Former boyband member Brian McFadden mocks gays, misses the irony
Leaving a successful boy band at the height of its popularity can be a daunting prospect. Just ask Brian McFadden, who left the UK group Westlife, and in the years since, has been dropped from his record label. He also married singer Delta Goodrem (hmm ... a former boyband member marries a blonde popstar. I think I preferred it the first time I saw them, when they were named Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson). Since his career now seems to exist as being "Mr. Goodrem", he's taken to biting the gay hands that used to feed him. On a recent radio show in New Zealand, he had this to say about colors and sexuality: "If you are not gay, a man should not be wearing pink." "Saying pink is a form of red is the same as saying homosexual is a form of male." "In the old days, there ws no such thing as "gay". It was frowned on...the church would burn you at the stake." I think his former group might disagree, especially since one of his former bandmates, Mark Feehily came out a few years ago, and the band has had an enormous amount of success ... without McFadden. Brian with Westlife, in
As idotic and offensive as what he said is, he does have to be given props for the courage he showed when he left Westlife, and to show how serious he was about leaving his boyband history behind him, changed his name. From Bryan to Brian. Now that's hardcore! After the break, you can hear Brian's comments, and listen for yourself as what's left of his "career" implodes. Submitted by on Tue, 2008-08-19 08:09. |

I love stupidity. never ceases to amuse me. :-P
Ah, but he's got his name
Ah, but he's got his name all over the internet now. Maybe, that was the point? Publicity is
publicity, even if you're a sh*t! And Queerty has pictures of this jerk in pink! So he's a sh*t and a hypocrite!!!

As Diana Vreeland so famously noted --
"Pink is the Navy Blue of India"
Mr. Goorem is a creep's creep.
ukh
hypocrite

I didn't know Perez used to be in a boy band.... wait, what... that not Perez? for reals? seriously...?
Man to man ~ I always liked Boyzone better anyway
It sounds like Brian/Bryan/Douchebag woke up on the desperate marketing side of the bed by sporting homophobia drag to test if it made his butt look too big. While the fool will get publicity from his statement, hopefully it will be short-lived and not prevent the continued identification of people who we can all point to as having said something hurtful/stupid/unacceptable about us, and in this case one of his own boys.
Brian gives straight has-beens a bad name.

Good riddance to rubbish!
Westlife certainly does not need this guy. Shane Filan and Mark Feehily are more than capable front men for the group.
What an idiot. First he marries that Atomic Kitten chick and divorces her. And then, I didn't know this, he married Delta Goodrem? What was Goodrem on when she married this loser?
Pink Jumpsuit
Stupidity can sometimes be amusing, but most of the time just plain stupid.

umm...
some straight guys can pull pink off, I should know, I see them all the time at my school, but it's only the PERFECT body/PERFECT face straight guys who have a big time masculine attitudes who do this, I mean the out gays dont even wear this. I am, unfortunately, not out, and still go nowhere near pink, I dont even think I would even if I was. it is ironic isnt it. nah, I like to wear the colors dark green, brown, grey and white shirts with the perfect boot cut blue jeans-that's me, and whatever the dude's name was above who said homosexuals only wear pink doesnt know shit.
Does pink have a vagina?
It always amazes me how people don't realize why pink is traditionally used for girls and stupid people like this guy says it is not for boys.
In more ignorant times like centuries ago, blue was used for boys since people thought evil spirits would not touch boys since thy wore blue because blue is the colour of the sky and thereby heaven which evil spirits despise.
Pink was given to girls since it is the colour of earth and evil spirits did not bother with girls since they were of no importance.
This is the idiosity that bore the idea of pink being a female colour and blue being a male colour and why a lot of people, especially religious, attribute pink with girls and blue with boys.
The same people who came up with this absurd notion are the ones who said women are evil and have a demon in them. Priests would actually tell the male half of the couple he is marrying to beat his wife daily to expel the demon from her (and people wonder why there are wife beaters).
Live Long and Prosper
What an annoying douchebag.
Hey McFadden, Jealous much?
Shane Filan and Out Mark Feehily are the bands original lead vocalists, but Mcfadden was given some leads the last year he was with the group. Even at that Feehily calls McFadden Lazy and suggests they are better off with out him. Which was apparently true since they are still going strong and McFadden's music sucks. It seems obvious to me that he's using his homophobia to cover for his burning jealousy. So sad considering he must have made millions off of that band
