… includes plenty of pieces devoted to young gentlemen, like “boy w/ baton and hat w/ feathers,” “little boy with turquoise overalls on a stand,” and “boy pulling, 2 boys on a bike.” And they can all be yours at auction! [TMZ]
creepy? yes. But to assume that means hes a pedo isn’t right. I think it’s more about his obsession with his own lost childhood honestly, which is creepy, but not criminal or sexual IMO

Queerty, did you read the list before you posted this item? Or were you in such a rush to beat down a vulnerable target that you skipped that opportunity? There’s plenty of ‘girl’ stuff featured too.

I have never understood the people who defend Michael Jackson…he’s a performer yes, but somehow, some way, common sense is always lacking in the people who for whatever reason cannot see this guy is a full on ‘pedophile’.

I think this may be the first time I would say that it was a bad move for Queerty to post a story. Am I the only person who thinks acknowledging stories like this on a GLBT website only serves to (indirectly) reinforce the notion that gay guys are all pedophiles? Michael isn’t one of us, and we shouldn’t be associating him with our community at all, even tangentially.

@ Jack…as I said, “common sense is lacking”….where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Just because he wasn’t convicted does not mean he was never guilty. His behavior was beyond suspicious.

@Gregoire: How about multiple accusers he settled out of court with? (If you’re accused of something so heinous as pedophilia do you fight for your name or pay victims to keep quiet?)
How about the pornography of little/young boys his lawyers called ‘art’ books? (How much of that type of “art”, do NON pedophiles have just ‘laying around the house’?)
How about the fact that MJ invited many many young/little boys to share his bed naked? (Do you know any sane 30 yr old who would do that with strangers children let alone relatives? )

No. You are not the only person, Vernon. I agree with you 100%

@Geoff: You have proof of this?

I’m disappointed that none of these mentioned pieces of art are here to view. It would be interesting to see if the paintings are any good.

Do you have proof Anderson Cooper is gay, i.e. has he ever sucked YOUR dick?
