Pop star Moby, known for his political statements as well as his music, says he'd do everything he could to make his future child homosexual should the singer ever have a family.
He's also blasting conservatives Tom DeLay, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Newt Gingrich as "amoral/immoral" right wingers.
In an interview with Planet Out, a publication geared toward homosexuals, the musician, who is not "gay," was lamenting so-called homophobia in society when he suggested his future child should be raised to be a homosexual.
"As a matter of fact, I was talking to my friend Laura, who sings on [my latest] record, and we're both getting to the point where we want to start families," Moby said. "We're convinced that if we have children, we're going to do everything in our power to make them gay. Like maybe drinking a lot of extra soy milk while she's pregnant, or anything that would work to make that happen. I'd just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead."
On Moby's website, he also said he wonders why Christians in general are so "worked up" about homosexuality.
"I ask this because Christ, at least in the New Testament that I have, never mentioned homosexuality, so we thus don't know what Christ might have thought about homosexuality. Why is the church so up in arms about an issue that Christ never seemed to have mentioned? And why does the church so routinely gloss over so many of the issues that Christ actually did talk about? It just makes no sense to me."
Moby, who once called President Bush a "big, fat f---ing liar" at a New York event hosted by the political organization MoveOn.org, is now taking on well-known conservatives in his online diary.
In his entry yesterday, Moby writes:
"I hope that Tom DeLay sticks around for a long time.
"He's such a profound and continuing source of embarrassment for the right-wing in America that his resignation or indictment would actually work to the detriment of the left-wing in the states.
"The progressive movement needs more crazy and amoral/immoral right-wing politicians and pundits like Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich and Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity.
"Seeing as the progressive movement [is], sadly, not so good at self-promotion, the progressives have to rely on crazy right-wingers like DeLay and Coulter to drive people away from the Republican Party and into the ranks of the Democrats."
Moby, whose real name is Richard Melville Hall, traces his ancestry back to Herman Melville, author of the classic whale epic "Moby Dick."
I meant he should have used Dick - sorry - he he he! And I think your right about dear old uncle!
I knew that.

. . . the musician, who is not "gay" . . .

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
I guess you want your son to have a short life span, too. Good thinking.
This quote is about as revealing as Ted Rall's sneer at Condi Rice that she should be "sent to inner city racial re-education camp," which demonstrated that Rall has no respect for blacks who don't stay safely on the liberal plantation in servitude to Democrats. As far as Moby Dickhead is concerned, gay boys are "sharp, interesting, and smart," and he implies that heterosexual boys are less so if they aren't 'dumb meatheads.' It sounds as if he would be afraid of raising such a shameful spawn even with his and Laura's DNA plotting him out!
I think maybe Moby wishes he was wasn't straight, presuming he's telling the truth (and I think he is). Hmmm, there is a derivative for white people who wish they were cool street blacks: "wiggas." What should Moby be called by such folks? Perhaps, a "straggot?"

Moby, you still need your butt kicked for your incredibly lame cover of Mission of Burma's sublime "That's When I Reach For My Revolver".
<<
Oh, NO HE DID NOT! Say it isn't so. That's one of my favorite songs.
NOw I really hate the scuzz.
What's 200 feet long, purple, and swims in the ocean?
Moby Grape.
What's white, stupid, and swims in moral sewage?
...
Umm, you wouldn't happen to have a link to the original of that pic (without the new face) wouldja? ;)
He did , and it's putrid! Of course, I'm a little biased, being a huge Mission of Burma fan from the very beginning. Moby's 15 minutes are up - take him away, boys!
This reads like a Firesign Theater sketch . . .
SON: But Dad, I love Linda!
MOBY: Bruce, where did we go wrong!
HA!!
Yea, except one major difference.
...Firesign Theater's funny.
No problem. Just let him hang out at Michael Jackson's place.
Moby's not gay??? Coulda fooled me.
Almost...
Is it just me, or does Moby resemble another has-been, bald, skinny, vegan, gay-looking, inflated-ego pop star from a band called REM (Michael Stipe)?
Hehe...actually, without that gruesome head you superimposed...that ain't a bad looking body...
LOL! No, he just made it limp. I didn't think that was possible with that song!
"He's such a profound and continuing source of embarrassment for the right-wing in America that his resignation or indictment would actually work to the detriment of the left-wing in the states.....Why does Moby the Dick want Tom Delay to be detrimental to the left? I thought he are one?
