The Relevance of Gay Boyband Members To My Life
...is nothing.
But I'll blog about it anyway.
So, Lance Bass of N'Sync comes out.
That makes him one of a growing number of former boyband members who are gay afterall, after that guy from Boyzone and that guy from Moffats and of course, George Michael of Wham! and the entire Take That. No, I'm just imagining that last one unless somebody says it's true.
And because no one can really tell the ratio of gay guys to straight guys in the world, because the closet gay guys are impossible to count, I offer the boyband-coming-out-phenomenon theory: In a group of five guys, one is likely to be gay.
This means: There are 2-3 gay guys in a basketball team. A large mall will have 5 or more gay security guards. About the same for janitors. A construction site will have at least one gay worker, more if the construction is bigger. 2-3 of your classmates are gay, variable on how large the class is. Every fifth tricycle in the station will be a gay driver. Every fifth taxi cab that passes by will have a gay driver. Every fifth jeepney. Every fifth pizza delivery boy. Every fifth wrestler on TV. Every fifth sacristan in church. Or priest. Every fifth soldier. Every fifth boy in a barkada. The lead singer in a rock band. Or the bassist.
Of course, this is assuming the boyband is a cross-section of society at large. Clearly, it's not. It's showbiz. It's "good-looking" young boys who want a piece of the fame cake. These types of boys aren't exactly cut from the same cloth as, say, boys who enrol in police academy. Besides, I'm assuming a higher ratio in certain circles. Like, say, models. Am I to believe there are only one in five of them who are gay? Hehe. Or body search contestants. Or Pinoy Big Brother contestants? Hmm. I was watching this badly made but campy-fun talent search on Channel 13, for a daily Pinoy noontime show host, and as far as I'm concerned, all the male contestants are gay. Including Mystica. What's that show called again?
And besides besides, just because only one boyband member calls himself gay, doesn't mean none of the others don't engage in gay acts. Eheh.
Things like this are always encouraging.
So which other gay boyband members do you know? Pretend it matters.
