Iggy Azalea Felled

Iggy Azalea can’t catch a break. If you discount the fact that she’s become rich and famous with extremely limited skills and the complexion of the antoginist in The Eiger Sanction, it’s been a rough ride. Following cancelation of her fall tour due to music so inexorably shitty even teenagers are disavowing it, Azelea got booted from the Pittsburgh Pride festival because somebody suddenly remembered she used to use the words ‘homo’ and ‘dyke’ in her Twitter feed before she was famous. One time she wrote that guys whispering in each other’s ears is ‘kind of homo’. Yeah, pretty much.

Azalea defended herself with one of those ‘I used to be ignorant of my words’ excuses, but that’s the kind of last ditch defense you save for the LGBT carbon neutral burning at the stake. The smoke is captured, recycled, compressed and woven it into a rather sleek merkin. It’s unclear why the Pride festival invite invited her in the first place since everybody knew about these Tweets years ago, but it certainly serves as a reminder that the LGBT mothership is always watching Also that there are gay people in Pittsburgh.
