Great article. See and now my minds goes to the overwhelming intersectionality of this. Misogyny, racism, trans & homo phobias... somehow the white media feels entitled to be all up in WOC's panties. I mean even Rhianna get the "slut shame" thing right now. Thank You for posting this, more folks need to step up like Mr. Simmons did as well. Damn.

You know between Rhianna and Trayvon Martin, Mr. Simmons has been on point like nobody's business.

I think he's the bee's knees tbh.

I think that Raven has the right idea. Her business is her business, and speaking just for me, I really am not interested in the personal lives of famous people, it seems both voyeuristic and somewhat like collective stalking at its worst extremes.

I agree that people's business, celebrity or not, remains THEIR business. I don't know where people get the idea that celebrities are not entitled to a private life. Just because plenty tweet their daily bowel movement, it doesn't mean that the lives of others are open for public scrutiny and water-cooler gossip.

And another thing - why is a young woman isn't frequently steaming up paps' lenses with some man/a string of men automatically labelled 'gay'? Whether she's gay, bi, straight, or just plain content with being by her lonesome as well as being a private person outside of work, gay rumours are sure to follow if she isn't publicly and heterosexually booed up (and even then...). So annoying.

sadly queer men have that issue as well. if you don't have a woman (a beard) attached to your arm, people begin to speculate that you might be one of those ho-mo-sax-you-owls.

;_; Too true. Prying. insistent folks like Perez Hilton don't help either, but that's a rant for another day.
