The Olympics are over ... but that doesn't mean they aren't leaving drama in their wake.Maybe you haven't heard this: Some people are worried that Johnny Weir is making figure skating too gay. We know -- how dare anybody nancy up a sport that involves sequins, shiny pants and dramatic arm flourishes? Control your outrage and check out Bryan Safi's take (he of Info Mania's "That's Gay"), as he helpfully gives us a crash course in Weir Science.
As Safi explains, figure skating out-gays even "competitive ascot tying." So why then is such a big deal made about Weir's fab Gaga-esque outfits, flair for face painting and love of fur? We don't get it. We love you Johnny -- gay, straight or wrapped in rhinestones. Enjoy!

Hello???? What planet are these people from? Male figure skating is gay. People act like this is hockey or football or something. I think Johnny is just perfect for the sport. The campier the better.
