Homophobe??? Josh Homme Responds For Using the "F" Word
Filed under: Gay Gay Gay
An open letter from the Queens of the Stone Age lead singer.
He says…
"Member of the Peanut Gallery:
Some journalists & citizens on the internet & are wondering: Q? Am I a homophobe because I included a slang for gay in with other "acceptable" curse words during a verbal lashing I gave a young concertgoer, after being hit by his shoe, during a show the other day? A= Nope. My gay family & friends, as well as myself, KNOW I am not a homophobe. For years now I've known gay is not a choice; one's skin color doesn't determine one's intelligence level; & red hair doesn't mean you're someone's stepchild. You see, it's not the words, it's their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong, but apparently, based on your outrage to my flu-infused rant, you do! By that logic… I also told that young whipper snapper I'd have anal sex with him… how can I possibly reconcile these opposing viewpoints? I called him a pussy too. Does it mean I hate our one worlds' collective vagina? I never have been nor intend to be politically correct. That's your cross to bear. To me, that PC world would suck more shit than the porta-potty truck at Glastonbury. Homophobic? I'm in Queens of the Stone Age for crissake… You say, "So. Your band name doesn't prove anything." Maybe not. But it's a helluv a lot more definitive than the logic of some watchdog… (sorry canine-American, canine-European, canine-African, canine-Australian & canine-Asian) moralist, keeping score from pure perfectionville? If your glass house is squeegeed that clean & you need to do something, do what the great philosopher Bill Hick's once suggested: — forgive me–. Or don't. I'm not asking for either, OK? I think you should let both of your cheeks go loose so the stick will drop out. Either way I expect that you'll soon find another injustice from your chair, then roll to your bullhorn & point it out to the rest of us… Because you're so above it all. Or If you'll allow me to translate a wish of mine into your PC lingo:
Will you please go have, consensual, sex with yourself.
Pretty please with all natural, carbon offset sugar on top.
Sincerely,
Mr. Missundastood
A.K.A. Joshua, Baby Duck, Jho
Head Choreographer & Do Stuff Corporation's pansexual spokes-thing"

AS A GAY MAN HERE, I SAY AMEN! LOL
LOL hahhahhaha
He is funny and I like his response
LOVE HIM!
I hate when people overreact Perez. Don't be a drama queen.
and THAT is why i love him!
second
Sadly he has a point….people need to loosen up a little bit…! Calling someone a fag is just as nasty as calling someone a bitch,whore or slut which Perez does on a regular basis
This guy is brilliant….I don't even like their music, but his response is fantastic. Everyone needs to lighten up.
GOD DAMN I DIDNT THINK I COULD POSSIBLY LOVE JOSH MORE, BUT AFTER READIN THIS RAINBOWS OUT ME BUTTHOLE!! CHEERIEOO
LETS GET OVER OURSELVES GAY COMMUNITY WORDS ARE WORDS
hahah…in ur face perez!!!!!
i think that was an awesome replyyy
first
ha
el oh el
Good for him.
He has the balls to be truthful and not buy into the current PC status quo. Wish more people could be honest like that. It'd make things so much more simple and sufferable.
Hell yeah let em have it!!
Oh lordy I love Stoneage and Josh Homme and his ability to not stand for nit picky bull.
good for him.
time to move on.
LMAO! that was brazilliant!
Well said Josh! Sometimes we all just need to take a step back and get some perspective.
The letter was hilarious. Start taking things with a grain of salt, Perez. You are going downhill. Get back to the way you used to be.
great… another fucktard screwing the world up.
hah. some of that was funny
at least now we know he reads perez lol
I concur. It's not homophobic to call someone a fag.
good on him, im sick of treading on eggshells trying to be PC.
BEING 'POLITICALLY CORRECT IS WHAT ADDS TO RACIAL TENSION!
I guess he told you. After reading that I am now a huge fan of his.
Hell Ya!! That's what Sheen should be saying right now. Get over it people. Concentrate on actions, and less on words. People use to freak out about the word shit, which was an actual "Curse" at one time, but they are over it, and the word is common now. Let's let all these words become more common and less offensive.
STFU ASS
the man is 100% correct and very well said shut the fuck up you town crying brat
Just because he said the f word, Perez posts. Whatever. Perez has never even been to a REAL rock show. He has no idea what goes on.
QOTSA Kick ass. Keep on talkin Josh AND rockin
hi perez
sounds reasonable. queens of the stone age kill it. (btw)
I don't think the gay community should get so up in arms over the use of the "F" word…it really isn't that big a deal. People get so sensitive over things that aren't meant to harm, and you should know better.
"F" word, "N" word…when are famous people going to stop getting bitched out for using words that 90% of the population use.
He is so fucking dubm and obviously doesn't know what the word connotation means. Connotation: is a subjective cultural and/or emotional coloration in addition to the explicit or denotative meaning of any specific word or phrase in a language, i.e. emotional association with a word.
So, this fuck-head was emotionally angry and decided to call someone a fag out of that anger. What does that say about him? It says that when he feels anger he thinks of gay people. That may not be true, but that is the message he is sending with his asinine comments
Asinine: foolish, unintelligent, or silly; stupid: It is surprising that supposedly intelligent people can make such asinine statements.
EXCUSE ME, PEOPLE?! There is a difference between SLANG and SLUR. The two are not, nor ever will be interchangeable!
There is no denying he has a way with words; he is a saucy minx.
I have a new hero. Thank christ for that guy. I'm so sick of the hypocrisy of what words we can and cannot say, and if we choose to use certain ones people get the right to label us racist or sexist or homophobic. Actions speak louder than words, idiots. It is completely the intent behind the word usage, not just the measly word. YOU give it the power it ends up having! Take it back!
Right on!
HELLZ yeah! Hahah
I guess he told you. he's absolutely right.
Stop reading so much into everything.
You are trying to make an issue out of nothing.
I love you Perez, but he makes one hell of a great point. I like that guy!!!
hahaha are you kidding?… That was AWESOME! His hilarious, intelligent, care free. Shit, I'd use worse words if I were on stage in front of thousands of people and someone threw a fucking shoe at my head!
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!
AMEN!!!!
HAHA thats great
LOVES IT!
right on!
brilliance!
amen!!!! rock on josh!!!
Finally someone who says what they mean and how they feel and does not appologize for it. The idiot who threw a shoe at him should be the one appologizing. If you are gonna do stupid things then dont get pissed when people call you on it.
That was the best thing I have ever read! I love it! We all say things that we don't mean out of anger, frustration- whatever. People need to just calm down sometimes. Ya know?
Brilliant response!
So sick of people having to publicly apologize for calling people names. It's retarded. Don't be such a fag Perez.
That is the best damn reply…ever. He did not apologize or say that he did not mean to say what he really did say. He explained what he meant and kept on going. I must say, I think he is right about everyone taking themselves way too seriously. When someone calls another person a retard for doing something stupid it is not meant to be an insult to all the retarded people of the world…its not nice, but who ever said people are nice.
well said!!! people just need to lighten the F up!!!
COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
That was awesome.. Very well said!
OH! and I love how he addressed it to the "peanut gallery"- awesome!!!
I don't know who that guy is but I know he's right!
Move on.. that's nothing!
Methinks the Lady doth protest too much…
NICE! GOOD RESPONSE. fag is a word
It was actually quite well said and to the point.
Way to go Josh! It's true what he says. Every trying to be so PC is becoming a problem in our society. hey, I have many gay friends and they aren't offended by what he said to that kid. He was being an ass and he got knocked down. Josh is a very talented man and is actually a great guy. I know!
Haha. I love smart people.
So if you called him a n*gger would you have just been being politically incorrect? And to answer your question, yes, you do hate the worlds collective vagina. DIG A LITTLE DEEPER DOUCHEBAG! You hate women too! Be a little more fucking responsible and own up to what you did. ASSHOLE!
Re: Jenne –
Couldn't have said it better myself!!
Get off your high horse Perez. I've never heard of this group but am now a fan based on that guy's response!!!
pretty genius. about twenty five times the IQ of you, perez. gay & snippy aren't the highest virtues from which to judge the world, just one vantage, and he schooled you.
I'm with the guy on this one….excellent response
Hey P man.. seriously Mr. Hommes is a nice kind man.. he just flew off the shtick because someone threw something at him as he's trying to work.. i've seen you go off time or two because someone throws hate your way.. So all i say is dont hate.. And next time Queens is in town go check them or invite them out for a drink or two im sure it will be a recipe for a good time
Perfectly said! People are sweating the small shit and then do not want to hollar about the big shit, like waving a confederate flag from your car as you go down the street, or JENA 6! That seems perfectly right though hu? Just shut the shell up all of you still in the state of stupidness!
Jesus… I love him. He's fantastic!!! If only more people shared his NON-PC attitude!!!
Kudos to you. I'm not sure who you are, but that was awesome. You can call me a f*ggot if you'd like.
Since you think it is OK to hurl insults at women, I am not sure why you would get your panties in a bunch over an epithet about gays.
GOOD FOR HIM. We have become TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SENSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LONG LIVE JOSH HOMME
LONG LIVE QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
QUIT OVERREACTING
I am glad he stood up for himself. I mean people do take things to a whole new level when you "famous" I think that most of the time those who hate words others say also say things to offend others. Everyone needs to own up to the fact that we are all human
He just totally got a new fan… that was GREAT and i agree 100%
HE TOLD YOU!!!! HHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
perez, any more comments on that?!?!? fat fag piece of shit.
Finally! Someone who stands up for not being PC and shows just how ridiculous all the other tail between the leg apologies are.
