Bow Wow's Rampant Homophobia: Surest Sign Yet He's 'Family'
 
 

omarionbowwow

We couldn't recommend a less successful strategy for a celebrity to fight off gay rumors than engaging in public homophobia. How many times must we repeat: THIS ONLY SCREAMS OUT THAT YOU'RE A FAGALA. Recently there was Omarion going all machismo, and now Bow Wow follows a misinformed PR strategy. In a live video chat, the wee rapper discussed his discomfort with gays, reports BET. "He talked about a time where he needed a haircut and had his people go and find him a barber. But after noticing the barber was gay he told them that he didn’t want the haircut anymore." Because he was gonna catch it! Silly boy. If you really want to convince on-lookers, and yourself, that you don't like dudes, here are two tips: 1) Stop trying so hard to be homophobic; 2) Stop limp-wristing around with Omarion, because this only furthers the romance rumors that've been circulating for years. (See 'em sing to each other here. Awww!)

The funny part about what this queen said will be evident if you click on the BET link.

He needs to stop talking.

Can we all stop the he dislikes gays, so he must really be gay nonsense?? As ignorant as homophobia is, it doesn't mean that the homophobe is really a fag in denial. It's a lazy assumption, and also kinda homophobic itself.

Afrolito, the thing is: How many virulently homophobic politicians and religious leaders have later turned out to be gay?

It's not a law of nature, but it's certainly more than a coincidence.

Let's all try to be nice here. We are all aware that he did not attend an inner-city school, probably (though I personally can't be sure nor even care) does not have friends who live in the projects and would scream in horror if he were in a house or apartment where there might be a mouse running across the floor.

He, along with several other rappers/movie stars who have spent more years rich than they did poor (LLcoolJ and Will Smith to name a few) really hand me a laugh when they present their 'I'm from the hood" personality when they get in front of the camera but allow no pictures of their houses, chauffered limo's nor EVER speak of the schools their children attend.

I just sit back and laugh. I am really starting to feel sorry for this emotionally lost little boy. He can't be himself and live with the millions he already has. He is only giving himself away and digging the hole deeper with every denial. If this is what he has to resort to in order to sell his music then his music must not have much to offer.

@afrolito:

I get what you're saying afrolito, and even agree with you, but in THIS case…

I mean they aren't even buying this on the BET message board.

You're right, he needs to stop talking (I almost said he needs to keep his mouth closed, lol).

@ Afrolito

Exactly… I always thought that the "Methinks the lady doth protest too much" line of reasoning is just as homophobic as straight people labeling people as gay to ridicule them.

If that means he's done with Omarion, I'd like to take a crack at him.

@gurlene:

But gurlene, LL never said shit like this (he'd better not, lol). But then LL never really claimed to be from the hood and hip hop was more popular with the black middle class than in the hood when LL first arrived on the scene.

Bow Wow is probably doing this because he knows that his real fans are "the children."

Whether he is or isn't gay is not the point. Constantly labelling people as gay, just because they say negative things about gays or are uncomfortable around them, makes legitimate homosexuality seem like the ultimate slur.

This seems to be where the "gays" and homophobes come together too often.

@afrolito: I totally agree.
i think someone like bowow is an exception(that boy likes boys!) but the vast majority of homophobes are straight, and for those in the closet, they are acting homophobic to appear more straight. Calling people gay who are homophobes is typically silly, juvenile, and counterproductive. Their sexuality doesn't matter, they should just stop being homophobic and go one with their private lives.

@Bertie: Speaking of which if I am not mistaken to date Big Daddy Cane is the only one I know of that bared it all for Playgirl years ago in the early 90's.

Tyrese gave a tease when he starred in Baby Boy (damn good movie about coming of age) but I don't think anyone else has. Am I correct? Or have there been others? I am not talking about little snotty nose here and his cable tv glimpse. I'm talking about a nude scene in the sense of a nude scene, if you get my drift.

Hector 'macho' Camacho did a spread for Playgirl as well. He was a disappointment. I expected MUCH more with all that hype that went into it.

I don't care what anyone on this board says that was NOT Will Smith's ass we saw in I-Robot. That was a body double. That ass we saw was too flat to be Will. Now as for that teasing glimpse we got in the movie The Wild, Wild West, I do think that one was his.

@Bertie: Thanks for that. I thought all along he probable did/does have a nice piece on him. That is definetly him in that thumbnail pic.

If only his personality were as large. I still feel sorry for this little fart though.

@Chitown Kev: I still feel sorry for the little fart. He and Chris Brown along with many other celebs who got rich while young go through absolute hell in their early 20's. He was surrounded by outright thugs (Suge Knight, Snoop and company) and has no other choice (so he thinks) but to go that route.

However his being no dummy he knows how to get/keep his name out there. Who knows? The next time he does a nude scene we may get to see that booty. He is well aware controversy sells.

Going just a bit of topic here I wanted you to know (in regards to my comment the other morning) only 6 showed up out of a crowd of roughly 20. Nearly all present looked more like supporters from other groups doing support favors for this particular cause than from the grassroots level I had hoped it would be. But that was to be expected.

Have a good weekend.

@afrolito: Studies have been done that study erections in homophobic men, and most homophobes get aroused when they see two men getting it on(with no female presence). the study places a sensitive ring around a man's soft member, and as it stretches it records arousal…so yeah, homophobes are really just repressed homosexuals….

What has BET ever done for gay rights? Nothing, that's what. BET props up the sleazy straight guy fantasy and treats us gay and bi men with contempt.

@Mickey's mouse :P: Man, you beat me to posting about this study. I was just about to get all scientific on everyone's asses. Yep, there is a link between being homophobic and being closeted. I guess you're just more likely to have a heightened awareness of gay people (and thus be more homophobic) if you're a self-hating closet case. Bow Wow, I don't know, but he seems to have something to prove.
