JOHNNY WEIR TOO GAY FOR "STARS ON ICE"?

That is not possible. NOTHING is to gay for Stars on Ice. The sponsors for the cheese-fest say that Weir is not "family friendly" enough for the tour. Right. GLAAD is reporting:

"To say that Weir is 'not family friendly' would be a clear jab at his perceived sexual orientation. Weir is extremely involved with his family. He is putting his younger brother through college, and supports the family financially because his father’s disability prohibits him from working. Weir’s dedication to his family can be clearly documented in the Sundance series, Be Good Johnny Weir, which follows him and his family and friends through his life and career as a championship skater. Weir’s performance and costume style is sometimes considered flashier than those of other skaters, leading to questions about his perceived sexual orientation. While Weir has not officially announced his sexual orientation, he has garnered a significant amount of LGBT fans."

Yes. I am calling major bullshizz on this crap. The only thing this is doing is alienating Johnny's fans from purchasing tickets to Stars on Ice. I am sure Johnny didn't want to do the stupid show anyway, since he has his own show on the Sundance Channel, but he is also one of the top skaters in the world. They should have asked him. I HATE STARS ON ICE. Go see the Icecapades instead. [source]
