I mean, it was pretty much an open secret, but it's still sad to me that he couldn't really express his true self because he was scared of the backlash.

ch ... I knew ppl were gonna attack her for this tho

I mean...she only said what we all knew. But yeah, since Luth' never publicly confirmed himself, Auntie Patti shouldn't have. And Andy didn't make it no better with his qujestion.  :kii:
I think she basically did for him what he was afraid to do for himself.

It's not like she happened to catch him tonguing down a man and he adamantly denied being homosexual, etc.

He was comfortable enough to share his truth with people.

And Patti loves the gays. She tore that American Idol gor into bits for coming for us.  :plzstop: So I think she knows that in her heart of hearts she was doing a favor for her friend by speaking up. She seems really genuine. I see why he used.


yummy

So sads

Elton John and Freddie Mercury were giving a here and queer! :blessed: mess and Luther had to keep his mess under wraps out of fear of niggers turning on him

ya rock muh world.

!!!!

I think that's what makes this moment special. She set his truth free a bit.

It came off as she was speaking for him, not about him. If that makes sense. I didn't cringe.

I def believe her intentions were pure and that she loves him.

May be it was more the setting. WWHL just screams mess and I don't like Andy

KING BENTLEY.

Andy gets away with being so messy


but yea, Patti is prolly the most genuine legend
I def got the vibe that either he spoke on her doing this down the line
like she knew it was ok to speak on

H.#.G.*.Z

ya rock muh world.

Yeah. You could tell she felt it was OK for her to say it.

He must have been really battling with his fear of consequence. Sad.

This is true. En Vogue knows  :kii: Their touring experience with him would be their last.
He couldn't stand Anita Baker either. But nobody in the industry could except Patti Labelle back then lol

GLOCK

I will say..
this will now reopen the conversation on his sexuality

Luther didn't need to come out anyway. Equivalent to jody foster coming out
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw
