JESSIE J GAY headline

So the headline on ahem 'The Sun' is 'JESSIE GAY'

(disclaimer - mother works in newsagents, not a paper I would read)

AIBU to think 'it's 2012, who the hell cares?' by having such a massive headline it makes it seem like its some massive secret thing, like it's a huge shocking thing!

I just think its not a big deal... Or at least it shouldn't be sensationalist headline material. People are allowed to be gay ffs. (I don't know if it's true having not read the article but really... What does it matter?! I'll still buy her music because sexual preference does
Not affect her voice!)

Don't know why it got me so wound up but really... AIBU to think it shouldn't be a front page headline?

Yeah her shtick is a bit tiresome, close your eyes and mouth along with the song.

Not as annoying as William though (refuse to call him Will.iam, silly name).

I thought she had already said in an interview that she was bi. She seems like a nice girl. Daft as a brush, but nice.

You are so right I would rather them answer the question 'how is Jessie j's hair so shiny' rather than 'is Jessie gay?'

I just read she had a stroke at 18! I didn't know that either.

Simon Cowell is actually gay. Fact.

Agincourt · 19/04/2012 16:00

Isnt she a lesbian rather than a gay?

squoosh · 19/04/2012 16:01

In the Metro yesterday it said Simon Cowell had regular colonic irrigation treatments to keep him all sparkly eyed.

The things you learn on the commute . . . . . . . .

Someone in the "know" told me that George Michael is straight and has been married for years and had children Confused

SpaghettiTwirlerAndProud · 19/04/2012 16:01

Anyone else think JessieJ looks a lot like Mystic Meg?

scottishmummy · 19/04/2012 16:02

lol someone who doesnt know about boy love and lube then

NoWayNoHow · 19/04/2012 16:05

Not read the Sun, but from the story on other websites, it looks like the actual story is more about how the record company told her to pretend to be bi rather than gay as it's more "exotic" and "fashionable".

Says a lot more about the record company than the news outlets reporting the story, imo.

sweetkitty · 19/04/2012 16:06

scottishmummy - I was a bit Hmm as well but apparently it's common knowledge double Hmm this is from a well known celeb in Scotland btw

Is Zachary Quinto gay as well I'm rather find of him

vogonmothership · 19/04/2012 16:06

I saw the Sun headline this morning and thought it was offensive and immature. Also who gives a flying fuck?

DontHaveAtv · 19/04/2012 16:08

A shit headline for a shit paper.
Who really cares.
I also want to know how her hair is so shiny.

scottishmummy · 19/04/2012 16:08

George Michael openly talks about being gay

Pan · 19/04/2012 16:08

The track Big White Room isabout her time in hospital at the time of her stroke, and the little boy she befriended whilst there.
So dd tells me.

PosieParker · 19/04/2012 16:12

Wow GAY, what's gay???? I've never heard of anyone being gay before.

[pops back from the 1970s]

Who cares?

Lueji · 19/04/2012 16:15

Lueji · 19/04/2012 16:18

Ah, now I know. I quite like her song Price Tag.

toofattorun · 19/04/2012 16:19

I think you'll find that she does do it like a man dem...
Plus that's a wig, not her real hair.

toofattorun · 19/04/2012 16:22

Her hair is shiny because she eats a lot of vag veg.

mamataurus · 19/04/2012 16:27

It's 2012 and we(well certain media) still think it's a big deal to be gay???? pathetic, headline news???? for Pete's sake. Jessie J is cool anyway.

Lorelilee · 19/04/2012 16:30

It is a well known fact that GM is only gay because he hasn't met ME yet! Tsk!
