- Huh? Too many pronouns!
-
- The beef I have is mostly with the 2nd to last clause,
- "just don't do that shit around me"... which can imply open sexual
- acts (which is absurd) and carries with it some kind of
- "all gays just have sex with anything at the drop of a hat" or
- "All fags want to fuck me" (free clue, hon we don't...) or implies
- just openly homosexual social behavior which translates to the
- "I support gays if they would just keep it to themselves and not
- flaunt it" canard. It would have been easier had he been more explicit
- as to what "that shit" meant, I doubt it was positive. Poor Mikey
- probably didn't have time for English classes...
-
- So which is it? Neither is very appealing nor supportive.
- Finding someone *isn't* outwardly homophobic doesn't mean they are
- "OK". Earlier in the interview he more or less makes it plain
- that he likes the $$$ his homosexual fans give him... and that is
- about it. Hey, fine by me - we all spend $$$ in frivolous ways,
- and better him than say Axl Rose or Eddie Murphy...
-
- Now I assume you mean that Marky is the crass party, so that
- isn't too difficult.
-
- Is he from Boston? (That's what I'm inferring...)
- Well, you know how uptight those Bostonians are..... (or just
- "tight"), right Mike? :-)
