SOUNDBITES — “The kiss was down from the get go. It happened very naturally and organically. I leaned into smell her and I started by kissing her neck. It was electric and when I got to her mouth, she actually kissed me. Kissing lady Gaga was like kissing any beautiful woman you feel a connection with, as soon as I touched her she was just that, very sensitive and responsive. It even eclipsed the crazy cigarette glasses that were smoking. I think we did four or five takes, it all happened so fast, it was a bit of a blur. By the last takes we were brushing ashes off each other and coughing and laughing. Talk about second hand smoke! But really it was a performance and that yes she is a good kisser but kissing my girlfriend is even more powerful as I’m totally under her spell. … I find nothing problematic about Gaga’s video. For some one to say that it is bad to have representation of LGBTQ people in prison in a music is just ludicrous to me. To be able to poke, to parody ourselves means we have come along way. They are missing the point. In addition, Gaga is exploiting all images in the video, including herself. The structure of the video claims everything from Thelma and Louise to early sexploitation films.” —Artist, fitness trainer, and bodybuilder Heather Cassils, who you know as the gal who kissed Lady Gaga in “Telephone” (via)

why are gay guys so messed up? Going on and on about kissing women?

Nothing original in this HORRENDOUS video. It was a waste of time and probably a lot of money. Rehashing Tarantino, Madonna, the 80’s, the 50’s and Thelma and Louise is NOT ORIGINAL. I am saddened that Jonas Aukerlund was even a part of this considering I am a fan of his work. And comparing it to Thriller isn’t even justified. This train wreck will be over soon.
How about we support gay artists that are trying to make their way in the business by actually writing songs about our lives, loves and struggles who often get sidelined because they are gay.

@john: If you are refering to the person speaking within the article, that person is a woman…named Heather Cassils.

really really, kissing isn’t sexual, is it always?? It can lead to gr8 sex but otherwise if your eyes r closed, the lips match, your brain is free to imagine you kissing any1 at all. i am gay but i learned 2 make out from a bi-grrl. best lessons i ever got!
i could kiss a girl for 20 minutes on the street & no one will care. If i kiss a guy then i can get gaybashed.
that needs to change
kissing is harmless !!

Lady Shit Shit is good at using female bisexuality as a marketing ploy. A male version wouldn’t even get his foot through a record company door.
As for her notion that she’s “gay-friendly”, cough, splat, shit. She’s a phony from top to bottom.

Yes, why can’t a man use male bisexuality as a marketing ploy? Why is it only women – Britney, Madonna, Fergie, Lady Gaga – that are allowed to do this? Is it because it’s heterosexual men who are dictating the terms of what’s acceptable in the mainstream?
This is a question that the gay community should be asking of the record companies. Why aren’t music journalists questioning the double standard? Are we as gay and bi men supposed to accept the preferential treatment that women are given?
I say “hell, no”.

Dance music is a gay man’s domain. Why, then, are dance song videos being manufactured according to the standards of the sleazy straight fantasy? Tell these dance divas to fuck off.
Look carefully at all of Lady Gaga’s official videos to date. The editing has been carefully designed to eliminate any notion that the men are being sensual with each other. It’s only guy-girl and girl-girl that is allowed.
It’s time to flush Lady Gaga down the toilet.

Sometimes I think that stupid women declare themselves bi for the purpose of empathizing with the GLBT community. It’s almost like “yeah, I can relate to you”. What these dumb broads fail to understand is that they are being frauds and, secondly, they’re simply propping up the girl-girl fetishes of sleazy straight guys. Maybe they do understand the latter point and simply want to be playthings for their strictly straight boyfriends.
These women are gross. I’d sooner have Fred Phelps breathing down my back.

At the risk of feeding the troll…
@Jason
I believe this was said to you before, but apparently it needs to be said again. Heather Cassils doesn’t quite fit the stereotypical straight male’s girl-on-girl fantasy.
Also, your misogyny is getting pretty fucking old.
romeo
Yeah, what’s up with that, Jason. I thought you were our resident fanatical bisexual or something.

Jason, you are absolutelly right! Gays, wake up!!!
