It’s that time again, the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) are set to air September 12th and the blog-o-sphere is atwitter with the news of Lady Gaga’s 13 nominations. Between artists like Miley “I pretended to kiss that girl but I didn’t” Cyrus, Katy”I keep telling people that I want to kiss girls but I don’t” Perry and Christina “I pretend to be bisexual but I’ m not” Aguilera, there are plenty of opportunities for women to exploit lesbianism and bisexuality on the mainstream scene to increase their own popularity and up the ante on their sex symbol status. I really can’t stand it.
The most famous faux lesbian kiss on MTV was the fake Britney Spears and Maddona kiss, neigh all those years ago. But recently, Sandra Bullock and the married Scarlett Johansen shared a liplock at the MTV Movie Awards this June. While I didn’t see the kiss, because the MTV Movie Awards are three hours of complete suck, I wasn’t pleased when the media flipped out about how hot it was the next day. I don’t want to attack the women individually, because Sandy had a huge shock with the Jesse James white supremacist cheating thing, so she gets a free pass. Johansen gets a free pass too, because, boobs. But they did inspire me to write an open letter to straight women about this out of control epidemic. Here’s to hoping the letter gets out and we are able to stop the faux lesbian kisses at the VMAs!
Dear Straight Women,
I get it – you are hot; your friend is hot; you’re so sexually open! It’s so great when guys pay attention to you for doing it! Oooo you are so liberal and yet so not wearing Birkenstocks and would never actually go ‘down there,” but still so liberal and hot!
I wish that all lesbians were as hot as you and not plaid-wearing motorcycle mamas who hate men and use Natty Light as lube. IF ONLY REAL LESBIANS WERE AS HOT AS YOU! I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU AND, YES, WHEN YOU ARE DRUNK AND SAD BECAUSE NO GUYS LIKE YOU I WILL BE THERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY. Xtina Aguilera style.
However, maybe you don’t have to kiss each other to prove some crazy point about how hot you are. Maybe you can just try being yourself to get attention and not try to get boys to look at you by exploiting and trivializing my sexual orientation.
Xoxo,
Natasia

I agree with your assessment. I am pretty tired of straight celebs making out with each other when there’s either cameras or large crowds of males surrounding them. I wonder if they’d be that affectionate towards each other if no one was looking?
