Jessica Simpson's father is gay?

[sydney02]

Is this common knowledge? Not that anything is wrong with that, lol. I just heard on Howard Stern that she doesn't want him at her wedding and is embarrassed of him and that he was gay. I just remember him being a pastor. 
And he had hooked up with a 21 year old according to this.
I had no idea. It somehow makes his comment about her boobs years ago a little less icky.

Huh.

I didn't know this but it makes sense.

[demelza]

It has been rumored forever that he is actually gay.

[sydney02]

As long as he wasn't one of those pastors who have their hate the gays sermons, I have no problem with it. I was just surprised to hear it.

[WOT?*]

Wait - is this the same dad who was a youth pastor and Baptist minister and would comment on the size of her jugs?

Why am I not surprised?

I always thought he was, but never heard anything about it before.

This.

Dude she spent years being BFFd with Ken Paves. And also if she hated gay people that news would have broken long before now. She works in fashion, FFS.

No it doesn't.  Still totally gross.  

[sydney02]

oh believe me the comment is still disgusting. I just found it a smidge less disgusting if he's gay. Don't ask why,lol.

They were saying that she's embarrassed of him coming to her wedding that he's going to act up. Not because he's gay. Of course it could all be crap. Who knows.

Yeah, didn't he come out last year?

Yes, and as I recall, it was punctuated with a boy band haircut and skinny jeans.

Gay or straight, if your dad were hooking up with someone younger than you, wouldn't you be embarrassed?

[azurely]

I didn't know that either, but that first article is a year old, so maybe it was just never big news.

I was not aware he was ever formally out.

I didn't know he had a formal "coming out". I just assumed we all assumed and that was enough for him. Lol

[mx27]

old news.

[noodleskooze]

I don't think she's embarrassed that he's gay. I would assume she took her mom's "side" because they have always been really close, right?
