Jared Leto's big "gay" comeback

Actor Jared Leto is back in a big gay way. And no, we don't mean "gay" as in he has sex with other dudes—even though those pesky gay rumors have been following him around for years. No, we mean "gay" as in a "totally kinda lame" way. How else to explain the sight of the former TV heartthrob gallivanting around Malibu over the Fourth of July weekend with nightlife impresario Brent Bolthouse in matching plaid shirts with white tees underneath, skinny jeans and hipster sneakers? Oh wait, they're straight. No wonder.

It's a good thing Leo is looking totally shaggable again (check out the pics after the jump) or we'd be totally over him for this. Seriously. We know we're not supposed to use the word in a negative way, but come on, guys, matching outfits for dudes of any sexual persuasion is just so...well, gay. 

Here's Jared using his celebrity-of-the-past stature to hail a taxi. Hmmm, wait a minute, didn't Missing Persons say that nobody walks in L.A.???

OK, so we have to admit: The whole Seattle grunge look looks totally hot on Jared, especially with his lean muscular chest peeking through that oh-so-thin T-shirt. It's too bad he and Brent had to go and do this:

Okay, this is insane.

Yesterday, I posted a comment about your use of "written in Mexican." And now you're using "gay" to mean "lame?"

Did you learn nothing from the whole Perez Hilton fiasco?

I am a gay man of Mexican descent who grew up in California. Your use of these two words in these contexts is offensive and irresponsible. You must know this.

I have my own site, and I often link to the Unzipped blog. But I can't keep doing that if this kind of language is used here.

We are both gay guys who are fighting the good fight together. Why would you use language that undermines that fight?
