The Truth

[Kerissa]

As an observer/participant in the whole Morrissey and his sexuality debate I just want to come out and say that, yes, deep down in my heart I wish he was straight.

But if you think that this makes me homophobic, then you're wrong.

Moz's songs are about love, acceptance, injustice, murder, etc.

Listening to his words lets me know that there is someone out there in the world who feels the same way I do.

Why do I hope he's straight then? Perhaps because falling in love with his words has made me fall in love with him. And if he was straight that might mean he could fall in love with me (even though I'll never meet him).

But when you get down to it, though, I don't care if he's straight or gay and I don't want to know if he is either. Morrissey could be either.

What we as fans must ask ourselves now, however, is if his sexual orientation makes a difference in how we love him?

This debate is a long one and it's been going on for years, but we we must ask ourselves this question?

DOES IT MATTER?

My answer? Not really. I love him no matter what.

Re: What's important is ...

What's important is that Morrissey find happiness in his own way - what ever that may be.

From the changes in him people have reported to us during this tour, he seems to be on the track that brings him the joy that has been missing from his life. That's nice.

[whoever you're performing for]

morrissey has got you right where he wants you. the reason he's so ambiguous is because he knows the more people who think they have a chance with him the more money he makes.

Then let him make as much as he wants.

I agree, i love Morrissey no matter what he is. And i certianly
am not a homophobic, in fact i am against homophobics and the
rest of the bigoted lot, and i think when it comes down to it,
Morrissey is probaly not a strict celibate, but is sort of that
"fourth gender" he speaks a lot of, and he certianly doesnt strike
me as gay or straight, or even bi, but he has such a sexual
presence..but anyhoo i think we should let it rest, because
like you said, it is not important, but the fact that he does seem
to hide it, is rather intresting and it gives himself some
dignity, its nobodys buisness really. Well, thats what i think
at least..

love,
Moz Gurlie

The thing about morrissey is that we see what we want to see....lyrics that say hes straight or gay, what does it really matter? As long as we like the music.Just give it a rest(damn i'm sick of this)Take what you want from the music and make what you will of it.....Just shut up!

Is it really so stupid...

i dont even have to read your post to determine the silliness of it...yes of course, the ol' sexuality question, like ive said before it pops up at least 5 times a year. why do you give a @#!!! on what his sexuality is, why do you even care if the ol' mozzer would rather lick a donkeys cock than to be with his own species. who cares!!! would your ear listen to morrissey differently if you knew he was straight, bi or whatever??? i dont really think so...just listen and enjoy, life is complicated enough as it is.

hiding one's sexuality in no way imparts dignity.
it's called being in the closet.

 

[sd]

keep it in the closet

life is complicated, huh? that's because people like morrissey won't come out of the closet and make it simpler for the average folk...

honestly is the simplest solution.

if you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the problem...

What changes do you bear in mind when you say this, flirty? I'm curious.

If you had, you may have found that Kerissa shares your sentiments completely. She just chose to express them in a much more agreeable manner.

Re: What's important is ...

Morrissey doesn't seem to be performing like a man who is forced at gunpoint onto the stage and ordered to sing. He is so free, and he actually seems to be enjoying himself. The repartee with the fans in the audience appears to be that of a man who has more confidence and poise with the urgency of the moment and is confortable with replying with "ready wit." (pardon the Moz quote, but it fit so well)

He seems to be accepting audiences instead of being concerned with how the audiences acept him.

I haven't seen Morrissey in concert since '92 but in my opinion this Morrissey sounds so different from the one I saw. - And what an improvement it seems to be!

I have to disagree with you.

It's more like it's his own business and not ours.
