In addition to Reveal, REM's newest album, Michael also came out. Which is a good thing. Except:

REM frontman Michael Stipe has admitted he has been in a gay relationship for the last three years.

Siiiiiiiigh. He 'admitted'? Yeah, cause having a same-sex affair is such a crime, you know.

MichaelMuse: "It's not really a crime, it's more of a fashion faux-pas."
MikeMuse: "I am not a crook!"
MichaelMuse: "I am not a person! I am a free number!"
PeterMuse: "I am not in any way associated with these ... characters."

Ahem. Serious face back on, I'm also bothered by the expression "gay relationship". It may just be me, though.

I'm not really sure why this is news now-- he came out a long time ago. i remember him saying that he was queer on Behind the Music, and that was ages ago.

See, I knew he was gay, too. [I have my sources.] Welcome to Clueville, world.
