Covering The Coverage: Vulture On The Road To Homophobia

Oh, Vulture. You hip, irreverent blog from New York Magazine. We know you’re just trying to make the kids laugh with your recent On The Road To Menudo candidate interviews. But when you fail to master the subtleties of ironic bigotry, it’s just bigotry.

Vulture: Are you afraid that if you’re in Menudo, people will think you’re gay the way they think Ricky Martin is?


JUSTIN CONCEPCION, Age 15: If you know what’s true in your heart, it really doesn’t matter what they think.

Way to crack the kids up. Next time you should ask the contestants if they’re afraid that people will think they’re Puerto Rican, too.
