Day Ten

"I'm sure it would shock for a quick minute, but people are so over that at this point, I think. But who knows. I've kinda been exposed to Europe and things like that. But in my mind I don't think it would affect anyone's decision to like a band or not...everybody loved Boy George when he came out and he was blatantly out there."

Before You by Amber

"Ow! Joey, I think you broke my arm," Justin calls out. "JC, tell Joey to get off me!"

JC tells Joey to get off Justin and Joey turns around and grins and pulls JC down to the floor and tickles him. It's a relief, actually. He and Chris are supposed to fight and that's it. The two of them getting along--who knows what would happen? JC gets a weird chill up his spine just thinking about it.

Complicated TrickC-ery. And no, those two really wouldn't mesh on sight, but then. Very well-written, honest and complicated as those two can be.

JC so seems like he would live just that deeply in his own world sometimes, you know? The story is alternately amazing and slightly painful to read every time.

Whee! Thank you! I actually stumbled on the Random Quote Generator while looking for the link to Before You and all credit for the picture inspiration goes to the man himself. My criteria? 'Hm, what's the most overtly gay/negated by a straight context picture of JC that I can find?' I possibly could've done better, but needless to say it didn't exactly take me long to come up with this one. *g* It's just all but said out loud in so many instances. I'd love to know where this quote came from and just how the question was phrased. Extra points if the interviewer had actually asked something innocuous like, 'What is your favorite color?' and elicitied said response.

Gah. I don't remember which interview it was. They asked all five of 'em whether they thought a boyband could still be popular with a gay member. I've seen it in print (well, on the web). Let me poke around and see if I can locate it again.

Also, love this answer from Lance. Heh.

Could someone be gay and out and in a popular boy band in America today? Oh yeah. Definitely. I don't think it would hurt at all. Actually, I think it would [make the fan base] bigger. You'll have a bigger market. The whole gay market. Hey, one of us...

Go for it, baby!

Wow. So that ended up being more fun than you can walk away from, even bone-tired at six in the morning. It would've taken three replies, so I just posted it as an entry. Thank you for the link. It was delicious.
