^^Pretty much this. I always said, if Jon Bon Jovi looked like John Popper, no one would give a toss about guys liking the band. But because he looks the way he does, guys feel too insecure about liking them. Took me a while to realize, that says more about those people than it does about me.

OT, but I remember the most embarrassing moment of my life. I was about 12 years old. I was walking through a mall with my Dad and my sister, and had a jean jacket with a Bon Jovi patch on the back. These 3 teenage girls started yelling from across the mall "BON JOVI'S GAY, BON JOVI'S A FAGGOTT!"

I honestly never was able to understand what possessed kids to be so cruel to other kids.
