henrietta. Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Cee Lo Green came under fire Friday for sending a tweet that some deemed to be homophobic. The "Forget You" singer sent the tweet to music editor Andrea Swensson after she negatively critiqued his Thursday performance with Rihanna at the Target Center in Minneapolis. "I respect your criticism, but be fair!" The Voice coach wrote Friday. "People enjoyed last night! I'm guessing you're gay? And my masculinity offended you? Well f*** you!" But Green, 37 -- who later deleted the tweet -- tells Us Weekly that he spoke too soon. "She was very critical of me. At the time I didn't even know what gender the person was. I was being a little outspoken that night, a little outrageous," he tells Us. "I always expect people to assume that everything I do is part of my character and sense of humor. I assumed that whoever it was would assume it was all in good fun. It wasn't taken so well, apparently." Greeen -- who mentors aspiring singers each week on NBC's The Voice alongside Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine -- wants his fans to know that he isn't a homophobe. "I most certainly am not harboring any sort of negative feeling toward the gay community. I don't have an opinion on people with different religious, sexual or political preferences," he explains. "I'm one of the most liberal artists that I think you will ever meet, and I pride myself on that. Two of the remaining members that I have on my team on The Voice are proud and outspokenly gay. We just did a team performance of 'Everyday People,' and I picked that song for us to do specifically to highlight how we can get along even though we’re so different." Though he regrets his choice of words, Green tells Us he shouldn't "have to apologize for speaking my mind or defending my performance." "If I could take it all back, I would. I was not being serious," he says. "I just wanted to defend our performance. It was only our third show with a whole new crew and we were all really proud about the progress that we had made." I highlighted the important parts. http://www.usmagazine.com/moviestvmusic/news/the-voices-cee-lo-green-addresses-homophobic-tweet-controversy-2011186 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleidoscope Eyes Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Am I the only one not phased by homophobia? I mean, I get that it slows down social progress and equal rights and all, but we just have to wait for these past generations to just die off already. We can already see the tolerance and acceptance among the younger generations, so I'm not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Even a man who thought that women want to have sex with their fathers and that women spend much of their lives distraught because they lack a penis is right sometimes. This person, the legend that is Sigmund Freud, theorized that people often have the most hateful and negative attitudes towards things they secretly crave, but feel that they shouldn't have. If Freud is right, then perhaps men who are the most opposed to male homosexuality have particularly strong homosexual urges for other men. One study asked heterosexal men how comfortable and anxious they are around gay men. Based on these scores, they then divided these men into two groups: men that are homophobic, and men who are not. These men were then shown three, four-minute videos. One video depicted straight sex, one depicted lesbian sex and one depicted gay male sex. While this was happening, a device was attached to each participant's penis. This device has been found to be triggered by sexual arousal, but not other types of arousal (such as nervousness, or fear - arousal often has a very different meaning in psychology than in popular usage). When viewing lesbian sex and straight sex, both the homophobic and the non-homophobic men showed increased penis circumference. For gay male sex, however, only the homophobic men showed heightened penis arousal. Heterosexual men with the most anti-gay attitudes, when asked, reported not being sexually aroused by gay male sex videos. But, their penises reported otherwise. Homophobic men were the most sexually aroused by gay male sex acts. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-big-questions/201106/homophobic-men-most-aroused-gay-male-porn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
