Johnny Weir 'Waited for Love' to Lose Virginity

Johnny Weir finally admits he's gay in his new autobiography, 'Welcome to My World,' and the 'Skating With the Stars' judge revealed to me recently that readers should expect candid talk about his personal life.
"I delve into a lot of the nitty-gritty about my sex life, which people have been waiting for, but I wanted to wait until I could tell it in my own words," the Olympic skater
said on my HDNet show,
'Naughty But Nice With Rob.'
So, he talks about his first time? "Well yes, I talk about waiting for love for [losing] my virginity. ... I waited."
Watch our chat -- discussion of the book starts at 1:27.
In 'Welcome to My World,' Johnny explains why he waited so long to speak publicly about his sexuality and addresses the bashing he's taken over the years from gay-centric blogs.
"I'm not ashamed to be me. More than anyone else I know, I love my life and accept myself. What's wrong with being unique? I am proud of everything that I am and will become," Johnny writes. "All the gay websites couldn't figure out why I was such a jerk that I wouldn't talk about it."
He writes that all the pressure to come out from total strangers didn't help matters.
"Pressure is the last thing that would make me want to 'join' a community. ... The massive backlash against me in the gay media and community only made me dig my 'closeted' heels in further."
One person he didn't keep his identity hidden from was his mother, whom he came out to at age 18.
"No mother wants to hear her son say he's gay," Weir says in the excerpt. "Those two words rip the picture of a daughter-in-law and grandchildren into pieces. I felt sorry for my mom and wanted her to know everything was going to be all right. But then she said, 'I don't really care, Johnny, as long as I know that you are going to be happy.'"
Tuesday is a big day for Johnny Weir fans. While you're online buying 'Welcome to My World' for that Kindle you just got for Christmas, be sure to pick up a copy of his single, 'Dirty Love,' on iTunes.

Really? People actually wait to read about other people's sex lives?

Yes they do. It's called porn.

RELAX...i am gay too.
Apparently they do since Weir has been getting asked about his since he was sixteen years old; as have many celebrities.
anybody who had to wait for Johnny's "disclosure" is a cretin.

Um...Hi John...um....you were shocked to learn Johnny was gay? Even though his costumes and everyday clothes are...they are so indescribeable I don't have words...Anyway, it was funny when Johnny said on Wendy Williams..."I've NEVER BEEN IN the closet, Puh-Leez, Girl..." Not my cup of tea by long shot but ya gotta give this "I could give a rat's azz what people think of me" attitude is pretty cool....I try to ignore when he's on TV wearing 8" custom made stilletto heels, Loubaton or whatever those expensive red bottom shoes are...but his confidence wins me over as not a bad egg...can't believe you are shocked, you might be the only person in USA with that......
It's absolutely incredible that no one is willing to say publically that male-male sex is perverse. Well, I do. How about the rest of you, the Silent Supermajority. Homosexuality: in your heart you know it's wrong.

well unfortunately same sex love is celebrated in the Bible. 1 Samuel chapter 18 Jonathan loved David as he loved his own soul. They formed a covenant celebrating that love.
I think probably what you have a problem with is sodomy. Not all homosexuals are sodomites and many heterosexuals are sodomites.
I'm pretty sure David and Jonathon's relationship was not sexual.
who is "johnny weir(d)?

'It' wrote a book? How clever of you! So you are equating being gay with being a 'sick pedophile'? You must lead a sad, lonely life!
LOL, what a moron u are!! All men keep trying to stick their clubs into women too, in that nasty place where de sun don't shine LMAO!! and so do 2 women with certain objects. Do you live under a log??
Besides homosexuality has been around for thousands of years, it's only manmade ideology that has made that particular orientation perverse and wrong, actually it's totally natural.
There certainly a lot more perverted straight men around, who are in reality extremely disgusting!
