Most precious face ever!!! I can believe it. We all get inspired from Gay people, all the time, even great icons from history have gay in them. It's the way of life, and will never change.

42

WHO CARES ??!! Perez, why do you have to take everything gay and fly the fucking banner? You're constantly going on about the gay community being treated as 'equals' right?? Then stop trying to glorify everything and everyone gay. Its just getting boring….

Funny that, Brandon Flowers too, was and is making music as a gay man. Just maybe doesnt know it yet??

…on my knees looking for the answer..

Keep at it guy and youll find it..

I am surprised Perez posted this since Brandon Flowers is Mormon.
BelieveMeNatalie says – reply to this

47

Come on seriously, yes BF is a morman, and no BF isn't gay…duh he's married! His vocals are amazing and his tracks are totally hot! (Those who haven't seen yet…i feel truly sorry for you!) …but that does that all really matter?….NO it's the music… and who cares if he grew up having "musical gay heros"…it was the talent he saw not the fine print, he is a lyrical sex poet and the best i've witnessed in my days. "America, we are raising a generation of dancers!"

Trust me Perez,if hes in the mormon cult he voted against you. They are all sick.

best quote ever!

Everybody who really know Brandon Flowers, knows that he is friendly with gay peoples. Being a mormon doesn't mean you are against GAY marriage!! It really depends on which church he praise. I think Brandon is like a modern mormon which is a good thing.:-) love him!!!

Perez don't believe all thoses shit people posted. He is a great man like you!

Brandon is soooooo hot! I'd let him nail me any day….
MsFlowers says – reply to this

Everyone was hatin on Perez for giving Brandon and The Killers props saying he is Morman and does not support gays. Well, he does and I already said is not the typical morman. Yeah Perez and YEAH for The Killers- they ROCK! And if you check any and all of their songs, you will find reference to God- hence the "on my knees" post from earlier. How can all of you say you support gay lifestyle and gay marriage and then mock someone on their lyrics?
