CNN's Don Lemon Slams In-Your-Face Homosexual Johnny Weir

I like Don Lemon. He's homosexual, but pragmatic about it. And for the most part he analyzes the issues from a position of reason.

And so I'm not surprised at all that the CNN commentator just rips this flamboyant idiot homosexual Johnny Weir for his aggressive gay-baiting as a commentator at the Sochi games.

At Big Journalism, "GAY CNN HOST ON JOHNNY WEIR: 'NO ONE LIKES A GAY MINSTREL SHOW'":

On Friday, CNN host Don Lemon, who is gay, said that Johnny Weir's flamboyance could turn people off because nobody likes "a gay minstrel show."

Weir, the former American Olympian and figure skater who is now an NBC analyst at the Sochi Games, has made a name for himself in Sochi by wearing outfits that have as flamboyant as those he wore when he was skating competitively. He has been analyzing figure skating events with fellow US Olympian Tara Lipinksi, and the duo have been called "fabulous."

"And let me just say this I had this conversation with a friend about Johnny Weir and other people who have, who are out and proud," Lemon said on CNN's Newsroom program to host Carol Costello. "No one likes a gay minstrel show. So let's just put that out there."
Lemon said he was referring to "someone who is flamboyant and over the top and all of those it seems those are the people who get the attention but they don't represent all of gay America." He also emphasized that he was not saying anything bad about flamboyant gay people and that there was nothing wrong with that, in his opinion

"Johnny Weir doesn't have to represent all of gay people. Johnny Weir is fabulous. He is flamboyant. He is who he is," Lemon continued. "I've met him several times. I really like him. And I think that we should be happy that Johnny Weir is Johnny Weir and we should leave people like John Becker if they want to be gay activists to be gay activists, people who actually do a really good job at it and just let Johnny Weir be Johnny Weir."

Lemon emphasized that Weir should not have to be a "gay activist just because he's gay" just like "everyone who is African-American" does not have to be a "black activist just because they are black. Johnny Weir is Johnny Weir."
