Big Gay Al Speaks!

Al Reynolds is misunderstand, y’all.

The soon-to-be former Mr. Star Jones was us to pity him! Boo hoo.

B.G.A. has just posted a big gay rant on his official MySpace.

This is what he has to say:

“Dear Friends: If you think you are having a tough day, may I propose you walk in my shoes for a few hours. In my mind, it feels like ├óΓé¼┼ôDump on Al Month.├óΓé¼┬¥ And I├óΓé¼Γäóm not having fun yet. I have been called a gigolo, a freeloader, unemployed, a sham and many other things that don├óΓé¼Γäót bear repeating. People on television, radio and the internet have spoken disparagingly of my life, my sexuality, my career and my integrity. The media has barraged me (at my home), my friends, my family(including my 79 year old mother), my college classmates, my students and my professional colleagues. Yet, despite this intense level of provocation, I have said nothing. My Publicist has put out a one sentence statement: ├óΓé¼┼ôWe├óΓé¼Γäóre taking the high road.├óΓé¼┬¥ And we have and will continue on that path. As much as I want to defend myself, it seems like a silly and futile exercise. It├óΓé¼Γäós clear that the media doesn├óΓé¼Γäót want to let the truth get in the way of a good story. I hate to ruin their fun. I take great comfort in the fact that my loved ones and those people who really know me continue to love and respect me. Thank you ├óΓé¼┼ôall├óΓé¼┬¥ for the endless emails, phone calls and words of encouragement. I know in my heart that I entered my marriage with love and the best of intentions and leave it with great sadness that it didn├óΓé¼Γäót work. What the world doesn├óΓé¼Γäót know about me would fill a book, but I know who I am and what I have achieved in my life. Before I met Star Jones I was a successful Wall Street banker and since then I have become an entrepreneur, an educator and soon, an author. I grew up in a working class home, a mobile home in fact. I understand the struggles of the working class. My mother was a teacher and my father was in the military. I was given values, integrity and a strong moral upbringing (thanks mom and dad). In these hard economic times, I am working to take my knowledge and experience of the business world and use it to empower and enlighten working class Americans who are often ├óΓé¼╦£left behind├óΓé¼Γäó by traditional financial advice. I educate inspiring young men and women at Florida Memorial University, a historically black liberal arts university in Miami, Florida. I continue to follow my entrepreneurial spirit in the world of business and investment while completing my doctorate in Organizational Leadership. So I indeed work very hard as a professor, business owner, doctoral student and author. I play hard too. I make no apologies for that. A guy is entitled to a little fun, after all. What I want people to know is that I am not the caricature portrayed by the media. I am complex, contradictory and capable of great intelligence but also remarkable stupidity. In other words, I am a human being. To me, labels are for clothes, not people. So├óΓé¼┬ª..Please don├óΓé¼Γäót try to define me; don├óΓé¼Γäót try to categorize me; and most of all, don├óΓé¼Γäót label me. Instead, JUST GET TO KNOW ME. And if you see me, just call me Al.”
