Is Johnny Weir in the 2010 Olympics?
Johnny Weir has made no official statement or public announcement regarding his sexual preference , so whatever you read or hear is based on speculation alone.
Below are some Contributor opinions and additional Input:
- Johnny Weir may be metro sexual, like King of Pop Michael Jackson. A metro sexual is generally applied to heterosexual men with a strong concern for their appearance, and/or whose lifestyles display attributes stereotypically attributed to gay men.... but they are completely straight.
- Or he could just be gay. Who knows?
- Oh yeah! he has a boyfriend! it showed johnny weir and his boyfriend taking a bubble bath together in a documentary. He also wore a hot pink, black pleather skating unitard that also had lace and crystals.
- I'm sorry, people might think that he is gay but he isnt. just because someone wears tight outfits doesn't mean that your gay. Its figure skating....if your not a figure skater you wouldn't understand. All figure skating guys love it for the sport. i mean look at it this way, you girls have seen guys wearing tight skinny jeans right? And you probably thought they were cute too, right? well its the exact same thing. Guys in skating have to wear tight outfits, they couldn't skate in something baggie, it would be so hard! like i said, its hard to explain but if your a figure skater it is easier to understand. Not all guy figure skaters are gay. Take any guy Olympic champion and they probably have a wife and kids. Its so stereo type and it really makes me mad. It makes me so sad, and it makes me even sadder to think what they go through everyday; people printing articles on the internet about how they are gay... its not funny, they work hard and give up everything for skating and you would understand if you were a figure skater or in their position.
- Dude just cause you aren't gay doesn't mean he isn't. look at him, listen to him. it is undeniable and that's ok.
