What are you so scared of? I mean, you must be scared of something if a come-on makes you want to "kill" a guy! If you know what you like, what difference does it make when someone you aren't into propositions you? Women deal with that crap every damn day from age 5! There would be an awful lot of dead men laying around if women were that insecure!

Look, JJ may or may not be gay (however, I still say he's definitely queer-identified!). The main thing is that he speaks about issues that are important to all genders. Hopefully his fans are open-minded enough to accept that fact and maybe look at perspectives they normally wouldn't see.

And I wish the LGBT media would start paying more attention to JJ! I'd hate to see that the gay male community is as narrow as JJ portrays it in "Real Men" & "Fairy Dust".
