Jade Goody irks gays with her comment
While talking to the camera as she drives in her car, Goody joked that she's not being homophobic as her mum Jackiey Budden thought the same and she was a lesbian herself. "I think I'm going to look alright with a bald head. If you've got really short har, if you're not an absolutely stunning bird, it's really hard to pull it off, which is why I struggle," the Mirror quoted her, as saying.
"And
you
can
take
the
risk
of
looking
like
a
lesbian.
Mum
even
told
me
that
and
she's
a
lesbian.
I
don't
want
to
be
wearing
Timberlands,
baggy
jeans,
and
a
big
shirt
with
short
hair
or
a
bald
head,
cos
people
will
be
like...(pulls
disgusted
face)," she
added.
However, TV presenter Amy Lame, supporter of gay rights group Stonewall and co-host of gay London club night Duckie, was fuming when she heard the reality TV star"s comments. Lame said: "It's so distasteful, does she really think that's what all lesbians look like? It's a completely old-fashioned, cliched view. Does she really think she can get away with being homophobic like that?
"Plus, she's just managed to offend and insult not just lesbians but any woman with short hair including those who've lost their hair from disease, including cancer. You'd think she'd have more important things to think about than making a reality TV show and worrying about her hair," Lame added.
