Rowan Blanchard Sets Record For Youngest Coming Out

Somewhere in Beverly Hills there’s a P.R. maven pushing the shit out of this sexual fluidity meme for their young actress clients. You can’t go two cookie cutter teen TV stars without a speech about being gay, thinking they’re gay, having a gay experience at sleep away camp, or just wishing they had the inimitable honor to be gay. Rowan Blanchard is the star of Girl Meets World on Disney. It’s the reboot of Boy Meets World which made Disney a syndication fortune in the late 90’s. This chick is only fourteen but already putting deep thought into how her sexuality jibes with cultural zeitgeist.

In my life – only ever liked boys. However I personally don’t wanna label myself as straight, gay or whateva so I am not gonna give myself labels to stick with – just existing.

When pushed to choose sides on her Twitter account, Blanchard promptly labeled herself ‘queer’. Strong pronouncements about hating labels aren’t what they used to be.

Coming out as gay isn’t interesting any more even if you’re are gay. Coming out as gay when you’re straight just for pander points seems pretty fucking insulting. A minority of people worked super hard to convince a majority of people that they were born gay. It’s immutable. Like being black. When’s the last time you saw white people pretending to be black just to fit in? Strike that question.

This Disney TV star is only fourteen. She’s probably been molested since nine like her industry peers, but she shouldn’t be encouraged to open up a very public discussion about her sexuality. I might look at a stacked high school senior in a bikini with instinctive interest. I don’t want to hear an eighth grader talking about her preference for cock or pussy. Where’s the preacher dad from Seventh Heaven when you need him? What do you mean he’s jacking off in the corner? Let’s find that public relations honcho and kick her in the incontinent bladder.
