IF a boy is dancing at a club somewhere that isn’t a bar, I don’t think its my business, unless he’s being abused.
The bar would have lost its license instantly and no one would go along with losing their license.
I don’t believe an 11 year old is dancing in a bar… full stop… unless its not in the US. Oh and you have no idea, Jaden may well actually be gay. Paranoia is not good for anyone.įor the record, I think it is awesome that they do this, and think nothing of it, I don’t think they are putting anyone down, and I think the quicker the gay community learns that most people are not out to hurt them, but that they need to be careful of those who are and FRIENDS WITH THOSE WHO AREN’T, the better. Now I grant, at their age, those who constantly look for everything to be a putdown, because they instantiated crap from extremist parents or religions may have more difficulty because they automatically ASSUME that everything is really a putdown – and to them I say, please, if you have insurance get therapy – people have damaged you – it isn’t your fault but you should not have to live that way. Everybody has a gay friend, and unless a kid is from a crazily fundamentalist family gay and straight boys hang around all the time – but even when I was young, if you were cool with it, you were completely loved by your straight friends, I always was. It’s OK in their generation to be gay or bi, let me repeat that, its OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The fact that you can’t imagine it just being “normal” to be gay, my son is their age and its completely normal. Oh for the sake of the goddess and the god, grow up. I do not know what is wrong with so many gay guys – I guess I can grasp it intellectually, but not in my heart. Jaden and Justin are playing – let them play – and if they are serious, let them be serious. I still have some of those friends and a lot of other ones. Now I could have acted like a piece of crap and been offended and angry and whatever, and probably it would have ended much differently, but I didn’t. My straight friends joked with me, and teased me and rather than getting bent out of shape I played right along with it, and the end result was that not only did I retain my popularity, I graduated with the majority of MALE votes for most popular male in my class. I was very lucky – I was very popular before and after I came out – in a day more homophobic than this. Why do you assume that Jaden is not bi or gay and/or genderfluid? What gives YOU the right to dictate his life? Even if he isn’t, I think it is wonderful that these friends can joke like this. If Jaden isn’t actually coming out then he needs to end this whole thing cuz it’s massively disrespectful to all of the other people in history who’ve decided to genuinely come out at great personal risk cuz coming out is a very serious and personal thing. and I don’t think a lot of other people believed it either or he wouldn’t have had to double down on it so many times cuz people don’t generally dismiss an attempt at coming out (as far as I’m aware) but they will If their bs meter is going off like in this case. Is it possible Jaden actually is gay or bi or anything less than cis hetero yeah, do I personally believe his “coming out” is genuine and he’s actually gay or anything like that no.
On one hand I think it says something positive about society that we’ve reached a point where a famous person can flirt with the idea of coming out and not immediately get crucified for it, but on the flip side coming out should NOT be something that gets reduced to a joke. Ok first time around jaden’s attempt at trolling by announcing he had a boyfriend (Tyler laughed it off btw) was mildly annoying but whatever it was what it was, now with this being his second attempt at this please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks this has gone from annoying to flat out disrespectful.
