John Mayer: Racist AND Homophobic
February 12, 2010
John Mayer is actually a pretty good guitar player. If only he would focus on that skill instead of opening his mouth in interviews (or at all), we’d be all set.
After apologizing for using the n-word and making racially charged statements in a Playboy article, the douchebag may need to say he’s sorry yet again.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) is upset, understandably, that the 32-year-old singer used a gay slur, “f*g,” in his remarks.
THG NOTE: Whose vocabulary even includes the n-word and the f-word in this day and age – let alone when one is being interviewed by a magazine?!
John Mayer, apparently. And few people are GLAAD.
John Mayer was always a douche. Now he’s proving to be much worse.
“Just as he indicated in his apology that he meant no offense in his use of the racist slur, we hope his intent behind the F-word was not malicious,” GLAAD wrote.
The group continued, “As a public figure with millions of fans, John Mayer should be more cognizant of the impact his casual use of both slurs can have.”
Fittingly, Mayer used the slur talking about a kiss with Perez Hilton, who is gay, and who was in hot water last year for hurling that same slur at will.i.am.
“I can outgay this guy right now,” Mayer said. “I grabbed him and gave him the dirtiest, tongue-iest kiss I ever put on anybody, almost as if I hated f*gs.”
Uhh, whatever you say, John. Might want to keep your publicist on speed dial … and/or go somewhere far, far away and never be heard from again.
