"omission". It's a glaring "omission". I'm sick to death of these figure skating critics and their sloppy word selection. Why do they always get a free pass?

The mind boggles. Too gay for figure skating ... That sentence is like an Escher painting. Look at it too long and your head starts to hurt.

I bet johnny weir would loved to be blackballed... but seriously folks, johnny's blackball is a more tasteful number with sequins.

Maybe if we just ignore the gays, they will go away!

I honestly made it about halfway through this post before I realized I was confusing Johnny Weir with Jonny Mosely. The sad thing is, I wasn't surprised to (mistakenly think that I) read that Mosely was gay.

Are they afraid of alienating their homophobic male fanbase?

If they ban gay males from figure skating, the sport will cease to exist.

you really believe that Spokane is the home to any big tymers? This is the kind of place where Jon Stockton's dad lives.

I think Frinklin said it perfectly. Too gay for men's figure skating?

Judges' explanation: we give Lysacek extra points for being so heterosexual, his equipment clearly outlined in his sequined spandex jumpsuit while performing triple luxes (luxii?). And was that Whitney Houston or Celine Dion that originally composed the tune to which he performed? So manly! I am hoping my daughter, Gary, meets someone like him one day.

How can you possibly be too gay for men's figure skating?
