Why do boys always say that McFly are gay?
Easy, it's because they are gay.
The wimpy lyrics, squeaky singing, try-hard guitar playing and downright pony songs. They are sooooo gay. Almost as gay as saying sooooo. If they weren't gay, they'd make proper music. Like the Arctic Monkeys or, erm, Bloc Party. But, if it makes you feel better, we'll imagine for a moment that they're not gay.
So, in this new McFly-not-gay world, there is a problem. Namely that some boys are calling them gay (for reasons stated above) and when this happens, other boys will follow suit. Certain truths are indisputable: Jolie is fit, racists are bad, crisps taste good, McFly are gay. It would take some boy to publicly disagree with any of that lot. Other boys would raise eyebrows (or worse still, fists) - and before you could say 'Dale Winton's Glowing Head' we'd be labelled gay ourselves. In other words, we're all as spineless as fluffy feather duvets. We'll go along with what everyone else says just to avoid a beating.
The sad truth is there are probably lots of (well, some) boys that like McFly, but are too scared to admit it. Yes, even those very same ones that turn their noses up and say McFly are gay. He probably locks his bedroom door and cranks up Akon, then hides under the duvet with All About You playing on the iPod, flicking through a copy of Sugar for the latest Danny goss, before settling down to write his weekly column for Slink.
Er. for example.
Slink says: Firstly, we will ALWAYS and FOREVA heart McFly. Secondly, we think that anyone who calls anything or anyone gay in this way is a total loser. We hope you can see that Kev's answer above is supposed to be funny and demonstrate how lame boys that think and chat like this really are!
Please remember: Kev is not an expert, he is just a boy and sometimes quite a silly boy. The main thing to remember when it comes to lads and relationships is to expect respect as the absolute minimum. Find out more about a Women's Aid campaign of the same name.
