The blogs and gay message boards have been buzzing with talk about Brian McFadden’s recent comments on a New Zealand radio show about the colour pink, and more specifically, its fraught relationship with heterosexuality. Of course, Brian being a fool with an overinflated sense of himself, decided that now was the perfect time to unleash his homophobia and say the following:

“If you are not gay, a man should not be wearing pink. Saying pink is a form of red is the same as saying homosexual is a form of male.”

What does that even mean? Is he just bit of a thick and completely misarticulated his very basic thoughts? Has he just completed some new groundbreaking research in a lab in his garden shed, and between strumming on his guitar and belting out some ballads he has discovered that gays are actually a type of genderless wood elf? What’s going on Brian?

You know what Brian, you’re cruising for a Slayer shaped boot to the face. The outcry about this has been minimal on our side of the pond, perhaps reflective more of Brian’s rather sickly star status than an apathy towards homophobia. You do have to wonder however, if his comments were a slur upon another minority, would the outcry be much louder?

And I have to wonder in all of this, what does Mark, his former Westlife bandmate and out gay man has to think about this. I’d like to think he rang Brian up and gave him a bollocking, or at least a “what the hell are you talking about??”. I’m sure however, if this is the way Brian carries on, that they’re not talking, but for a multitude of reasons. Bad form Brian. You absolute tosser.

Oh, and what’s this I see? Brian, a full blooded male, wearing pink? Hypocritical, homophobic TOSSER.
