Jay Leno: Homophobic Bully? You decide.
I found this story on Towleroad and HAD to share. Jeff Whitty, Avenue Q writer, breaks down a really nasty interaction between Jay Leno and not-but-hopefully-gay Ryan Phillippe on his luscious site whitless.com. He's also written an "open" letter to Jay which is worth a read!

So according to Jay Leno, if you play a gay character on TV, and then you are also naked in a commercial - there is a theme?! WTF? I wasn't aware that gay=naked. Especially since gay men usually dress better than anyone else. Hmmmm.
I know! The whole exchange is SO odd. It's such a classic bullying based on really antiquated stereotypes and macho posturing.
