Funny how many times he changed his story about what the comment on Facebook was about: #1 – Guy in the shower at gym, #2 – Denying a FB friend request because a guy was ugly, #3 – A meme…who cares whether your mother’s the virgin Mary, you dissed and you got dissed! Take it like a man. If you want to make a statement, regardless of what it is, have the backbone and the conviction to stick to it. You’re weak.

I agree Paramanel. I often cringe at the willingness the “gay community” seems to have to adopt some of the less than desirable facets of the “straight community”. This bid to be normal. Beauty pageants being one of them.

I was looking through the original line up here for the competition and I thought to myself when I came to the half naked Gordon Grieve “oh shame he’s going to really battle”. It appears he allowed himself to believe he is some kind of demigod by the whole sordid affair instead. This is not right either.

His clarification here in comments does nothing at all to address his conceit and misguided opinions, though. Happily they do bring the issue out of the closet even further. This way of thinking is sadly quite common amongst men who love men an issue which should be addressed by our community, beauty pageants foster these instead.

Its a big mistake to think our community is without fault simply because “we” are and in so many places around the world persecuted and denied free expression and basic human rights. No doubt about it there are some very creepy men who love men. No surprises there. Join the queue Gordon!

Get over yourselves. whatever Mr GSA stands for, it has been the most fun event in the community since it started and certainly the most talked about. How many times have you not made a stupid status update? PS he has not the won the competition, if it was the winner it it could have been noteworthy.

Role model for what? A bunch of muscle Mary’s in speedos…mmm…what do they want to do for the community? Have the pageant. get guys who do porn to enter (they have before) gays like that.. Don’t pretend that this pageant is anything more than that. A slutty pageant (again, we like that). These guys are perhaps role models for looking good but that is where it ends.

Again we are freaking out about nothing really. We have all put our foot in our mouth at some point in our lives and said something we regretted later. I trust that Gordon appreciate the impact his statement made and doubt that he will make that same mistake again. Besides the gay community is very fickle and judgmental. Why do we pretend it isn’t so?

What an arrogant little man. Perhaps he should remember that his pretty face wont remain pretty forever! Age and gravity are not kind to any of us. Wonder how he will feel, in 20 years time, when someone tells him that he is UGLY!

Hi Guys. Thanx for all the comments. I have read all of them and taking it to heart. I however do need to add. In the formal reply that was sent to Mambaonline. I stated I misquoted the E-card, the statement was supposed to say over confident, not self confident

I’m sorry, but i have experience the same thing on facebook, people see what they want to see in your statuses, I stated once that i was missing someone and a few hours later, family is phoning me to say sorry that my sister past away, how they got to my sister and “dead” in my status, i don’t know. People are to quick to judge and make assumption of what they understand and interpret from others.

I don’t understand why people are being so hard on him. He is still very young and is bound to put his foot in his mouth from time to time. With maturity comes acceptance, tolerance and open mindedness – something he has yet to attain. Gordon! Don’t let the nasty comments get to you. Just learn from it and move on.
