Today marks the half way mark of 2011, & with 2 abysmal, annihilating earthquakes, a titanic tsunami, a group sizable storms in the south & history making monster tornado in Joplin Mo, all brought by a vengeful God, outraged by our Socialist Muslim President's repeal of Don't Ask/Don't Tell. We are on a slippery slope in this country & nothing is quite as slippery as ice. In what may be the most shocking news I will hear all year: ice skater & sequin enthusiast Johnny Weir has come out as a homosexual.
In 2006, Weir stated: "I don't feel the need to express my sexual being because it's not part of my sport & it's private. I can sleep with whomever I choose & it doesn't affect what I'm doing on the ice."
In January 2011, he changed his position to: "With people killing themselves & being scared into the closet, I hope that even just one person can gain strength from my story. In a sexual way, I'm gay."
In his recent memoir- Welcome To My World. Weir added: "I'm not ashamed to be me. More than anyone else I know, I love my life & accept myself. What's wrong with being unique? I am proud of everything that I am & will become."
If you are still a bit icy about him, check out the 2008 documentary- Pop Star On Ice.
