    I've noticed a pattern over the years. Whenever some celebrity's career is beginning to wane and they become desperate for a comeback, they pull the "gay" card. I highly doubt that she's really gay, because in women they can turn that thing on and off like a light switch. I just wonder why they feel the need to be so public about it, aside from the point that I made above: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ellen-page-comes-as-gay-680563

    Of course, I still see it as somebody starving for attention, especially after the idiocy that she displayed last summer: http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/j...ays-video-game-ripped-her-likeness-6C10423398

    Ellen Page looks like a hundred other young wannabe lesbos that I've seen out there, desperate to be noticed and appreciated, yet always found to be severely lacking in both areas after a short period of time. Next thing we know, they'll find her dead in a seedy apartment with a hypodermic needle stuck in her arm, surrounded by bags of heroin. :roll:

    Paco are you female? Can you turn that thing on and off like a light switch?

    Anyway as the old adage says any publicity is good publicity, not that I really think this counts as "bad" publicity.

    The more people that come out, the less "shock" value it will have and the less it will happen so that ought to make the social conservatives happy.

    Ellen Page? Never heard of her. What is she famous for?

    Hey, Paco! I have a bone to pick w/you.... whadda mean "women can turn that thing on and off like a light switch".....???

    I hope you're not serious b/c you're dead wrong. If a woman is straight, she's straight - which is ME. Same w/straight men, who are straight....

    I've never understood these women who can switch - like one of my favorite tv actresses, Meredith Baxter.... now that woman can ACT, but guess now she's a lesbian.... then there's Jodie Foster, who now claims she's one. I will never understand how they can change what they're attracted to....

    One of the mysteries of life, I guess........

    Anne Heche did, and so did DiBlasio's wife. It doesn't seem to be that uncommon for women. In the case of Ellen Page, she'll probably be back to dating dudes again within the next 15 years or so. But right now, the hot publicity is with going gay.

    She's been in that Inception movie from 2010 with Leonardo DiCaprio and a couple of the X-Men movies. Other than that, she's definitely not an A-lister.

    My younger sister came out of a bad relationship with her babydaddy a while back, "swore off men," and tried the lesbo thing for a while. It lasted all of one week or so before she got drunk with her girl and ended up beating the crap out of her. Since then, my sister went back to dating guys again, but not before I was able to properly roast her for failing to be a lesbian. :D

    Seriously though, I think women are gifted with the innate ability and social leniency of "clam-digging at will", as I call it. Women are naturally attracted toward sensuality over raw sex, and I can see how women are better able to be more sensual than us guys are, if for the simple fact that with women there is no invasive penetration involved, while men ultimately have to achieve insertion of some kind while rolling around in bed with a woman. Plus, you often hear straight women complimenting other women on how they look: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/12/why-straight-women-dig-wo_n_106724.html

    My wife does this a lot, often making a comment like "oh she's pretty" or "stop looking at her, Paco"; they can acknowledge the presence of a pretty woman nearby, and know when it's time to raise the red flag. Plus, there is an old adage, where if a woman goes gay once, that's okay. But when a man goes gay once, he's gay for life. :mrgreen:

    Actually, she's in about 2-3 movies a year. She's worth about $14,000,000.

    I'd say that she doesn't have to worry about staying relevant.

    Heh . . . on the other hand supposedly when Cybill Shepherd was asked why she always preferred men to women in the sack she replied, "Ultimately honey, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that schwing!" So I guess it just depends on what really 'does it' for a person.

    You are so right. It's a resume builder for many Hollywood celesbians.
    Don't forget Madonna, Angelina Jolie and many other faux lesbians who indeed, turn it off and on to suit their purposes. http://www.spike.com/articles/ezfay5/the-top-10-fake-lesbians-a-k-a-fauxmosexuals

    IS homosexuality strictly a matter of genes and not of choice? Strictly speaking, no. It isn't.

    Acknowledging an others beauty is a far cry from being physically attracted to them or wanting or being able to hop in the sack with them. My wife's straight and she could hop in the sack no easier with another woman than I could with a man, which is to say not at all. Not wired that way.

    Do I think some people can swing either way, sure, they're called bisexual, another human wiring heterosexuals or homosexuals are not cut out for.

    There's a spectrum of human sexuality, some have more choice than others.

    I don't agree with bisexuality as being a sexual orientation, in that they appear to be waaaay too interchangeable between homo- and heterosexual. When the choice is brought into play such as with bisexuality, it tosses the whole "being gay is not a choice" argument right out the window.

    I agree that there will inevitably be a medical terminology created for it -- sexual spectrum disorder; like fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, as it is now called -- that will ultimately lead to either treatment like with alcoholism, or even a possible cure if they ever track down that mythical "gay gene." This will inevitably lead to the Civil Rights Act being amended to include mental illness as a protected civil right. Quite frankly, protecting the rights of the mentally ill, like homosexuals for example, is something that has been long overdue in our society for quite some time now.

    It would seem that you make the claim that everybody is born bi-sexual and then most make the choice to decide on straight or gay. I guess that leaves the bi-sexual in the arena of not making a choice... and as the adage goes;

    " if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice"

    I'm not sure that I agree with your assumptions. I never decided anything, I am what I am and always have been. So tell us when did you decide to quit being bi-sexual?

    Personally I think it probably can be a choice for some, but not for others, just depends on the individual. Being heterosexual isn't a choice for me, no way, no how, couldn't go the other way. I gotta think most homosexuals are the same way, it is who they are, no changing it. Then you got the people in the middle, they may lean more one way than the other, but ultimately they can probably choose where others can not. I don't think anything is black and white so to speak.

    Where did I say that everyone is born bisexual? Bisexuality is concrete proof that there is a choice between being gay and being straight. I chose to be straight the moment that I started liking females. I'm sorry that I can't pinpoint the exact age for you, but it was when I was a little kid.

    So enough with the victimhood stance of "I was born gay, I never had a choice" crap. Making a choice to screw guys or girls is not a civil right. It can certainly be a sign of a mental illness, engaging in such deviant behavior, and I would fully support an amendment to the Civil Rights Act to include the protection of civil rights of the mentally ill, but I will not support the cop-out of "I never had a choice" as an excuse when bisexuals clearly make a choice.

    IIRC, didn't Ann Heiche say she got bored w/being a lesbian? And wasn't she with Ellen Degenaras? I don't know...... I never really pay attention to these idiots, but sometimes I hear stuff on the tube and sometimes I get it wrong.......

    Just remember that,, behaviorally, humans more resemble the bonobo than any other creature.

    AD/DC, the lot of them.

    Some just lean a little heavier to one side or the other.

    Nice limiting factor on the need to reproduce.

    What she said is she likes to have sex with other women. I also like to have sex with women but if I announced it no one would put it in the news. Am I being discriminated against?

    I hope more and more gay people come out the closet, just so I can watch more and more rightwing Christian barbarians be outraged over it.

    It's only news because there are millions of hate-filled bigots in the world who think they should stay in the closet. Otherwise, everyone would just shrug and move on with their day.

    No need for the hostility I was just intrigued by your belief that every one was born bi-sexual. I myself don't believe that.

    That is totally WRONG. The bonobo is non-violent.

    She was the lead and title character in the movie Juno, which was a mediocre movie but was critically acclaimed because of the typical liberal fare you see in those types of movies.

    After that movie, her career was supposed to take off but there is little doubt it fizzled. She has been a supporting actress in a few movies (Inception and an X-Men movie or two) but the leading roles simply are not there, and she is not really an "in demand" actress.

    The only reason that movie stars have to "come out" in the first place is to shortchange the tabloids that rake in a bunch of money with all their "Are they or aren't they" stories.




    Just something to think about.

    Nobody comes out as straight. There's a reason for that.

    Nobody gets shocked, disappointed, hurt, ashamed, insulted, with a hair on their ass, afraid for your soul when a person is straight. This process, and this thread, exist because there are still those who make being gay a big deal. Stop it!
