THAT’S GAY: Is Johnny Weir too gay for Figure Skating?
Isn’t that like saying someone is too tall to play basketball, too tough to play rugby or too much of a Hot Pocket eating shut-in to play WoW? Bryan Safi of Current TV’s THAT’S GAY seems to agree.
When talking ABOUT Olympic hopeful Johnny Weir, both legitimate news-people and the the talking heads of tabloid television alike seem to be embroiled in a competition of their own to see who comes up with the most colorful phrases to suggest he’s a big “mo” without ACTUALLY saying it.
Besides being called “flamboyant” by everyone from The New York Times to Psychology Today (and even referred to as flamboyantly flamboyant by Macleans), the following are just a few of the Johnny-Weir-is-so-gay euphamisms gathered by Deadspin: “diva persona”, “avant-garde showman”, “Care Bear on acid”, “as if he had hired the costume designers for Cher and Judas Priest”, “wearing something Elton John would consider over-the-top”, “sprightly fashionista”, “flashes butt cleavage”, “gender-bending showman” and “figure skating’s peacock”.

You have to love that Figure Skating shows up on the THAT’S GAY gay-o-meter as gayer than “competitive assfucking.”
