Sanjaya sez he's not gay...just a "straight guy" that understands women"
Not that there's anything wrong with it, but "American Idol" fluke Sanjaya Malakar tells the new issue of People magazine why people assume that he is gay (and no, it's not the clip where he was seen hula dancing):
"I've always gotten along with girls better because I was raised by women. I got teased in school because people figured I must be gay because I understand women. I think that's why guys didn't like me – because I got along with girls so well. When I went up to girls they would give me a hug and a kiss on the cheek like I was their gay friend. But I was the straight guy that understood them...I had a girlfriend but she became clingy, and I didn't want to get into a really serious relationship because I was 16. I just wanted to date and have fun."
The kid is 17. I'm not gonna try real hard not to make any snarky comments!
