Skater Johnny Weir not invited to participate in Stars on Ice because he is ‘not family friendly.’

http://thinkprogress.org/2010/03/11/weir-uninvited/

abbyjean:

Weir won an online poll that asked fans who they wanted to see in the tour, but Stars on Ice seems to have barred him because of his “perceived sexual orientation.”

BOOOOOOOOOOOO.

His “perceived” sexual orientation? What the shit? So if he publicly identified as straight, but continued to wear sequins and skate to Lady GaGa, would that solve the problem, or would the “perception” still be the same and therefore unacceptable? Stars On Ice, I am confused by your bullshit terminology.
