“Friendly” Explanation.

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?

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).
