Johnny Weir Bombshell Revelation! “I’m Gay,” Declares Skater Johnny Weir!

Posted by Adam

SORRY, ladies! Johnny Weir isn’t interested!

The famed figure skater has shockingly confessed that he’s gay!

“With people killing themselves and being scared into the closet, I hope that even just one person can gain strength from my story,” Weir said, according to AfterElton.

In his new memoir, Welcome to My World, Weir talks about his childhood when he was often mistaken for a little girl. He also mentions an affair he had with another male skater he refers to only as “Alex.”

Weir also discusses the pressure he felt from gay websites who “couldn’t figure out why I was such a jerk that I wouldn’t talk it [being gay].”

“A lot of the gays got downright angry about my silence,” he said. “But pressure is the last thing that would make me want to ‘join’ a community.

“I’m not ashamed to be me. More than anyone else I know, I love my life and accept myself. What’s wrong with being unique? I am proud of everything that I am and will become.”

This is a bombshell? You would have to be an idiot not to know this boy is gay!!
Doc
I thought he was out. Either way I wish him the best
Ron
I LOVE JOHNNY… but cmon now…. John… we love you.. but we KNEW….
vic
DUH!!
Kade Madison
And in other bombshell news, the earth is reportedly round. This is the biggest “duh” of the 21st century. Was there actually one woman out there really thinking he was straight ? I love when people have to tell you what you already know, so there was no need for him to divulge his private life.

Johnny Weir
This is what gays do to sell books- admit they’re gay.

Rick
Oh, no! Say it ain’t so, Johnny!

You had to be living under a rock to not know Johnny was gay.

Bruce
My gaydar has always been on the money. I have been approached by men all my life. It doesn’t bother me one bit. I am lad I appeal to both sexes. I think I knew when I got a gander of one of his performance outfits with the black feathers. L O V E D IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim B
OK, all you homophobes who already “knew” for a fact the Johnny Weir was gay….how were you SO certain? Maybe it’s time to look at yourselves and wonder why your “gaydar” is so on target??!! Either blatant homophobia or unresolved closeted issues involving yourselves. To the point….how many of you assumed that the late actor John Ritter was gay because of his TV roles and “effeminate” demeanor?

Johnny Weir
You must have been one of those living under a rock to not “know” how everyone else “knew” Johnny Weir is gay.
Why so defensive anyway?

Terry
Wow, really? Did not know he was gay? That’s as surprising as when Lance Bass, Neil Patrick Harris, T.R. Knight, Ricky Martin and Clay Aiken came out! *in my Mindy from “The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy” voice* And in case you didn’t know, that was sarcasm!

Lenalou
I actually had no idea Neil Patrick Harris was a homosexual. That was a surprise. Everyone else, no shock. Johnny Wierd, c’mon, gay at first skate.
Carolyn
I agree with you a bit. lol. Neil shocked me a bit but at the same time, I hadn’t seen him in years until I saw him on American Idol. Now Johnny Weir, no shocker hear. I love Johnny though.

There is only ONE JUDGE!!! GOD !! What makes people think they have the RIGHT to JUDGE ANYONE. They deserve the same RIGHTS as the rest of us. GET OVER IT as TIME has FINALLY COME to be on their side. GOD BLESS YOU JOHNNY & may you have a LONG & HAPPY LIFE!!
Terry
And in response to Jim B’s comment: You don’t have to be a homophobe to pick up on it; I’m bi and I could really pick up on it.
No shit!
No shit shirlock! You would have to be living underneath a rock all your life to know he wasn’t gay.
shadow
I can’t believe how the concept of sarcasm escapes so many people ROFL…but I applaud him, he’s an AWESOME performer and athlete!
Jocelyn
Johnny Weir is gay? Today’s other shocking headlines…..the sky is blue, water is wet.
Juan
Like we say in Spanish, “Loca, pleaseeee”!!! We knew it.
Richard
I knew it! I don’t know what tipped me off, maybe the feathers and hand gestures.
shadow
What difference does his sexual orientation make? He was still brave to come out, tho he never nade a effort to hide it (obviously) GO JOHNNY! rock that ice baby!

Carolyn
Lol
hrtnurse
I think he was even braver to go out in public in those flaming outfits that make him look FLAMING gay!!!

Brian
Um, he skated in lingerie and a pink boa. The huge news would have been if it read “Johnny Weir marries super model – he’s not gay”! Now I would be shocked to read that.
Ninobabe
So is she a lesbian now? (-:
Marielle
I am still laughing. C’mon, Johnny. Who did you think was going to be surprised? Your grandmother, maybe. Besides, we don’t care what your sexual orientation is. Just keep skating!
Marielle
I have a very good gaydar and NEVER assumed that John Ritter was gay. Where did that come from?
Nobody
Romans 1:24 (New International Version, ©2010)
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
Chris
Johnny is wonderful. Skating, singing, hosting, writing – in or out doesn’t matter.
jay
queer Is all that is sick and wrong with the world.I cant believe this sick person is allowed to represent our country.A drug addict and pervert is a horriable role model for olympic athletes.

Chris
Drug addict? How so?

Karen
