Doug PollardBrian McFadden’s pink stink

Bernarr McFadden - no (known) relation
Former Westlife boy-band singer Brian McFadden says straight men should not wear pink.
McFadden, whose former Westlife colleague Mark Feehily came out last year, said, “If you are not gay, a man should not be wearing pink," adding, "Saying pink is a form of red is the same as saying homosexual is a form of male."
Responding to a caller to New Zealand's More FM, who said that in days gone by boys used to wear pink while little girls were dressed in blue, McFadden, 28, sneered: "In San Francisco or Sydney."
Poor Delta. Your legion of gay male fans can sympathise. We all understand the attractions of a bit of homophobic rough trade. Don’t worry. You’ll get over it.
McFadden is probably trying to boost his moribund career with a new gig as a shock-jock. He’s already lined up to prat on about football, hosting Foxtel's new reality TV soccer show Football Superstar.
And John Laws old job is still vacant. He could go head to head with one of the stately homos of Australia, and fellow sports nut, Alan Jones. And make country music albums to sell to the listeners.
Someone should remind him that calling himself an artist is the same as saying that mooing over a celebrity girlfriend for profit is a form of music.
Meantime can someone get him a date with Jeff Kennett?

It sounds like he's trying to compensate for his boy band image by being a ruff-tuff man's man.
Kids sort themselves out easily. They like the colours that they like.

What a joke!! Someone should tell this moron has-been that clothes may very well maketh the man, but not his sexuality.
Frankly, the more effeminate a heterosexual male dresses, the more it shows just how confident he is with his own sexuality.
I have had many straight male pals who loved being hugged and given a kiss hello, and no, none of them thought it was leading anywhere, as I didn't, it was just being natural.
Delta annoys me, now I know why, she has dumb taste in men!

The only joke here is McFadden himself.

just checked out your news link.. I ma really, the fool is desperate for publicity!
Loved seeing him in the pink and black shirt, what a dope!
I objected to the "real men" comment by the paper too,as if gays cannot possibly be 'real men', well, admittedly many of us are 'real min', but that is by far the exception!
Can't get your radio station up here, used t listen to it when in Victoria, and actually a guy I knew used to go on a show there quite often, he was a performer I met when we were both working in stage management in 1982.... seems like yesterday... 26 years ago, damn!
Now I know why the elderly seem so out of touch... and I have joined them..
