Aiken: Rude, Disrespectful, Homophobic, Sexist?
Kelly Ripa suggested Rosie O'Donnell be more "responsible" after O'Donnell accused her of making a homophobic remark about Clay Aiken. I think the comment about Regis is the most accurate.
I've seen three different clips about this Aiken thing, and I still haven't see n what was allegedly homophobic? Just that silly "I don't know where that hand has been?" I don't even like Kelly Ripa and i think i'm on her side here.
Bottom line, anytime you put your (unwanted) hands on someone else, you are taking a SERIOUS risk and, more often than not, a STUPID risk. Would a man do this to another man, I SERIOUSLY doubt it...proof that sexism is still alive and well in our society.
Additionally, I do not see evidence of homophobia here...poor choices in words and actions, definitely.
