Connor Paolo Goes Gay for Gossip Girl

Eric!!! Haha, I find it amusing how some people here can feel outraged over the fact that he said “decision.” Chill out, I don’t think he meant it that way. There are a lot of worse things to get angry over.

I was gonna buy them off itunes–

Oh and djDanger, this IS the first season

Am I the only one who thought that Serena’s confession was a bit blasé? I thought the writers were resourcing to some last resort with the whole “I killed someone”.

I think he might have been referring to new studies and arguments that sexuality is fluid, which also find that no one likes to be pigeon-holed into stereotypes, especially sexually, particularly where bi-sexuals are often told they are “not yet ready to admit they’re gay” or that they are exploring their sexuality. Also, many studies do show that, like in everything else, teenagers are experimenting, so who they are at 14, even 18 or 19, are not necessarily who they will be when they know who they are. Isn’t the important thing to accept oneself and others, anyway?

Did nobody think to give this kid talking points before feeding him to the press? People don’t just wake up one morning and say, “I think I’m going to take my Barbra Streisand fandom to the next level and buy a pair of short shorts.” The way Paolo talks, you’d think his character was deciding between ordering a plain burger or one with cheese (though I suppose the more appropriate analogy would be Taco Bell versus Oscar Mayer). I truly hope he doesn’t continue making these kinds of ignorant comments or we’ll be looking at the most questionable addition to the gay community since Anne Heche.

YESSSSSS!! being gay is a decision you make. it is something you initiate. i know we can not help who u crush on but u can definately cut off that crush. i agree with Connor it usually is a phase u go thru. and i know this cuz i work with them. at the end off it all it cuz they dont Know themselves, not sure wat they want.

OMG gossip girl= AWESOME (cant wait 4 next episode)

best line: NOW YOU KNOW HOW VANASSA HUDGENS FEELS

OMG! this show sounds awesome and I really want to see it but it hasn’t aired where I live. But Connor Paolo is in it? I did not know that! He played Young Alexander in the Alexander movie with Val Kilmer, Anthony Hopkins, Jared Leto, Colin Farrel, Angelina Jolie, Rosario Dawson… I love those movies and Connor is hot! None of my friends believed me, but now if they see this- they so will and veryone will be lke it too, but I’m the only one who ‘knew’ him before, so there!

Serena is gorgeous. I saw her profile at a internet community called B L A C K W H I T E K I S S .C O M last week, where all single women are welcome since so many handsome black and white single men are there for a right girl..

I’m not gay but I’m not sure how being gay would be a choice. Aren’t you attracted to who you’re attracted to? And if your attractions fall same sex, opposite sex or both as long as you’re YOU that’s cool! I just hope that now that they’ve “outed” the character, they won’t hang that part of him out to dry. They made such a big deal of someone coming out on the show…it would be lame to not see more of Erik. I think Connor has done an awesome job potraying that character.
(Chuck is my FAV tho!!)

I’ve never read the Gossip Girl books and I don’t know if he’s gay in the books or anything but is so UPSETTING. I love Eric, he’s my fav and I always replayed the episodes that he was in over and over again and now hes GAY. I mean I have nothing against gay people BUT OMFG WHYYYYYYY DID IT HAVE TO ERIC?????? He’s like the hottest guy on the show and I so thought he and Jenny would go out (even though Jenny is the biggest *****..) but yea omg!!
