Johnny Weir Was Robbed Because The Figure Skating Judges Are Homophobes!

Johnny Weir of the United States skated an excellent clean skate during the long program yet he ended up in sixth place. NBC figure skating analyst and former Olympic champion Scott Hamilton said this was best skate of Johnny Weir’s career.

However, the homophobic judges have their own anti gay agenda. How is this fair?  Weir’s free skate was artistic, he has flair, the jumps, spins, and the transition steps. Meanwhile, the judges favour the arrogant Canadian figure skater Patrick Chan, even though Chan fell on his ass during his free skate. How could the judge’s place Chan ahead of Weir?

Once again, the judges are punishing Johnny Weir because he is a confident gay man.  The homophobic judges refuse to reward Johnny Weir because this would mean they are promoting “homosexuality” in the eyes of these anti gay people! Johnny can’t say that the judges are homophobes but I am saying it right here and right now!

Weir’s free skate was superior to  Stephane Lambiel of Switerland yet Lambiel ended up in fourth place. Figure skating is a subjective sport, this means the prejudices and biases of the judges are reflected in their decisions.

I am sick of the media ignoring the fact homophobia is rampant in men’s figure skating. Weir is openly gay, very outspoken, and a very talented skater.

There are anxieties in society about effeminate gay men performing in sports but Johnny is a very important character.  Lesbian feminist Judith Butler wrote  that gender is  performative in her groundbreaking books “Gender Trouble” and “Bodies That Matter”. Butler argues that gender is socially constructed and society punishes people who do not conform to compulsory heterosexuality. Weir blurs the lines between the masculine and the feminine  in his skating.

Johnny  is very intelligent, he is  very popular with figure skating fans. Johnny Weir deserved higher than sixth place. I  believe Weir deserved fourth  place. I am not sure Weir could of won the Bronze Medal because of the points gap between him and the top three skaters. I believe Weir deserved higher than sixth place.
