Friends, we have truly come far. It used to be that people who were accused of being gay vehemently denied it. Now, Maxim model Tila Tequila vehemently denies being straight, affirming the fact that she is bisexual, no ifs and buts about it.

The trouble started when the New York Post published an article citing an undisclosed source that Tila currently has a boyfriend. Richard Johnson of Page Six, who describes her as a “gay-for-pay bikini babe,” wrote that she only agreed to do the reality show “A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila” to boost her popularity, as if she didn’t have enough MySpace friends. This reality show is a dating game wherein 32 contestants, composed of 16 men and 16 women, compete for Tila’s heart.

Tila counters in her own blog:

First of all, let me just say that whomever they are getting their “sources” from needs to be fired real fast! I find it absolutely absurd that they would even make such an ignorant statement such as “She’s made out with some girls in her past, as all girls have, but she is not bi at all.”

That is such an absurd stereotype to place on all women and it just shows people how ignorant people can be! The thing that made me laugh the most and how you can tell the “source” was lying was because how they talk about me so called having a boyfriend and they said “He’s like…. 5 years older then her” Just look at the way they talk about it. Apparently these are made up rumors. People are really silly to have so much time on their hands to call up newspapers and make up lies.

That got me. ALL girls make out with each other? Wow. I didn’t know we lived in Planet Lesbos. The New York Post must be a really trashy tabloid to have printed such an article, and only the most gullible of people can believe these things. Tila closes with the following:

You know what? People can say whatever they want about me. My whole life I have been judged so that’s nothing new to me so I don’t feel the need to justify my sexuality to anyone! One minute, back in the day when I was still modeling, people talked shit about me for being “lesbian” for shooting sexy pictures with other females and now I’m too “straight” come on….who’s really the confused one here? Definitely not me! HA!

Attagirl, Tila!
