Ok, ok, maybe the snickering about Johnny Weir “coming out” in his memoir, Welcome to My World, has gone on long enough. In an interview with ESPN, Weir explained his disappointment that letting the pink elephant out of the room garnered so much press:
There were lots of gay websites that had an issue with me quote-unquote coming out and doing it “too late,” and people are trying to make it into a big news story when really, it’s not news at all. I’ve always been exactly the same.
Lesson learned: in Weir World, being gay ain’t no thang. He explains why after the jump.
