Burns flames gay relationships
Written by Dark Lord

pete-burns250.jpgDead or Alive frontman Pete Burns has launched a bitter tirade against gay men after splitting with his husband of 10 months, Michael Simpson.

Burns, 49, whose songs 'You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)' and 'Sex Drive' have filled gay club dance floors for two decades, said gay men were too predatory, emotionally inadequate and narcissistic for such a "sacred institution" as marriage.

The bisexual singer kicked Simpson, 40, out of the couple's London home last month after accusing his partner of being unfaithful.

"I learned the hard way. It's a total joke," the bisexual pop star told London's Daily Mail.
 
"There's a lot of promiscuity in the gay community. I don't understand why they take that union. How low is their self-esteem?

"One's on Hampstead Heath meeting men, the other one's hiring rent boys. Surely marriage is throwing anchor and saying, 'This is where I'm staying, I've made my choice and this is all I want because I've been on the up and down escalator, through the revolving door and I want to stand still.' That's what I expected."

The cross-dressing pop star, who was previously married to stylist Lynne Corlett for 28 years, said he would not marry again.

"I view marriage as a sacred institution. I think two men naturally are predators. Gay relationships are a commercial break, not a whole movie.

"The relationships I'm aware of, apart from one ... it's as though there's some kind of emotional inadequacy or narcissism, where they feel emotionally inadequate and need more validation, from either a father figure or a mirror image of themselves.

"I'm not condemning it, I think it needs researching and help.

"Would I get married again? If somebody knocked me on the head with a nine-inch nail-studded plank or drugged me with benzodiazepine ... No, no, no."

The reason why most relationships don't work, gay or straight, is because the people in the relationship don't want it to. I mean, how hard is it to say no to sex from a total stranger or from someone you know other than your partner.

Relationships can work, but only if we make them work. If us gays, no, correction: if us men tried keeping our d*cks in our pants and only getting it out for our partners, relationships might just work.

In regard to Pete's marriage dramas, I wonder how long they knew each other before they marched... sorry... minced down the aisle?
