Gay magazine THE ADVOCATE interviewed gay sex symbol and also movie director Brett Ratner days before the release of RUSH HOUR 3 – probably because not enough awareness amongst gays that the Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan starrer was coming out. In the interview, the magazine questioned Ratner’s use of many homophobic jokes in the film, but Ratner was quick to defend by explaining that he had a homosexual experience before and therefore it was OK to make fun of gays (good logic Brett)- here’s the quote:

“No, no! That’s from my personal experience. My first blow job was from a man, but I didn’t know it was a man. That’s where that comes from. It’s based on personal experience. It happens to a lot of people,” claims Ratner. “I’m not homophobic or uptight about it. That happens to a lot of heterosexuals. You meet a girl in a bar, and it turns out she’s not a girl. I think a girl should tell you if she’s a girl or a man–that way it’s your preference. It’s comedy. Look, in this movie we don’t pull any punches. We make fun of black people. We make fun of Chinese people. We make fun of French people. We make fun of gay situations. We make fun of whites. It doesn’t matter. It’s the type of movie it is. It’s a fish-out-of-water comedy. You have to have those types of situations to have the comedy. That specific idea was because it’s happened to me. It’s happened to my friends. We’ll get together with a girl, and it’ll turn out to be a guy. The reaction is “Oh, shit!” if you’re not gay, which is funny, I think. Getting into the situation is funny. I laugh whenever I see one of my friends talking to a girl, and I’ll ask, “Is that a man or a woman?” It’s funny, especially if you don’t know about it. If you know about it, fine. If that’s your preference… “

If Brett Ratner is gay, doesn’t this explain Serena Williams a lot better?
