Joan Jett on Coming Out
[?]
It’s pretty clear to the public that rock icon Joan Jett is a lesbian yet everyone is still wondering why she hasn’t publicly come out with it yet. The rocker recently spoke to Spinner magazine and shed some light on that. She says “It really boils down to this: I want to please everybody. I want every guy and every girl thinking that I’m singing these songs to them, because I am. If I make a hard, fast case on where I stand then that takes away a lot of the fantasy. Music entails a lot of fantasy. I want people to be able to go there with me. Some people might think it’s a cop-out. I don’t care. That’s how I feel.”
It’s pretty cleaar to anyone who has followed your singing where you stand. I love you music and the way you totally rock out. You were my first girl crush at the ago of fourteen.
still feel that way and love watching you rock out no matter how you come at it. Keep rocking!

It does matter what your sexual orientation is, but not that it should effect whether people like your music. You let all your straight male fans down who had a crush on you. In their fantasies, they all had a shot at you, and you practically admitted to Spinner Magazine that you strung them along. Why should anyone (famous or not) prefer the same gender when there could be someone of the opposite gender who is interested in them? Maybe there is just something keeping them from asking the person out.
Anyway, “I Love Rock and Roll” was probably my first record. There are many other songs I like from you too. You have always rocked and probably always will! I certainly don’t “hate myself for loving you”!

She hasn’t publicly admitted to being a Lesbian because it’s so obvious that she is. Coming Out is for people you don’t even suspect are Gay. Joan is quite obviously into women.

Shazbatt – It’s just like some egomaniac guy to say that it’s because she hasn’t met the right guy yet. I guess you are that guy? Sexual orientation is not about choice. Just as you wouldn’t choose to be with a same-sex person, why would she “choose” that over being accepted in society? Seriously, think about it rationally.
I say that her sexual orientation is no one’s business. And, just because she is attracted to women doesn’t mean mean can’t still be attracted to her. Rock on, Joan!

Some of you say it was obvious she is into women. Now why would that be? I never suspected it. Nor did I ever worry about it. Should I not like Elton John because he is gay? Who cares what a person’s sexual orientation is? {Other than the person they go to bed with.}Keep on
Rockin Joan! I Love Rock and Roll!

Joan Jett is a legend who is an icon for every female to not be limited by any rules created by men! I love her and she is such a wise woman. It is irrelevant who she is attracted to.
And comment 18 is disgusting but it is the type of muck Joan has faced throughout her career so im sure she cares less. Can’t wait for The Runaways.

Ugh, comment 18 [Punkerdude]. Seriously, do you really have to disrespect her like that? She’s far too wonderful and talented for immature people like you saying things like that about her. Though I agree with ‘nomnom’; she probably couldn’t give a toss what people like that think. >>
Anyway, back to my original point. I don’t think Joan Jett’s sexuality is anyone else’s business but her own, and it shouldn’t be something to be judged on. Straight or gay, her music is incredable. >>

To all the half-wits who clutter their febrile minds with the trivial:I suspect deep down Joan Jett could allow herself to be hurt or stung by your insensitive (read: stupid) references to her sexual orientation (whatever it may actually be), but given her obvious drive, talent, and intelligence, she must be laughing at your obvious lack of mental acuity. Given Ms Jett is also gorgeous, the real issue for these right wing males is they know she is well out of their reach straight or gay. Go back to reading your Playboy magazines in the bathroom…

With all the smut that comes out of mens’ mouths (especially you punkerdude) I must say I’m proud to be a lesbian. I also don’t appreciate attacks on my sexuality. So don’t attack Joan for her being brazen about hers. Its no ones business. Rock on Joan your gorgeous and talented!

I don’t care what your sexual preference is. Your music rocks! My wife and I saw you the first time a long time ago in Columbus, Ohio in the old Dixie Electric Company I think it was called then on the west side. A small venue and we were about 5 feet from you. Rock on girl!!

I saw her in Richardson Tx. back in ‘06 with my girl. The best concert I ever went too. Helped get me through Iraq to think about how much pure rock awesomeness is still alive and well in this corporate music era.
Well anyways Joan you won’t be the first lesbian I’ve had a crush on, But I think your the hottest.
God bless you and continue to Rock forever

Jesus, a girl can’t win can she?
If Gay people announce and talk about their sexuality, they are “shoving it in people’s faces”, if they don’t, then people accuse them of deceit… It doesn’t really matter what you do, the gay bashers will still criticise you for it.
Besides which, do straight people have to “come out” and announce their sexuality? No… so why should Joan?
Joan, you’re an inspiration. Don’t ever change. x

I think Joan is the coolest chick to ever walk the face of the earth. I was a hostess at a night club in ‘90 something and she walked in with an entourage and less than a minute later was walking back out. I said to her “Not your kind of music (it was a dance club. I knew better!)…”. She smirked and said “Nooo.” as she passed by. She is so hawt!She seems to be so sure and confidant of every move she makes. She has great control of her life. Makes a sister proud! If I had a magic lamp (LOL!), I would wish I could spend 1 day with her. If just only to pick her brain! =P

She was hot at 25, she’s hot at 50. She’ll be hot at 75.

Is that Joan Jett at 50?? holy shit, I’m 18 and I still think she’s gorgeous. There’s like no diffeence between the old and new photos, she’s just timeless like her music.
And not that it makes any difference what her sexuality is, but my highly accurate gaydar cannot simply land on gay or straight and be done with it. I sense she’s bisexual but prefers women to put it simply. And hats off to her I say, I mean look at her, she’s 51, spent over half her life in the limelight, and her sexuality is still classed on nndb as “a matter of dispute”. Go Joan, she shouldn’t have to come out like it’s some public duty, it’s her life. It’s not like she’s the kind of person who’d be afraid to be labelled or give a damn about a bad reputation, but Y’know if she came out, that would be like giving in and conforming, personally I bet she gets a kick out of keeping everyone guessing, I know I do.
