Singer Brian McFadden, who this week sparked outrage with some unpleasant comments about the color pink and gay men, insists he’s not homophobic, saying, “To come to the conclusion that I am homophobic from these sentences is far from the truth. Some of my friends and colleagues are gay and if I was truly homophobic then I have picked the wrong industry.” Oh, the old “some of my best friends are [x]” excuse. How original. [Sify]

That still doesn’t account for his wearing a pink shirt after dissing straight men who wear the color.

Honestly, I think he misspoke. He’s young and probably not super-articulate.

Does this person do something noteworthy, or are we just picking up quotes from random strangers?

“Honestly, I think he misspoke. He’s young and probably not super-articulate.”
Nah, that’s being too generous. He’s clearly an idiot. He spoke at length about his disdain for gay people, it wasn’t just a passing comment.

Brian,
Didn’t care when you sounded like an a$$hole, and now that you are a lying sniveling patronizing a$$hole…I still don’t care.

Westlife is awesome. And when Feehily came out it was doubly cool. (But I always thought Shane Filan was the hottest in the group).
