"Are you f---ing kidding me, Michelle Rodriguez?"

[obamanut2012]

"Listen, I'm not here to judge but I'm feeling like you are getting a little out-of-hand. Not in the way you did between 2002 and 2008 when you had multiple DUIs and legal issues which ended in your being jailed, but more in the way that you are fulfilling the whole idea of "the lady doth protest too much." You know what I'm talking about. You know exactly what I'm talking about because you are ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT IT — your not being a lesbian.

I can't even appreciate the creative ways you keep coming up with to say you aren't gay. "Mitchie likes sausage" — that one might take the cake. But the most recent mentioning of having to "shake your dyke stigma" just really made me cringe and burn my VHS copy of Blue Crush. First of all: The first rule of dyke club is never talk about dyke club if you aren't a member. I don't care what you call yourself — bisexual, trysexual, Kristanna Loken-sexual, sausage-specific-sexual, you are one-upping Kelly Clarkson in the "I'm so not gay I'm offensive" arena.

Now everyone who enjoys your film work tries to look past your abrasive personality when it comes to this matter, but you just won't quit talking about how not a lesbian you are. The only time I see headlines with "Michelle Rodriguez" and "lesbian" are when you, Michelle, are talking about it. I'd be happier if you just got a beard like every other respectable closeted celebrity in Hollywood. Just so you know, whenever you say "I'm not a lesbian!" AfterEllen.com gets a lot of hits from the search terms "Michelle Rodriguez gay" or "Is Michelle Rodriguez a lesbian?" Inquiring minds want to know because you provide them with such fodder so easily."

Interesting article -- it's very short. I was able to copy and paste half of it.

I know this has a lot of LGBT interest, but I decided it also had a place in the FG, and it would be interesting to get a female POV/discussion on this.

on edit: no way in hell am I burning my dvds of "Blue Crush" or "Girlfight."

1. Oh I love her film work. I first saw her in Aliens. I thought she was great. I don't know if she

is gay or straight. I love her work and who cares.
