Sexuality Expert Gwyneth Paltrow Dubs Her 7-Year-Old Daughter Apple A “Lipstick Lesbian”

I’ve been saving my clothes for [my daughter Apple] since before she was born. I was like, ‘I’ll bet you anything I’ll have a daughter, and she’ll be a really cool butch lesbian and be so above clothes,’ and I got a very clothes-obsessed child. So if she’s a lesbian, she’s a lipstick lesbian. She doesn’t like anything avant-garde at all. She likes anything that’s pretty, pretty, pretty or has a bow or a ruffle or is pink.

Bourgeois sexuality expert/professional baby namer Gwyneth Paltrow tells Harper’s Bazaar her child Apple will be a lesbian, but not one of those fashion-eschewing butch lesbians

Oh Gwyney, you’re as terrible as your husband’s last album. If only I could delete you too.

Usually, the use of “if” means what you’re going to say after is only a possibility. She never actually says in this article that her daughter is or will be a lipstick lesbian. And it’s pretty obvious she’s saying it all as a joke.

The best thing about the movie ‘Contagion’ is Gwyneth Paltrow drops dead in the first ten minutes.

I don’t know what it is, but there is something about this woman. Every time she is interviewed or speaks it’s like nails down a chalkboard. She is so offputting.

What’s to be offended about here?

Talking about your daughter possibly being a lesbian is no more noteworthy than talking about her being straight.

I hate this woman with a passion. She just comes off as this smug little cunt everytime she’s interviewed. In one magazine she said something along the lines of “I got where I am today because I’m such a hard worker and a great actress”. Really Gwyneth? You’re forgetting the fact that you were born into a family of successful, well connected Hollywood producers? You don’t their daddy had anything to do with you being an actress?

I usually don’t respond to trolls, but I have to say that I absolutely love Gwyneth. This is an offhanded, amusing comment and isn’t offensive. You idiots should save the bitter hateful comments for someone who deserves them.

I’m really getting tired of misleading headlines on Queerty. I’m pretty surprised this isn’t Daniel.
She never once said that her daughter was or is or will be any kind of lesbian. She said, before, that with her luck her daughter would probably not like clothes. Now, she has used that very important word
IF.
Thanks.

Awful writing, especially because it’s WRONG. Please fix this.

She is so obnoxious and what’s worse is that she actually believes all her detractors are jealous of her. Ugh.

I agree with the other commenters. Queerty, please acknowledge that she said the word “if”. The headline is pretty misleading, and I think it is clear that some commenters didn’t actually read her entire quote.

A pale dull boring nothing of an actress. Would never recognize her on the street. That’s just my own opinion, no more no less.

Gwyneth Paltrow comes across as mentally disturbed. I’m sorry but she does nothing for me except give me the runs.

@christopher di spirito: That was literally how my mother sold it to me. I wasn’t going to go, but she informed me that my “precious Gwenny” (intended irony) died a horrible death early on. It could have been just Matt Damon reading from the phone book after that, and I still would have gotten my ass to the theater.

She’s annoying sometimes, but I don’t see how anyone can hate her and like Madonna. Madonna is 10x worse in the self-important bitch department. And it doesn’t matter that Madonna is more talented than Gwyneth is in their respected crafts, no one should act like that.

Can you all leave my husband’s wife alone? sheesh. As for the first comment, I would like to see you name a better album released last year so I can laugh at your poor taste.

@Red Meat:

How about instead we laugh at your desperate attempts to write an offhanded intricate sentence. Let me guess, you practice your telephone greetings on a recorder to make sure they’re juuuuuussstt right.

To be honest, I really like the news on this website, but I hate the hypocritical lashed out to any heterosexual who so much makes a joke about homos. Seriously, give people a break. There is very little offensive in this comment. There is NOTHING in that comment that I couldn’t imagine a homosexual themselves saying. Really wish this place could just focus on newsworthy articles instead.

@David: Wait, just read that, and it didn’t grammatically make as much sense as it dead in my red wine influenced head, but I think the general gist should still run true.
