I thought he was out a long,long time ago.

This is "news"?


Basically, we should get out of people's bedrooms. Why do we care who this one or that one is sleeping with? Fuq it. Can they SING? Can they ACT? Can they GOVERN?

Other than that, who cares who is sleeping with who? Damn.

The funny thing is he says in the interviews that he broke up a couple (man and woman) by dating both of them:

There's a major difference between a flaming dude and someone who's out.

This was known years ago, kind of like George Michael, like we didnt know, and even Elton John back in the day, it was known. Geez even Freddie Mercury didnt say it but you knew.

This is very funny thread!

BTW, I don't think Stipe was screamingly gay. I agree with mynameisnotsusan, who was shocked he was associated with anything sexual at all (not just because of his looks).

Maybe he keeps bringing it up cuz he hasn't gotten the reaction he was looking for the other 97 times he's said it.

maybe from now on, whenever anyone is in his presence and he says or does anything even remotely gay-ish, they should immediately gasp and clutch their pearls.

Yes. And all his friends should buy him tarsiers to amplify everything.

John Waters can be remarkably like a tarsier. Maybe he should hang out with Michael Stipe. hmmm

Well, they're like monkeys. But they're more related to lemurs. Me wants one.

I'm not going to get preachy but until gay teen suicide is nil, I think this is important for their self esteem and longing for acceptance in a society that still at the very least mocks them and bullies them.

Granted I think everyone knew of Stipes sexuality long ago, but every little push on the closet door helps.
