PHOTOS: Is Jonny Makeup Someone We Want to Care About?

OH SNAP — Jonny Makeup, who is a socialite? And who sometimes appears in American Apparel advertisements? Because he designs clothes for them? (He calls AA’s Dov Charney “daddy”?) Well he went to the “white” (read: “get splashed with paint”) birthday party of Katy Perry, another icon candidate the gays swiftly rejected. Let’s decide: Do we want Jonny Makeup to be a hero or villain? Sorry, there’s no in between. (Photos: Pacific Coast News)

I’ve met him before, he’s fun. He designed one of my favorite shirts from American Apparel and his “I seen Beyonce at Burger King” video on youtube is pretty hilarious.

Actually, despite Querty’s opinion, there is plenty of “in-between”. He is funny, and obnoxious, and a stereotype, and one of our queer kin. Oh, and if I was 30 years younger, I would drill him into the next room!

why does anyone give a shit about this guy, because he’s a fellow gay? He’s a t-shirt designer (and I use the term “designer” loosely) and social climber who obviously lacks any muscle definition. Let’s move on.

I’ve hung out with Jonny before and he is a great person! Anyone that is offended by his “behavior” is just insecure with their fem-self. What is the issue exactly? Are you afraid that “mainstream” America is going to judge the entire community based on him? Who the fuck cares! Jonny is hilarious!

So if every queen that get’s trotted out the new gay role model for the moment? I thought be learned our lesson with Oerez Hilton. I for one am neither embarrassed by jealous of this dude. I just find it laughable that some here (URBANG) is propping up another party boy as some roll model just because he’s a flaming homo, otherwise no one would care.

Yeah, let’s have Jonny as a hero. There’s a vacancy for a gay Paris Hilton, and he doesn’t do anyone any harm. Oh and he guested on Cazwell’s ‘I Seen Beyonce’ which gives him extra hero points in my book.

@Paul, regarding “muscle definition”: Jonny has undergone a huge transformation in the last year. He took up yoga and lost a ton of weight (compare these new pictures with this old one with Paris: http://www.queerty.com/wp/docs.....hilton.jpg ). He’s also fun, sweet, and generous, so I say he’s a hero.

I’m really kinda over the whole Gay issue with being Gay! So what if Johnny Makeup or Perez Hilton or any other fabulous Gay boy in America wants to celebrate his sexuality. The new “gay male” ideology of wanting to be recognized as masculine, straight looking and straight acting is so ridiculous and offensive to me as a gay man and to all minority groups. Should African-Americans and Latinos start looking and acting White? There is obviously some shame within the Gay Male community. I personally am down with the Lesbians. They rock and they kick Ass! The gay male community needs to come out of the closet, again…

As someone who grew up with him, I can say Johnny is a sweetheart- and had to strive harder growing up gay in Pennsylvania (although a wealth of good people live here) So Creed (comment #31)- Piss off…

Jonny Makeup is more than someone we should care about, he is someone we should look up to. America is filled with heterosexism, homophobia, and racism. I am a gay black kid who makes art and jonny gives me strength and courage to be myself and embrace the femmine beauty that is within me, not shy away from it. I have had the pleasure of meeting Jonny very briefly and he is super intelligent and so down to earth. Heterosexists and homophobes find him intimidating because his beauty and realness threaten the staus quo and everything bad in this country. I cant wait to see what jonny will do next. I want to marry him and I know i am not the only one who feels this way.

For my own curiousity I googled this Jonny Makeup chap. For God’s sake a young twink that works and lives with his fashion empire daddy does NOT NOT NOT represent this 44 year old gay professional (unartistic) man. Please stop forcing stereo types onto me.

Jonny is a huge superstar and activista in the gay community. His ‘Legalize Gay’ campaign with American Apparel and collaboration with the Human Rights Campaign has become the face of the anti-homophobia and pro-equality political fight. Look at any major LGBT protest, march or event and you can’t miss Jonny’s work. Jonny is a hero to LGBT individuals everywhere.

So I’m guessing 70% of these posts were made by Jonny him self, 25% were made by his friends/”pr staff” and the other 5% are people saying, who is Jonny Makeup, and why the %)&#% should I care?

Jonny’s the epitome of fab!! He’s super sweet and super fun. Not to mention he’s a huge activist(a) and trendsetter for all of us. All my friends and I wore HRC’s rendition of Jonny’s ‘Legalize Gay’ shirts to the Equality March last month. Keep up the good fight Jonny, we love you!
