Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir has been rejected from the “Stars on Ice” Tour because he is not family friendly, according to GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation). Radar Online reported earlier this week that Weir was not included in the only figure skating tour in the United States.  Weir spoke to Access Hollywood on Friday…

“It is for real…”I’ve never been invited to do Star on Ice before, which is the only figure skating tour in the U.S., and it’s disappointing that I can’t perform for my American fans… all because I’m not ‘family friendly’ enough.”

GLAAD had this to say on their blog: “To say that Weir is ‘not family friendly’ would be a clear jab at his perceived sexual orientation. Weir is extremely involved with his family.” The blog went on to say “Weir’s performance and costume style is sometimes considered flashier than those of other skaters, leading to questions about his perceived sexual orientation.
