Thank you, Michael. That was my reaction.

he's in all of the Twilight movies stupid!! you must not get out much.

Those of us who aren't shallow tweens have no need for the Twilight movies, stupid.

NatalieD, with all due respect, I only go out to good movies. Oh, and great ones as well.

Teenagers, ya gotta forgive them. It's been a very long time since I was a teen, and in reflection boy was I stupid.

I hope the youth that voted for the messiah Obama last time around will be a little more refective next time around.

I hope that those that voted for the messiah Bush will be a little more reflective this time around. We don't need another right wing, conservative nut job for president to ruin the economy and get us into more wars.

Taylor Lautner, I hope you sue the idiots who made the fake magazine. Sexual orientation is a private matter and government and everyone else should keep their big fat noses out of it.

"Sexual orientation is a private matter and government and everyone else should keep their big fat noses out of it."

hahaha...including passing "special" laws...

I hope those that voted for the king Hussein will be a little more reflective this time around , we don't need another "progressive" socialist jackleg to run up 5 trillion dollars more of new debt in 3 years and force more government thievery through like the "healthcare reform" scam and ponzi scheme..

we can do that shyte all day...isn't it cool?

Since when do gay people want everyone to be gay?

I spend most of my life around gay people. Yet I have never been told/asked to be gay.

Another strike against the gay agenda.

Can someone please tell me where I can get a copy of this "gay agenda"? I asked at my local library and they don't have it. None of my gay friends can find copies either. Is it only available to heterosexuals? Is there some secret location that I have to go to to get one? Can I borrow your copy Timothy1Mil?

It's in the Book of Secrets on Page 48. It's in the next National Treasure movie, National Treasure 3 The Search for Intelligent Life. Apparently Timothy1Mil won't get a part in the movie.

Racism, bigotry and discrimination will always exist because of stupid statements like his and any other statement that has to point out nationality, color of skin, sexual orientation etc.... whether positive or negative.

The truly funny part about the People cover, it doesn't affect our lives in any way shape or form. Organizations that claim to be about the news and consider this to be news need to get focused on news. All they are focused on now is making money and stories like this get the clicks.

Pop culture has managed to program everyone and this mind numbing, stupifying, dumbing down drivel is what feeds this current cultures appetite. Your life is reality and TV & movies are fantasy, let's keep it that way.

Nothing like PMSNBC reporting news that isn't even news and who the hell cares anyway? Is this guy supposed to be an actor or something?

Timothy - as a gay guy I can absolutely confirm there is no gay agenda to convert the heteros. I much prefer sleeping with straight guys than gay ones!! ;-)

Yet another straight person who really isn't gay.

Well, no one has said that he isn't gay (or that he is), just that the cover is a fake. Not the same thing.

Even more offensive is the Minnestoa gay community's downright cruel letter to Sen. Amy Koch. http://www.mediaite.com/online/minnesota-gay-community-apologizes-to-sen-amy-koch-for-the-ruination-of-her-marriage/

It just goes to show you how immature and rude some people can be. If the Miin. gay community falsely blamed for exposing Koch's scandal, they should have sued Koch for libel, not write an immature, sarcastic, and downright offensive letter about her.

Still, the fact that some gays will do anything - literally anything - including lying about stars who say they're non-gay (Taylor Lautner) and "destroy" someone's life and reputation permanently - is a serious blow to their own community. Indeed, anyone who does this is despicable and should be slapped in the face (I'm looking at you, John Medeiros).

There are some gay people out there (yes, I've met them) who are downright scathing if you don't agree with their views. Or, the "if you're not with us, then you're against us" philosophy. For example, I, personally, am against anal sex due to possible medical complications and potentially serious results and voiced it, and my reasons, on a chat room discussion about it. A lesbian shredded me up for it verbally, with no remorse, who seemed to enjoy ripping me up...simply because some gay guys practice it.

On the other hand, there are some gays who are simply awesome people, totally sweet and kind, etc. I have gay friends like this and they're wonderful individuals.

However, the "bad apples" need to be dealt with, and they ruin the image of the gay community.

Whoa, Aleithia! Before we start doling out the face slaps, check out my letter in today's City Pages. Hopefully it will help explain where all this "offensive language" came from. I can't post the link, but it's under the Blotter blog.

Claiming that someone is gay ruins that person's reputation? I think that we've moved past the point where it is considered slanderous to say that someone is gay.

Up Uranus, you'd have to get your head out uranus to understand what the gay agenda is.

Aleithia, Just so I'm clear on this--if gay people agree with you, then they are fine, but if they disagree with you, they are a problem that must be dealt with? Who left you in charge of the @!$%#ing world?

you'd have to get your head out uranus to understand what the gay agenda is.

And, pray tell, just what IS that agenda? Please clue me in. You seem to know a LOT more about it than I do.

Gay agenda, black agenda, white agenda, union agenda, corporate agenda, left agenda, right agenda. Everyone has an agenda. Usually more than one.

The problem is, it's an agenda. Trying to convince someone of something. And in this case, you have to ask yourself, 'Is it right for someone to make something up to push an agenda?' Especially when you're dragging some unwilling person into it.

And if you dont know the answer, its NO.

But, if you're agenda is righteous and undeniable, well, any evil and any horror can be well excused in the promotion of how right you must absolutly and undeniably be. After all, my agenda is so important that truth, respect and common decency have no place. The only thing that matters is, I'm right and your wrong. And if it takes a lie or a murder or slander, hey, its all for a good cause. And I can be excused because I have 'right' on my side.

Heres a clue kiddies, right and wrong come with many different shades. In fact, there probably isnt right and wrong. Only actions and consequences.

If Marus Arellious was correct in saying that 'Someday, you will be nobody and nowhere', then there isnt a basis for morality. And that is scary to think about. But who knows. Maybe that is the truth.

When the lioness brings down a gazelle to feed her cubs, seems that its right for the lioness but wrong for the gazelle.

Nature, go figure.

LOL the 'GAY AGENDA', I think their agenda is that they want everybody to mind their own business.

@voiceontheleft

I'm guessing you're a troll, either that or you need to take a closer look at what you're posting about. You completely misunderstood/misinterpreted my post.

Clearly, you're also a rude person. If you don't show respect, you won't get any in return.

Good one, Jenny.

Would he prefer the title "Can't act for s h !t?" be plastered on the cover instead?

At least THAT would be true! :)

I have to say, I'm not convinced this is a fake. Whoever made it would have to be a professional in art design.

The People logo is perfectly placed behind a meticulously cropped head of Lautner, the color matching is exact on the blurbs (when you find a high quality version), the typeface is an exact match, and I have yet to find that photo anywhere else, which would mean it could have only been obtained by someone with access to Lautner or his PR people, lending credibility to the cover.

I don't really care if he's gay.

My bet -- they leaked the cover to test the waters and see if his primary demos would be supportive, or upset...when they saw the feedback they claimed it was a fake. People has a bearing interest in doing what his reps say because, if he does come out, I'm sure they were given exclusive coverage on it, whenever he decides to do so.

It's either that, or someone who's very good at multimedia design decided to waste several hours on something stupid.

I have to say, I'm not convinced this is a fake. Whoever made it would have to be a professional in art design.

Art professionals can't fake magazine covers? A good Photoshop user can do amazing things.

I have to say, I'm not convinced this is a fake. Whoever made it would have to be a professional in art design.

If you look at a higher def version of the cover, you can see that his hair was very meticulously cropped...even decent photoshoppers aren't all that good at that, as that level of detail usually requires the use of a pen input device (there isn't a mouse in existence that's that good).

I believe you also misread my statement.

Another thing to keep in mind, the typeface is unique and the Pantone colors are exact to People's standards (I know because I have worked with them on an ad for my employer, and I still have a copy of their brand guidelines). Try as you might, you'd probably take a month if not longer to get a PMS color match to People's blurbs without specialty PMS matching equipment.

Aside from the very obvious lack of an explanation of how someone managed to get an unreleased photo of Taylor, it is possible that a very skilled person would do this. I would seriously question why they would waste their time like that, but it's possible...for a small percentage of the population. I just don't see the possibility given that this photo is not only an unreleased photo, but obviously shot for cover art, given the amount of touch-ups done on it.

I should add, I am completely against outing celebs who wish to remain closeted. I do however take issue with celebs who intentionally put the question out by being seen somewhere or, as is possible with this cover, use their PR people and entertainment magazines to plant the story then act as if it came out of nowhere. This kind of "halfway out the closet" thing perpetuates the idea that it's okay to hide who you are for the sake of keeping your friends, etc. and hurts a lot of teens who heed that advice.

So what if it was someone at People messing around with photoshop and cropping and all that and they decided to make a fake cover? They'd have all the right colors and probably a few unreleased photos of Lautner hanging around the office-someone decided it would be "fun" to release a fake cover and I hope they're getting their asses handed to them for doing so. If Lautner does in fact in the future come out of the closet, you can have your "I told you so" moment-but for now, why not consider the possibility that it might be an inside job that someone decided to make a joke out of? You really need to get off your soapbox touting the excellence of professional artists and how only they can do something that looks so perfect-how did they become professional in the world of digital art media? They kept practicing with stuff like this-only in the entertainment media someone used it to create buzz and business for their company. Let me guess-you're a "professional" digital artist, right?

You need to get out of your drama closet. I simply pointed out a number of facts without passing judgment on his sexuality, one way or another.

It's called providing a balanced point of view...unlike your shrieking tweenage defense in light of no offense.

FYI -- Had that happened, that would have been in their public statement.

You are the perfect example... calling anyone that disagrees with you a bigot or hater is the top item on the gay agenda. You could be their president, or first lady.

Timothy, you still have not told anyone what exactly the gay agenda is.

I feel left out. I want to be part of an agenda.

Tim doesn't KNOW what the gay agenda is, Tim is one of those sad little children who just pukes out catch phrases he hears on fox news.

You guys are wrong, Tim does know what the gay agenda is. He'll tell us if we're nice to him.

So Tim, I can haz agenda? Please?

We're still waiting on Tom Cruise.

I don't understand? Is Kira gay? I'm not a Star Trek fan, so please forgive me if I committed some sort of mortal sin.

Actually, I know a couple of Kira's. Never knew about the Star Trek connection.

This seems like an odd twist in the conversation. The "Kira" character on DS9 was not gay, and neither is the actress who had the role
