Pop and R&B singer Kelis, known primarily for her hits "Milkshake" and "Bossy", has hopped on Twitter to express her frustrations with closeted men in a series of tweets. Check them out below:
- "I would like to talk about closet homosexuals for just a moment. Let me start by asking, why?….."
- "Gay is gay, no amount of women or fornication will change that and will honestly only make u look stupid. That's just food for thought."
- "We women do not appreciate it or even get it for that matter. We much rather just shop with u! 🙂 closet dwellers you know who you are!"
One could speculate this is her backhanded way of outing her ex-hubby Nas, though it may just be a general complaint. Aside from that, does anyone think reinforcing the stereotype that "gay men love to pick fabulous outfits" isn't exactly the best method of encouraging men on the DL to come out?
Perhaps I'm just projecting from my own personal experiences, but I was definitely afraid to come out in high school because I suspected female friends would want me to be the Jack to their Karen. With that said, I'd totally flip a shit if Kelis took me shopping. Hell, I'd even limp my wrist and wear a rainbow thong if she asked me to. Just sayin'.
