A Pop Star Walks Into a White Party
OH SNAP — Wearing red. Britney Spears is gracing the gays with her presence, at the White Party in Palm Springs, right this minute. Naturally, Twitter is lighting up, and everyone is losing. their. shit. She’ll be performing in an hour, the Facebookers say, so hydrate, boys.

She is actually not performing, Perez Hilton just confirmed it. He says she is just there attending to “support her gays”.
She looks beautiful!

Support the gays? To me, she looks as if she’s exploiting them. Gay men are particularly exploitable. Tragic, really.
She must have a new album coming up, methinks.
·
Who cares? She’s there to promote whatever piece of shit, auto-tuned garbage album she’ll be vomiting out into the world soon.
Why are we always so desperate for acceptance that we see this sort of thing as a show of support? It’s PR and promotion…nothing more, nothing less. And queens have gotten so complacent and vapid we just lap it up and ask for more.
None of these people would give a shit if they didn’t stand to benefit. There’s a circuit party EVERY weekend…and other gay events just as often. Where was she then? Exactly.
Everyone is losing their shit. Over what? So sad.

Ummm..the White Party (where she was spotted) IS a circuit party.
I’m not sure I get your point…are you agreeing with me, or arguing with me?
Personally, I don’t care what she does musically – I’m not plugged into that world so it won’t register on my screen at all. I just wish younger gay men would pick more significant things/people to get excited (i.e. commit their time and money) about…

Only the most vapid and ridiculous queens will get excited over seeing common white trash in a bad weave show up to a drug-fueled color-themed orgy.
Is this really who we want joining our movement?

Of course she didn’t perform. She CAN’T perform. I had the misfortune of getting free tickets to her “concert” last year at Staples Center in LA. She did not sing one single note live, and she barely even danced. She pranced up and down the stage in high heels doing what we coined “the piggy trot”. It was sad.
·
When it comes to supporting tragic messes in their prime (i.e. Madonna/GaGa) or their worst (Britney/HRC) gay men are suckers.
·
On second thought – it’s the white party…anyone who’s (still?) into those train wreck drug-a-thons isn’t likely to be part of advancing queer culture or pushing important legislation. Hell most of them can hardly show up for work on Monday.
Truly a waste.

She’ll be performing???? You mean lip-syncing, don’t you?
