OUT Talks to Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta: Everyone Is Still Gay

 

And they selected a great picture, didn't they? ... OK, Gabe Saporta isn't gay, but in the gay-press battle between Gabe and his label-owner and sometime make-out partner, Pete Wentz, the Cobra frontman will not be outdone. Sure, Gabe isn't making the covers like his cohort is, but Gabe's post-gay views are probably even more ... generous than Pete's.

OUT and the 28-year-old New Yorker had a phone convo to once again discuss Gabe's wonderfully enlightened views - and the mag's Still Gay headline is apt: was this interview really necessary? I mean, Gabe and Pete can't go on the record enough about this subject (not that I'm complaining): The Advocate's spoken to Pete, OUT's spoken to both of them (Gabe twice) ... hey, even I've interviewed both of them!

 

 

Watch out, Pete! Gabe's making a run for your gay hearts! ... For the impatient, check out my favorite, super-gay quotations from Gabe after the jump.

 

On being comfortable with other guys:

"In my old band [Midtown], we all would always show each other our cocks, you know? Like, our cocks were always out. It wasn't even a homosexual thing. It was just like a bunch of good old boys showing their dicks around. Was that sexually ambiguous or was it homophobic or what? I don't know."

On how he handled a homophobic Cobra concert-goer:

"... They were calling us fags while we were playing. And I was like, you can't fuck with me like that. I'll just make you more of a fool. I said, 'I may be a fag, but I do the fucking around here. Come on up, dude. Why don't you bend over?'"

 

Cobra Starship - "Guilty Pleasure" ... Did I mention I'm in love with Gabe? That lucky girlfriend; she sucks.

 

On being a part of Pete's Decaydance label:

"Part of our thing is we talk on shit on each other on everything. We'll get into shit-talking matches. We'll make fun of each other for everything -- me being an immigrant, me being Jewish, whatever. In a way, that's a very good old boy, hetero thing to do, to make fun of certain things. But hetero dudes never make fun of their sexuality -- or do they? I don't know."

 

[sigh] Come on, Gabe - just dump your girlfriend and make the leap.

 

And I thoroughly recommend the Popnography blog for more pictures of Gabe during his Warped Tour such as this hot little number.
