So, we all probably know the story of what occured this Sunday to Rihanna and R&B singer, Chris Brown. For all that don't, here's a quick recap:
Rihanna had been dating R&B star Chris Brown for nearly a year. They were considered the newest prince and princess regarding celebrity relationships. However, there has been talk of volatile actions from the beginning, mostly speaking on Rihanna's jealous actions toward Chris and the attention he gets from other women.
On Saturday, following a Pre-Grammy brash thrown annually by music mogul Clive Davis (he discovered Whitney Houston), there was a bit of a crazy action that followed. No one knows the true details of how it all went down, but when it was all over, Rihanna was hospitalized for multiple bruises and Chris Brown was arrested and released for domestic violence charges.
Now, our mothers told us all growing up that you never put your hands on a woman... but then, most of us listened to that a bit too well and NEVER touched a woman, if you catch my drift.
Every other mention on the celebrity front the past couple of days has been about Rihanna and Chris; whether regarding her injuries, his sponsorships being ended, etc.
But... what if Rihanna... was Ryan?
Let me clear that up: if it was a gay couple that had this sort of altercation, would the news care so much? Would it have made this many headlines? What if was Neil Patrick Harris and his life partner, David Burtka? If David was the one in the hospital and Neil had the charges against him, would it make you feel differently?
Sadly, we all know we live in a world where the only news a gay celebrity can make is when they decide to officially come out or they are "outed". So, this is the question for us all; the common public, to answer.
If this was a high profile gay couple; even a lesbian couple that we all knew and respected, would you feel as strongly about it? Would you shrug it off? Do you think the Chris/Rihanna story is being spoken on and handled a bit too much in the press?
Feel free to give your thoughts here. I'll do so later on.
Hugs,
