Listen up, lesbians, it’s time to start hiding your lady bits around hip hop artist, Omarion. The singer recently proclaimed on Twitter that he can flip them, convienently, the tweets have been removed. I mean, it’s not that hard to flip for someone with lyrics like “I’m bout to do it with the lights on/keep the lights on/you’re right with me next to my bed/givin’ me head.” That would make you go straight… right?

Wow, I feel straighter already! (not)
I find what he said pretty funny, but I can see how it could be offensive, too.
Fitz
It’s offensive, but I admit to saying the same type of thing about straight guys when I was young and in college. In my dorm we even had a drinking game of “can Fitz get you hard” where I had carte blanch for a few minutes with several of the guys. But that was like 4,000 years ago.

Put bluntly: that’s just fucking gross.. not to mention extraordinarily narcissistic, misogynist, and creepy. What a douche bag.
EdWoody
Considering that Omarion has long been rumured to be lovers with Lil Bow Wow, I find this rather unlikely.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
I am somehow trying to squeeze a kettle calling the pot black analogy here……
Not because he is Black, but because he has such an oh so very Gay face……..
Tony
Omarion is way hot (great body and one of those unbelievable great black man big round bubble butts)…and my gaydar vibrates a little when I hear him talk. Anyway, I’m sure Omarion is around youger women who do the fake “I’m bi” thing to attract men. I’m sure these are the type of “lesbians” who surround him..the types that were never really lesbians at all.

Omarion is a slimy little turd. He’s also indicative of black douchebag-ism. Add people like Kanye West and Jay-Z to the mix. They often get away with it because commentators in America are often too afraid to criticize blacks in case they get accused of racism. Thus you have a situation where blacks can get away almost with murder.
As for “turning lesbians straight”, this reflects the typical sense of entitlment that sleazy straight-identifying men often have. Any woman who falls for men like this deserves everything she gets. She’s nothing better than a whore.

As always Jason, fuck you, you racist douchebag troll.
As for Omarion, he’s just trying to deflect all the rumors about him and Bow Wow…nobody in hip-hop believes he’s ever been or ever will be straight so the little bitch is just playing the deflection game. I doubt he’s ever seen a vagina. If you google “Omarion”, “Omarion gay” is the first thing that pops up…

@james_from_cambridge: On the couple of occasions that I’ve seen Omarion perform or in an interview, I’ve got to say that he certainly seems to be hiding something. I witnessed a lot of DL behavior in the military; his behavior seems familiar.
That said, I have to agree with Jason that too often white commentators smile and nod at the crude behavior of a few black entertainers far too often when they would have made derogatory comments if the person had been white. It seems to me that it’s a case of the pendulum swinging too far in one direction, much like American politics has swung too far to the right. When these things happen, it’s often hard for some to recall where the center ever was, or should have been.

I’m sure that they do change around him. Mildly nauseous to violently ill.

@FreeRangeRadical: If those people exist it’s not on Queerty. Here they’ll jump on the anti-Black wagon immediately. And that wagon is almost exclusively driven by Jason and Queer Supremacist.

Actually I find James from Cambridge to be much more offensive than Jason. James has no problem using the N word (offensively) but then calls everyone else a racist. Even the victims of homophobic hate crimes he has called racist. James probably thinks the Jews were racist against the Nazis and deserved it. James apparently hates most whites and thinks they’re racists. And James hates many blacks too.
Normally I don’t advocate suicide, but in James’ case I can make an exception.
james_from_cambridge
@Kev C: Awwww…poor Kev. Forgot to take your meds today? I can’t be mad at ya; I’m sure living with the mental issues you have, well, it can’t be easy. And don’t bother denying it Kev…we discussed your long-term psychological and self-loathing issues on Towleroad and privately several times. Buck up! Things will get better!!! Someday you’ll get well enough where you, a Black man with self-esteem issues so bad you enjoy being denigrated, spit on, urinated on and called the “n” word by Whites during sex, won’t be defending racists like Jason and Queer Supremacist all over the internet.
Interesting
Sounds like classic straight male ego or bravado. “I am so hot everyone wants me.” Which really means, “I am not getting any so I got to front.” I swear this 50 something, fat, bald and short Italian guy once said to me, when I was in my 20s, that his problem with gay men is that they all want him. It took all I had not to puke. I still have no idea what fun house mirror he was looking at himself in.
FreakyLocz14
He might be the reason I’m gay. He was the first male crush I had.
Maybe he has his theory backwards.
Kev C
@james_from_cambridge: I don’t post at Towleroad. I know you’re PARANOID DELUSIONAL and think everyone is someone else and everyone is racist. We all know you don’t like hearing the TRUTH. The truth that blacks and their culture are the most homophobic in the world. So I said it again because I know it pisses you off and I intend to keep speaking the truth … Paranoid schizo.
James
Why does a post about Omarion saying something stupid turns into a being about black homophobia?Some of you really have a problem with black people and use that as a excuse to talk shit about black people.Let’s face it if you are a white gay person or a white wash black gay person you are not experiencing what’s going on in the black community.People should stick to what they know.

1. Omarian is currently trying to dodge gay rumours because his Carter is being stunted by them (that and the fact that is yet another young, sexy dude with dance moves in an allready flooded industry with a hundred other dudes with the same image).
2. Omarian’s tweeter behavior is most likely a premeditated action that kills two birds with one stone-
A. It gives him unpaid publicity to the a large section of the hip/RnB fan base.
B. It’s a piss poor attempt to dodge the gay rumours.
2. The issue of posters coming off racist for bringing up the ” Black entertainers getting away with derogatory statements” is more based on their presentation then their content. Hip hop is widely know for it’s homophia and it’s top artist are rarely called to task on this. The media fire storm that erupted over eminem’s anti gay lyrics and the issue of him being singled out is a prime, yet debatable example. Yet if you bring up the Tracy Morgan incident then the “Blacks get away with….” argument is counteracted.
So we can see that these issues are situationally selective. The discussion on this post has good points on both arguments. The presentations could have used a bit more tact?

Um, there are PLENTY of African Americans, gay and otherwise who are not homophobic.
To equate skin color with homophobia is at best stupid and at worst racist.
LGBT African Americans are a vital part of our movement for equality.

Omarian is a tragic example of a closeted young man who thinks that acting like a thug will deflect the gay rumors. Don’t smear all African Americans because if his stupidity.

Omarian can attract bisexual girls, wow. That’s amazing!
Equalitydecrypted
@Thomas, exactly! referring to negative aspects of entertainment figures and lumping in their entire cultural background is a gross generalization and racist. Focus on the individual and not the shade of their skin.
jason
If black culture is open-minded as some would claim, why haven’t there been any openly gay or bisexual black men in the music charts lately? I cannot even remember one. Considering how many black men hit the music charts, it’s quite astounding that not one – repeat, not one – is openly gay or bisexual.
All we get from the black music industry is sexism and homophobia. Black culture has caused this. Blacks have been allowed to get away with it because the PC media in America has been too afraid to criticize blacks. Homophobic black people hide behind their skin color.
I’m not saying, of course, that there aren’t some very fair and progressive black people out there. What I’m saying is that our society is full of homophobic black people who are being foisted onto us by the music industry, for instance.
Thomas
@jason: Michelle and Ladybird Bachmann are not black. Rick Santorum is
not black. Ann Coulter is not black. Tony Perkins is not black. Maggie Gallagher is not black. Peter LaBarbera is not black. Eminem is not black. Gordon Beckham is not black. The Pope is not black.
The aforementioned anti-gay bigots (or at least most of them) have platforms and push laws and policies that ACTUALLY damage LGBT Americans.
Omarian is at best an idiot with a twitter account.
I would wager your “analysis” of African American culture is overreaching.
JayKay
@Thomas:
Yeah, yeah, there are a lot of white homophobes. We know. However when you look at the loudest, most vocal, public supporters of gay rights, they’re almost exclusively white. Sure, you get the occasional Don Lemon or Wanda Sykes, but overall you don’t see the same balance in the black community as you do with whites.
james_from_cambridge
@Kev C: Nice save. Not. I know who you are and what your problems are so I can’t really hold your racist views against you; like I said, you have some deep-seated mental issues you’ve confessed to me elsewhere. Please take your meds.

My my. Can’t white people have ANYTHING to themselves anymore? This article belongs over on that site Baboons-R-Us, or Rod2.0 or something along those lines.
Fisrt a black (can you believe it? I sure didn’t) Norse God in the movie Thor and now here we are witnessing a borderline invasion of these people and their smut on white sites that were clearly set up and targeted at white gay men. I have heard from friends of mine that the Gay Pride Parade in NYC was shut down thanks to maruading black gays and lesbians. I do have a few black contacts (think woodpile) who have confirmed that it was true: the NYPD closed down the ENTIRE west village because of these people. It is also heavily rumored that after the sun goes down NO WHITE PEOPLE can be found in the village after Gay Pride. And keep in mind, it was started by white people who for whatever dumb reason caved in and invited these monkeys with the ability of speach to join in. It has dne nothing but gone down hill ever since considering how after 5pm, on a June evening, white people start watching the sun and it’s location more than what is left of the festivities. Shame on you northern white gays for allowing this to happen YEAR AFTER YEAR.
Have any of you imagined yourself a teacher HAVING to go (because of todays economy along with a useless black president) in front of a black inner city class and try to teach these apes? My lord, I have friends who were chastised by their fathers for not wanting to go hunting when they were kids but who now HAVE to carry guns. That turned out to be a good thing for many of them because now they understand that Affirmative Action be damned, they are white and our culture is being attacked.
Please keep these people and they hip-hop foolishnes over on BaboonsR…….Rod2.0. Thank you.

I really hope that the comment by “the Southern Belle” is an attempt at sarcasm and a joke because if not….

@lash: He might be one of those racist fuckers who doesn’t understand what sarcasm is. Sarcasm isn’t being racist and saying “j/k” at the end.

Clean up your act, Queerty! Reboot 2.0 won’t survive if s.p.a.m. like #15 crawls onto many threads, and violent speech in #17 and racist trolls in #30 go unchecked.
Do something.

@Henry: yeah that would’ve been in the style of the New Yorker. I’m just so in shock that I didn’t know what else to say. I also wondered why no one else noticed it.
Woozie
Belle, my dear, you did call it like it is. I have no doubt that you have been blocked, banned, or clandestinely praised by the readers of the site. I would love to read your oncore but as I said, one of the above has happened.
Let us hope someone can upstage your comments by saying how many black owned businesses support the pride parade. Though I will add I am not holding my breath on that one.

He looks likes he has molasses in his tank… maybe that’s why he’s trying to say he can straight us lady lovin women out. Talk about trying too hard to appear straight, honestly he looks more like he’d let a lesbian strap up and tear his sweet lil ass all to pieces… The nerve of some men.
