Comments on: Rupert Everett “can’t think of anything worse than being brought up by 2 gay dads” http://www.celebitchy.com/251910/rupert_everett_cant_think_of_anything_worse_than_being_brought_up_by_2_gay_dads/ Stylish celebrity escapism Tue, 21 May 2013 05:09:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: uncle Frank http://www.celebitchy.com/251910/rupert_everett_cant_think_of_anything_worse_than_being_brought_up_by_2_gay_dads/#comment-12216460 uncle Frank Thu, 20 Sep 2012 04:10:22 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=251910#comment-12216460 Please remember Rupert is an upper class Englishman who enjoys speaking with a certain amount of flippancy. Comments like this definitely aren't meant to be taken too seriously. Likewise his comments re 'community'. The bottom line is he's just saying in his own funny way that 'it's not for him'. He's not proposing that everyone follows his lead. A late friend of mine spent some time with him when he was filming in Sydney 25 years ago and said he was one of the most kind,sensitive and funny men she'd ever met. I've only just discovered he's written several books and intend on reading them as they've been very well reviewed.

Its like everything in life...I know some amazing gays in NYC that would make amazing parents.....however, also, I know some vapid, overly dramatic, self absorbed, infantile, drunken oversexed gays that would make really awful parents.....his openness and honesty is really refreshing and a welcome bit of perspective in what has become a bit ridiculous and off kilter. Just because your gay doesnt mean you have special powers and abilities to parent.

For some reason, I have always loved Rupert. He was terrific in My Best Friend's Wedding but even better in Something About Ernest. He's just voicing his own opinion and since he is a gay man, I'm sure he was aware that it wouldn't sit well with other gay men. Apparently he's not concerned about the fall out. That makes me like him even more! I second that. For some reason, I have always loved Rupert. He was terrific in My Best Friend’s Wedding but even better in Something About Ernest.

I get the feeling he doesn't like being gay terribly much. Too bad because he's a good actor and likeable onscreen. He’s made some comments before that sounded to me like he’s a bit self-loathing.
