Bogus lesbians 'causing emotional damage'

Celebrity lesbian flings are being blamed for the surge of 'fauxmosexuals'.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson recently 'came out' about their relationship.






The boom in women pretending to be lesbians to attract attention is leaving a trail of emotional destruction, according to a social commentator.
Several high-profile relationships involving "real lesbians" and women more often linked to men — such as MTV's Ruby Rose and Jess Origliasso, and Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan — have reportedly encouraged a wave of "fauxmosexuals" on the real life party circuit.

Gay social commentator Tim Duggan has described the "lesbian trend" as a fad which is actually doing "more damage than good".
"Experimentation is healthy — what it leads to can sometimes be a great thing, but you need to wonder what effect [fake lesbians] are having on women," said Mr Duggan, co-founder of gay and lesbian site SameSame.
"Women who pretend to be lesbians do it to titillate men.
"The current trend of gay acceptance is a Trojan horse: on the surface it's 'wow, isn’t it great, it's being talked about', but it's not real acceptance — it's a titillating, easy-on-the-eyes acceptance."
Online gay forums are abuzz with talk of the "bogus lesbian" craze, with some questioning whether the trend is putting real homosexuals at risk.
"Where do these fauxmosexual fads leave queer teens once they're packed away in the cupboard (with other fads)?," user timbo84 wrote.
"The statistic of 30 percent of teen suicides in the US being gay or lesbian teens is very distressing.
"Here's hoping pop culture moves on to focus on people like Ellen and Ian McKellen and not those who are just 'out' to make a buck!"
Mr Duggan said the impact of "celesbians" — stars who use alternative lifestyles as marketing ploys — is something which can no longer be ignored.
"When straight celebrities like Katy Perry come out and sing about kissing girls and liking it, you have to wonder what impact that has on the playground," he said.
Perry rocketed to the top of the singles chart, both locally and overseas, after her song "I Kissed A Girl" became a worldwide smash.
MTV VJ Ruby Rose was seen locking lips with Veronicas twin Jess Origliasso at a Sydney nightclub in March.
Rose, 22, later stressed the two were "just friends" during a tell-all interview where she revealed she came out when was just 12 years old.
Earlier this month, Rose was spotted kissing Australia's Next Top Model contestant Samantha Downie at a Rolling Stone magazine party.

If the kids are looking up to Lindsay Lohan for anything, they got more issues going on than just if they are choosing to be gay or not.

It's funny how a woman can have a "gay" stage, and then go right back to being straight and everybody buys it.

But if a dude says, "Yeah, I used to have sex with guys but now I'm straight"...

BTW, the new first carousel picture on the home page is substantially better than the Clay Aiken one when it came out.

What's that guy say in the Sarah Marshall movie promo..."I just went from six to midnite!"

Yes, the new pic is much better. I think that girl in the background wants to join in too.

Hey look, now they can have their own high school too.

This is DEFINITELY where I parked my car

After carefully reviewing the article and exploring all angles with out prejudice I’ve decided ….I’m OK with this
Its fun to watch, and the so called emotional damage is no more than some one getting dumped in a straight relationship which happens every day but no ones writing articles about how dangerous that is,
Just good American fun

The blonde in the back looks pissed off, I would assume because she's not involved....

As long as it's hot young girls, I say great! However, if a male does this, he is gay. period. Guys don't play that way, even as a joke.

I noticed how Chase did not comment on this thread.....

Nothing about that time they "experimented" in high school or college with their sexy girlfriend just to see what it would be like...

I plead the 5th on this topic.....

Stern Show...coming up!
