Who was that young boy on TONYS? — Page 3

Ok, just watched his Subway Hairspray thing on the site.

1. Yes, probably gay, but -

2. Absolutely briliant! Very entertaining.

No...but I've done what this kid is going to do. LOTS of times.

Oh...and Dirty Rotten Guy...you need a thicker skin, baby!

"i hate the stereotype that if youre a guy who likes Broadway, youre gay..."

I hate the stereotype that if you're a guy who likes sports, you're straight.

As for stereotyping guys as being gay, most of the time, many don't mind, unless you want a date with a girl. I say, if she doesn't adore you no matter what, maybe she isn't so hot.

Either way, you gotta ask for a date if you want the attention. It can be a great way to judge tolerance though, so it has it's merits overall.

Only your preacher really cares if you are gay and that is because he is afraid he might be forced to have to choose between explaining the reason for one being Gay and why a couple of old coots were so afraid of them. Really, that fear went the way of Ham being bad for you. Perish the thought! Time for some careful re-evaluation here and our throwing away what is old and outdated I think?

I also agree though, unless the kid has come out, no one really has the right to decide for him right? Nor place judgment on him either, except for his acting and singing, which will be varied depending on your ability to hear notes, so it seems.

Well, he did seem a bit nervous... I mean... you would be too if you were speaking to a Broadway audience and a tv audience of millions (one hopes). He is ...who he is.. (whatever that may be). We know he can act ...and he can sing... Does anyone know if he can dance? So, he's a potential triple threat. It's to his benefit to develop his talents. An actor has to have options... especially with the limited number of acting roles on television /film. He can always try out for musical theatre. Although there is more diversity in television and film, there is still an entrenched environment of homophobia. The theatre world, I dare say, is more accepting and welcoming of diversity. Good luck to him... "that's all I have to say about that.." from RC in Austin, Texas

THANK YOU! He's 12 years old for God's sake! Who cares if he is gay or not? He may not even know himself - he is a child. Not every effeminate little boy grows up to be gay, just like not every sports-loving little boy grows up to be straight. Leave the poor kid alone. He probably gets enough flack from other kids, he doesn't need it from a bunch of (supposed) adults too.

They wouldn't have got that it was a scene from the show, but they would have got that this brilliant young actor was doing a kickass job of 'Good Morning Baltimore'. See, it works on multiple levels. :3

"Fosse76- How would that have been a good idea for them to replicate a scene from a TV show? Everybody that doesn't watch Ugly Betty wouldn't have gotten it. They would just be confused."

It doesn't matter. The scene itself wouldn't have needed to be in context for non-viewers of Ugly Betty. The Oscars do crap loike that all the time. What makes it funny is that there is this 12 year old boy singing showtunes on the subway. They didn't even introduce him as it is, so most people might not even realize who he is.

The Oscars do "crap like that" from movies that actually relate to the awards, not from random television shows.

I hope that MARK INDELICATO doesn't read these posts.

I thought he was awesome, if he went to my school, he'd totally be in my group of friends.
(Sorry to switch subjects)

But you said that you were bothered by him because he was a stereotype. I was just pointing out that you were another stereotype, clearly one you're more comfortable with.

I don't want to argue with you, either, but it doesn't take a shrink to figure out if the kid bothers you on some level it has something to do with something inside of you.

No, of course not. That's my point. If that's how he acts naturally, don't hang it on him because embodies a stereotype. The kid's just being himself. Until society beats it out of him, at least.
