Lindsay Lohan: Gay Hero?

lilosam-1.jpg
Lindsay Lohan’s alleged lesbianism continues to grab the gossip-lovers’ eye. And, assuming the actress and DJ Samantha Ronson are doing it, Gawker’s Sheila McClear thinks Lohan deserves major congratulations:

Here’s what’s cool: Lohan has been entirely matter-of-fact about the whole affair. She’s continued to appear in public with her rumored lover. There has been no moaning from her about private-life intrusion from the media, and no cries from her cougar mom to “Leave Lindsey ALONE!”

So Lohan’s openness is a big deal, and it’s awesome! Despite her bouts of rehab and some unfortunate recent roles, she’s young and still has most of her career ahead of her, so the stakes are high. Lohan acts as if she’s in love with another woman—and she’s put her personal happiness over any standard Hollywood career logic. Lohan’s love has conquered all!

You know what would be even more heroic? Actually saying she’s getting down with the ‘gina.

What do you think of this post?

Gawker WOULD try to put that idiotic spin on it.

How brave to keep repeating “We’re just friends”, and then give some eye-candy while she hugs another woman, making straight guys drool. Her and Tequila-worm definitely deserve our praise.

To be fair though, we don’t expect straight actors like to come out and say what they like. They just do it. If we want to be treated equally, literally equally, then let’s ask ourselves, “how would we treat this person/couple if they were straight?”

Michael Stipe got some grief for not coming out sooner, since it could have normalized gayness to a lot of his self-questioning fans. If someone is actively hiding themselves, then they should be more open than Stipe was, but if they are already open, as Lohan may be, why ask for a notarized certificate?

She is a confused little girl not to mention high on drugs 24/7. Nothing more lesbos! Give it a rest.

I would like it on public record that I called this during “Mean Girls.” Do I get a toaster oven or something for that?

Have any of you seen other pix of these two? In every single pic I’ve seen of them together, they both look completely wasted and tweaked-out. I don’t think there is one single thing about this ‘relationship’ to be particularly proud of.

Ech.

I don’t buy it. The whole thing coincidentally develops during Lohan’s career slump? She and Samantha are good friends with the pragmatism and love of mischief enough to fuck with the tabloids and with Lohan’s dwindled reputation. She is trying to eclipse her rep as a drughead while also opening up a whole new fanbase of gay people. I bet you anything that as soon as the idea to move into Samantha’s residence was hatched (which is due, apparently, to Lohan’s lack of money) it was quickly followed up with “wait, everybody will think we’re doing it”. And then that concern turned into an idea and then an opportunity and so on. Nonetheless, I love Lindsay Lohan and so I wish her to become the richest and most famous fake lesbo since Anne Heche.

If it turns out Lohan is indeed gay I would imagine her career is pretty much over. First she was a Disney darling, then with a boob job she became a Diva…..now if she comes out gay she loses the man attraction and her talent as an adult is quite limited as well………can you say b-rated?
