Skater Johnny Weir not invited to participate in Stars on Ice because he is ‘not family friendly.’

Weir3 Glaad reports that sponsors have “refused to allow” American figure skater Johnny Weir to join the Stars on Ice Tour because they deemed him “not family friendly.” While Weir — a three-time national champion — has never “officially announced his sexual orientation, he has garnered a significant amount of LGBT fans” and is also known for his flashy costumes. Weir won an online poll that asked fans who they wanted to see in the tour, but Stars on Ice seems to have barred him because of his “perceived sexual orientation”:

To say that Weir is “not family friendly” would be a clear jab at his perceived sexual orientation. Weir is extremely involved with his family. He is putting his younger brother through college, and supports the family financially because his father’s disability prohibits him from working. Weir’s dedication to his family can be clearly documented in the Sundance series, Be Good Johnny Weir, which follows him and his family and friends through his life and career as a championship skater.

After a sixth place finish at the Vancouver Olympics, Weir announced he would take a break from competitive skating, but Glaad notes that “does not release the Stars on Ice sponsors from asking him to participate.”

    – - This is pretty much the same people who are slaves to watching American Idol. Hel-LOOOOOO?


  2. Purple State is sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline says:

    Gee, Pez, did Johnny Weir ever say he was a homosexual? Did anyone say he was a homosexual?

    Or are you “profiling”?


  3. evangenital says:

    Again, the Peztilence and his kind trying to f**k up a thread early on.

    Corporate sports and corporate religion are a dangerous mix.

    If Glenn Beck had even the slightest clue about what fascism really is, he would be appalled and aghast, as so many smart and good people are.

    The “Jew” was the enemy, the other, the undesirable in the Third Reich.

    The “Gay” is today’s enemy, the other, the undesirable.

    Crack a book sometime, Peztilence.

    You might learn a thing or two.

    Again the homo and his kind attempting to “icky up” a wholesome occasion with their weird sex rites.

    I’m not sure which wholesome occassion your Messiah Ashburn ickied up, but it’s shameful how quickly you’ve thrown him under the bus.


  5. spearNmagicHelmet says:

    can we get a vatican spokesman to show us the true meaning of family values?


  6. P.D. says:

    This has got to end. The gay and lesbian Community should receive the same amount of respect everyone else is afforded. There is another case where an lesbian couple were denyed to go to the prom and when the ACLU stepped in, they cancelled the prom~! That was a direct act of retailiation. In that case, the school is tempting physical violence against this young woman. I will never understand the Righties fear of ‘Teh Gay’.


  7. pags2 says:

    Just think if Vegas and many TV shows took the same position with Liberace. I don’t recall anyone saying he was not family friendly. He appeared on many programs that were during prime time and geared toward family viewing.


  8. dasm says:

    So Stars on Ice is a homophobic, hateful, dishonest association? Are they nuts?? They just alienated at least 75% of the best skaters! (I’m including women who support gay skaters– and there are very, very many.) Someone must demand that Stars on Ice define “family friendly” in very explicit terms. Homophobes.


  9. calavzma says:

    While Weir — a three-time national champion — has never “officially announced his sexual orientation, he has garnered a significant amount of LGBT fans”

    asides from the LBGT fans i would imagine weir also has a great many female fans.

    a figure who’s fans primarily consist of women and members of the gay community? SHOCKING!

    those are the people who like figure skating

    couldn’t this be said about every male figure skater?
    right down to the flashy costumes and lets not forget makeup… its a part of the sport

    this is just bizarre.

    i am not a fan of figure skating, i watched none of it… but it seems like stars on ice is trying to make a strange statment

    i did, however, enjoy the hockey.

  11. Mr. Sonia Herecomestheangst (sponsored by the Salmon & French Fries union) says:

    I can’t say I’m surprised. Weir didn’t make a friend of PETA by wearing fur on his skating attire and “Be Good Johnny Weir” was like a one-man gay Amos and Andy.


  12. Beam me up Scotty says:

    Smuckers and IMG Entertainment are setting a bad example for our children. Intolerance is bad.
    Boycott.


  13. House of Roberts says:

    …Stars on Ice seems to have barred him because of his “perceived sexual orientation”

    Stars on Ice knows that the typical redneck TV watcher thinks that all male figure skaters are gay, or else they would be playing hockey.


  14. spearNmagicHelmet says:

    i have no idea who this guy is but it seems he’s not afraid to be who he is regardless of who likes it.

    that’s admirable and you have to respect that.


  15. had enough says:

    Gee, Pez, did Johnny Weir ever say he was a homosexual? Did anyone say he was a homosexual?

    Or are you “profiling”?

    Pez is one of too many obsessed over the matter due to fears of being gay.


  16. zxbe says:

    And discrimination apparently is family friendly.

    I’m sorry that the state of your typical hetero family is so fragile that a guy in flashy clothes can be the breaking point.


  21. tombaker says:

    but what is “family friendly” is a bunch of 16-year-old girls flashing their bottoms around on skates for an hour or two.

    creepy church daddies just love that, and their obedient, traditionally-married spouses know they’re way better off turning a blind eye to it.


  22. SoapBox says:

    So Johnny is not one of my favorite male skaters…yes, I admit that his style is just a bit too “something” for me.

    BUT…this ticks me off. This company, via innuendo, says he’s gay? And how the hell do they know that he is “not family friendly”? …he is probably very friendly to familes.
    It’s another of the GOPeer/Rushpubic/TeaScumBag style of things, the “whisper” campaign.

    I’m gonna send off a note…you can too!

    This illustrates the difference between Liberal Family Values and Conservative Family Values.

    Liberals are true believers of including all family as family.

    Conservatives have perverted values that cannot be called Family by any means.

    Son the homos aren’t the only ones who can “icky up” a family friendly occasion, remember me and your mother on your eighth birthday? Darn that was a good time, was pulling cake out of my neither regions for days though.


  25. P.D. says:

    What is ‘Family Friendly’ in sports anymore? Watching sports, you are bombarded with images of beer drinking goofs, scantily clad women and Boner Pill commercials. Is that ‘Family Friendly’?


  26. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    C’mon, not “family friendly”? name on family that doesn’t have a glittery gay uncle who dresses like they raided liberace’s closet and takes care of the old folks in the family


  27. pete says:

    I guess that Joe Namath, “Dandy” Don Meredith, and Frenchy Fuqua, will be written out of history now.


  28. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    “Again the homo and his kind attempting to “icky up” a wholesome occasion with their weird sex rites.”

    because clearly, figure skating hasn’t attracted gay men participants since it’s inception, assclown

    As long as it isn’t a gay guy in the sports arena, a commercial with a guy drinking a gay beer (SNL’s Shmitt’s Gay beer parody), scantly clad men dressed as women and a gay guy with a boner these fundies will rarely complain about the normal programming.


  30. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    hey tard@30,
    dude’s not asking to get married, dude’s asking to skate

    pezmiztix says:
    barry is against same sex marriage. why are you not accusing him of the same bigotry?

    Because he’s not a homophobic retard like you.


  32. dbadass says:

    why are you not accusing him of the same bigotry?

    because I am more interested in why you do what you do. I mean it is so bizaree and abnormal. We both know that and that is exactly why you hide it from your family.


  33. What the GOP REALLY means ... says:

    There’s a real perv behind the computer and his name is pezmiztix.


  34. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    hey tard@35,
    what legal rights do you get for skating?
    how about marriage.
    only a total idiot would conflate the two


  35. dbadass says:

    As you notice the beat down of the pathetic no lifer continues unabated. Not that this reguires me to exert much energy…


  36. tombaker says:

    can we get a ruling on this from the “family-friendly” California GOP guy who just got dui busted outside of club fabulous?

    or maybe some of those “celibate” family friendly catholic priests would care to weigh in?


  37. thinkfirst123 says:

    Hi folks

    Queer figure skating fan here.

    This story about Weir & SOI is a rumor. It has not been shown to be based in fact.

    Posting this without fact checking is the kind of rumor-mongering one expects from FOX News.

    Not every claim about homophobia is true.

    And if we’re concerned about facts and evidence, then let’s not just spread rumors without any basis for them.


  38. dbadass says:

    are there any sincere conservative here tonight? I am looking for a few sincere conservatives…


  39. Mr. Pezmiztix says:

    Forgive young pezmiztix here…we have a stupid gene that runs in my side of the family and it skipped a generation (me) and not Pez.

    Not using steroids or performance enhancing drugs because they are Pandora’s Box meets King Kong, having a local sports radio host suddenly do three hours of death penalty debate because two teenage girls are killed and the community has gone mad, parents can’t hit their kids but they can mutilate ligaments if they think it’ll help their kids “draft stock” and parents will fight parents over balls and strikes after they remove their Snuggies.


  41. dbadass says:

    we have a stupid gene that runs in my side of the family and it skipped a generation (me) and not Pez.

    Yes, in fact I would guess he is “homozygous” for the condition…


  42. Mr. Pezmiztix says:

    Forgive my son, he lives in a very small ignorant world and he is a (to use his word) simpleton.


  43. tombaker says:

    discrimination of any kind, in any arena, is still discrimination.

    except when we’re profiling people at the airport, and totally missing jihad jane.

    righties are so simple-minded.

    Oh he’s definitely homo something.


  45. tombaker says:

    42 – Glaad reported it. Would it be homophobic to doubt their reportage, or hold it to a higher level of scrunity than some other group’s reportage? Or what?


  46. Purple State is sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline says:

    How long has it been since pez promised us a “beatdown”?

    This article is not about Obama, silly Pez. This article is about Johnny Weir.

    Asking why Obama isn’t more compassionate just opens up a can of worms. I don’t see Obama disowning homosexuals like the conservatives have been doing. I see…get this…tolerance.

    Do you think you can be tolerant of homosexuals, Pez?


  47. Zooey, Mother Superior, Church of Perpetual Whoopie says:

    Glaad reports that sponsors have “refused to allow” American figure skater Johnny Weir to join the Stars on Ice Tour because they deemed him “not family friendly.”

    Who are these sponsors?

    Seriously? They’re banning a gay man from a figure skating event. Seriously?

    Amazing thing, the ice doesn’t care who skates on it.

  53. dbadass says:

    Come on there has to be a sincere conservative out there somewhere…


  54. Purple State is sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline says:

    Oh, little Pez. Way to twist my words.

    You need to be more tolerant of people, son. When you get into the real world and demand people to fit your stereotypes, you’ll get into a world of trouble.


  55. tombaker says:

    how sorrowfully dumb is the person who thinks profiling is not discrimination?


  56. tombaker says:

    Come on there has to be a sincere conservative out there somewhere…

    there does?


  57. Above the Clouds says:

    Who’s family is Weir not friendly to? Larry Craig’s? Mark Sanford’s? John Ensign’s? Eric Massa’s? Tiger Woods?


  58. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    hey peztard,
    you’re 100% correct. i know very little about the issue of gay marriage, being a gay man and all.


  59. ralph the wonder llama, official spokesllama for the Llama Milk Council® says:

    pezmiztix says:
    i have no problem with profiling.

    Only because no one’s looking for slow-witted, fear-driven troglodytes. If they were, you wouldn’t be able to leave the hous ewithout getting profiled.

    Most people are just hoping people like you keep to yourselves as much as possible.

    …is this your “beat-down”?


  64. tombaker says:

    Mr. and Mrs. Pez,

    At any time in the past, did your Son ever exhibit a pattern of bedwetting, fire setting, and/or animal torture?

    I have heard that those are all common themes in the adolescence of serial killers, and wonder whther this might not be an appropriate time to notify/seek help from authorities in that area.


  65. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    you can tell the cancervatards have nothing
    no ideas
    nothing to offer
    no platform
    by the rabid way they’re foaming at the mouth over the midterm elections. hell, even their trolls pass up the chance to preach on the evils of teh gay on a gay themed threat


  66. Hoodathunk(sponsored by the Church of Holy Beer) says:

    I wish you the best of luck with your family. Everyone should meet up here or somewhere online and have a beer and a toast when Beck’s show goes off the air.

    He will not be participating in SOI. To my knowledge neither will Ashley Wagner, Rachael Flatt, or Emily Samuelson and Evan Bates all top US figure skaters.

    Mr. Pezmiztix,

    You really need to talk to your boy about his excessive self-abuse.

    And his masturbation problem was well…


  108. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    “the last three times he’s tried to give me a massage.”

    does pezzie give “happy ending”?

    Okay, Purple State, I see your point.

    pez gives lousy rubdowns anyway.


  114. candide says:

    My family loves me and embraces my partner of 20 years. Those are family values. They still go to the Catholic Church, but I forgive them for that. They were born into it and couldn’t help it. The Ice Skater association needs to rethink their values.

    Cheap Chinese condoms?

    Raccoon hide and a rubber band. We were stupid, young and we lived in a very rural area.

    ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

    You have NO idea of the image I have in my head right now… :D

    You kids and your mind images…believe it or not imagination was created after LSD was. My grandfather, Mr. Pezmiztix was there when the government was experimenting with it. 20 people were killed and countless injured so you could have your mind images.

    And I’m sure PETA wouldn’t approve of skinning a raccoon and using it as a prophylactic.

    Is he potty trained?

    Nope…only potty mouthed. It’s a little better when he’s not having a bout of schizophrenia.

    Well, alright, I’ll bid on him, but no more than $1, but YOU have to provide the food for the first year!

    That sure is a lot of cheeto’s, but I’ll agree to the deal.

    Whatever you do: don’t expose him to water or sunlight and do not feed him after midnight!


  122. livelongandprosper says:

    So pez, you worthless fcuking scum. Where’s that “beat down” you promised? Did you simply lie? Or are you a coward?

    Both, I think

    Thought so. Worthless fcuk.

    I may be a conservative and have a natural urge to hate everything but dammit who could deny the cuteness of the mogwai?

    Oddly enough I hate Furby though. Evil creature.



  130. missmolly, brought to you by Diet Pepsi says:

    I remember when Rudy Galindo, an openly gay figure skater, won the U.S. National Championship, and went on to get the bronze in the World Championship. He went pro after that, and toured with Champions on Ice. He even did a number in a sailor suit to the Village People’s “In the Navy” and “YMCA”. Nobody ever suggested that Champions on Ice wasn’t “family friendly”.

    It sounds like Stars on Ice has a sponsor who’s a bigot. I doubt seriously if audiences would care who Weir sleeps with, as long as he knows how to skate and he manages to entertain.

    And as far as “flashy costumes” go, Liberace managed to build a rather lucrative career on just that.

    “Stars on Ice” Sucks anyway! From a different era.


  133. pags2 says:

    Stars on Ice has brought a lot of bad publicity on themselves, regardless of who made the decision. They have alienated the other skaters and many of the public. This is a case where bad publicity is not better than no publicity.


  134. Lora says:

    pez seems to have forgotten or never even knew that prior to 9/11, Colleen Rowley, an FBI agent, tried to warn the Bush administration of the suspicious number of men with Arab names enrolling in US flight schools; there was also a report titled “Al Qaeda Determined to Attack within the USA.” Both were ignored so that Dumbya Bush could take a long vacation at his Dude Ranch.

    pezmiztix says:
    i guess you’d have to ask yourself if there was a profile on all of the bombers and suspected bombers – would there be a clear profile?


  135. Lora says:

    I have just become a Johnny Weir fan.


  136. MapleStreet says:

    Uh, ever hear of a metrosexual ? Why couldn’t that be the case.

    Not to mention, considering the stereotype, I’ve gotta snark:

    A gay guy in figure skating?

    That homophobia study from the University of Georgia suggests a**holes like you are in the closet.

    Why do you conservatives always place an emphasis on someones sexuality, but not murders or anything else more important?

  157. Rodeskawler says:

    Everyone knows two things for sure.

    Figure skating is the ultimate manly sport. Only the most masculinized males would even think about figure skating in the first place.

    Secondly, gay people probably have no interest in figure skating since it is all about art and fashion.

    We cannot have men skaters in figure skating that seem more effeminate than the two male hosts on Fox and friends. That sets a bad family example.


  158. jbrantow says:

    Anyone who values the American value of inclusion, tolerance, open mindedness and fair and equal treatment of all citizens should send a letter to the “Stars on Ice”

    starsonice@imgworld.com

    Don’t support a divisive “family value” flag waving hypocritical group.


  159. jbrantow says:

    ummm there are two certainties in this life. One..everything that lives will eventually die. Two..this dude eats his corn the long way. there is no doubt this dude loves the dong. Some people find men running around in spandex pants with feathers on them and no shirt a tad extreme for kids to be looking up to. Makes sense to me..good job again reporting on the obvious Thinkprogess!


  161. wreckingcrew says:

  162. Pete Bogs says:

    I’m not sure a sixth-place skater has earned a spot as a “star.” Are we saying he should be included just because he is known from the Olympics, i.e., fame versus demonstrated skating skills?

    Personally, I think he disqualified himself when he wore the fur outfit.

    None of my comments have anything to do with his sexual orientation, btw. Read my blog (click on my name link) if you think I am a homophobe.


  163. Big Dan says:

    This country hasn’t become a bunch of sick creeps, what’s sick is the creeps took over the corporate media and part of their game plan is to still call it “liberal”.


  164. Mike N says:

    Johnny was the weirdest and braves athlete at the games! Then he spoke about how lucky he was to have such a supportive family and how well he understood that every odd kid was not so lucky.

    Weird, brave and wise.

    I can’t wait to see what he does next!
