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."
"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.”
Well, at least we agree on something.
Hehe... Oh wouldn't is be sweet if Mobey had a great lumbering 6'3" inch 250 lb STRAIGHT Son?
The kid would eventually read this quote by his "Father"...-What then?
oh but no one told you about Rumspringa then
Well the upside to this is that there will be no future generations of Mobys. Thank God!
OHHHHH NOOOOOOO!!!!
Not a balding, talentless (ie re-mixing ONLY), overage rave crashing, extacy inducing, ex-hippie is critical of BUSH.
Next thing you know, Zarqawi will come out against BUSH! /rolleyes
Bingo!
A 'celebrity's' mental illness is only amusing for so long.
I'm betting he would start seeing things very differently if he actually followed through with having kids, as well. However, he just does not strike me as a man capable of sticking to a marriage. But, of course, marriage and fatherhood will change a man... usually.
As for homosexuality, I rather hold with what Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Pinsky once tossed out on "lovelines" that roughly 50% were born that way and 50% were molested as children. So if Moby is serious about this he could always hire Chester the Molester as a babysitter.
So his kids are going to be cheerful,we should be so gay!
I knew about that, and when it comes time for that well they can buy there own home electronics. Being Amish they will probably have a stronger work ethic then me, and have no trouble raising the money.
I hadn't known about Moby before this article. My, he does endear himself!
Keep it up Hollywood. First that moonbat actress said we deserved 9/11 and now this. All in the same day. It's great for recruiting Republicans.
What a waste of skin..
listening to him is like listening to a drunk horse.
What a sad state of affairs when a mere "pop" singer is quoted on social and political matters on which he has no clear expertise. But then the press does that all the time, doesn't it? We are forever being treated to such foolishness as Madonna's religious commitment, Brittany Spears' marital views, Susan Sarandan's political activism, Sean Penn's moronic posturing and Barbra Streisand's endlessly tedious attacks on our government. You know, there was a time when 'entertainers' were brought on and off stage with a mere wave of a hand. Oh, I long for those days! lol
So they call THAT crap "music" now? Quite honestly, anyone dumb enough to listen to what this poor excuse for a man calls "music" is probably mentally deficient and doesn't vote (oops.....)
yeah, right. he's as tutti as the ace of frutti...
Yes, the incongruities of the left can be problematic. They even confuse themselves, and that is where the real entertainment begins.
