David Beckham Proud to be the 'Gayest Straight Man in Britain'
British GQ asks David Beckham how he feels about having some label him the "gayest straight man in Britain and the blackest white man."
Answered Becks: "Yes, I like that. When someone said that about me, it made me laugh and I was quite proud of it. To have that kind of effect on so many different people around the world, I was honoured. When people talk to me about being a gay icon I think of it as a great honour."
He also says he'll wear whatever he damn pleases: "Ive always been into clothes and fashion. It wasnt a vain thing, its just that I love looking smart. I dont do things for people to latch on to. If I see something I like I wear it no matter what I think people are going to say about me. I dont do it for a statement, I do it because I like wearing different things."
(thanks robbie)

Yeah, NIC, I like him too--although I wish he had thicker lips...which is surprising because he is from a MIXED MARRIAGE. Yeah, his father is from Edmonton London and his mother is from Hackney London.
Gothca'! I coulda' got Sarah Palin with that one....HA!

I bought FIFA Soccer '09 for my Xbox this weekend. I probably spent two hours trying to get David Beckham and Christiano Ronaldo to make out... but they kept running away from each other.
