According to Greg in Hollywood:
Olympic skater Johnny Weir may not want to talk about whether or not he is gay but he makes no effort to try and butch it up for anyone.
And that just makes some people crazy apparently.
Two French-language broadcasters in Quebec, Claude Mailhot and Alain Goldberg, made homophobic remarks about the stylish and flamboyant Weir with one saying he hurts figure skating’s image and another saying Weir should be made to take a gender test.
The Quebec Gay and Lesbian Council formally filed a complaint Monday with a Canadian broadcast monitoring council, demanding a public apology from French-language broadcaster RDS. The two broadcasters later offered an on-air apology for their comments.
Johnny, clearly far more mature than the French dudes, handled it so beautifully in an interview he did Monday night with Dorothy Hamill for Access Hollywood.
“Every little boy should be so lucky as to turn into me,” he said calmly. “And that’s all I have to say about that.”
