Everyone is Gay?

So I was awake this rainy morning, strongly pondering what I was going to blog about today. So many issues in the world and so little time. As I was sipping on my hot morning cup of coffee, I came across a daily news feed that said pop star Rihanna goes both ways and would love to have a fling with box office B52 bomber Megan Fox.

I am starting to realize that this is becoming a ridicules trend among stars and celebrities that either A) Continue to bomb in the box office or television B) Continue to drop in record sales C) Become gay out of nowhere, and their celebrity partner or whatever you would call it is very powerful. Obviously, there were a few celebrities in the industry that came out and they became more gay than gay, George Michael, Clay Aiken, Lindsay Lohan,etc.

In recent news, "Family Ties" mom Meredith Baxter came out on the cover of people magazine after she was seen aboard a lesbian boat by an onlooker. Now I have a couple of issues with this, who is going to really recognize Meredith Baxter from a far? I would understand if somebody saw Tom Cruise or Clint Eastwood, but Meredith Baxter? Come on now, it seams like everyone who "comes out" thinks they will be rewarded with a TV show or a hit movie.

The Uncompromisable Truth behind all of these so called "stepping up" and "being brave" is a means of low level publicity to either "revive" or "rejuvenate" a fallen or forgotten career. Never mind that these stars who "Come out of the Closet" were married for nearly 100 years, and, all of a sudden they had a life changing revelation that they knew they liked the opposite sex, and that was part of the reason they could not get a hit movie or TV show. Come on, I'm not buying it!

The Uncompromisable Truth is that if your not selling movie tickets or records, and you are receiving low rating on television, the blame can be rightfully directed at the lack of talent or character you display to the general public, who is not all that hard to please when "King of the Hill" breaks the top 10. In other words, your freak-in boring! Think about it, wasn't Family Ties a hit because Michael J. Fox was in it? Now imagine a show that had Meredith Baxter as the star, it is going to tank! So instead of "coming out of the closet" to boost your career, get out of the business and do something that you are good at, like work with blind kids, pick up trash, run for governor...

And that, my friends, is The Uncompromisable Truth.

  1. I, personally, feel that whether you're gay or straight in The Industry doesn't really matter AS MUCH anymore as it did before.

    A perfect example of that would be Ellen.

    I completely agree; I think your success is not threatened if you are out or not, it is whether or not you're good at what you're doing, whether it be an actress, model, singer, etc. However, I think coming out as a celeberity has its benefits. Good example of that= Adam Lambert.
