Morrissey: ‘If more men were homosexual, there would be no wars’
Morrissey, the former singerĀ of the legendary 80s band āThe Smithsā,Ā says if the size of the world’sĀ gay male population was larger, it would mean “there would be no wars”.
The 53-year-oldĀ musician hasĀ discussed war, homosexuality andĀ Madonna in an interview with Rookie magazine. He also claimed: “homosexual men would never kill other men”.
When asked the question, āWhat political causes mattered most to you back then, and are they still important to you now?ā Morrissey answered: āWar, I thought, was the most negative aspect of male heterosexuality.ā
The singer then said: āIf more men were homosexual, there would be no wars, because homosexual men would never kill other men, whereas heterosexual men love killing other men. They even get medals for it.
āWomen donāt go to war to kill other women. Wars and armies and nuclear weapons are essentially heterosexual hobbies.ā
Morrissey alsoĀ criticised Madonna, calling the pop star āMcDonnaā, and claimed she wasn’t “loved”.
He said: āIn recent years I saw McDonna live, and no audience member reached up toward her to try to touch her.
āI see this so often with artists whom weāre told are global stars. It is a big lie. Or else, you might possibly be a big star, but you are not loved.ā
An outspoken vegetarian, Morrisseyās own sexuality has been a subject of debate for many years with the singer frequently telling interviewers that he is asexual.
