's so gross. Pathetic.
I went to the Guardian Student Media awards ceremony the other day hosted by some z-list (UK) celeb and he was off on the same thing. 'OMG I said I thought Russell Brand was hot and now the tabs say I'm gay! Fate worse than death!'
I just couldn't help heckling him, and the crowd was very much on my side, yay--it was great to see this guy's homophobic humour get shot down by the whole room.
Barrowman's comment makes me want to grow a lady beard just on principal. Oh I DO SO APOLOGISE for not obeying your rules on female appearance. Pardon me while I KILL MYSELF.
