This week’s NOW Magazine features “Five fearless predictions” for 2010. (Online and in print on page 13, teased on the front page with “City council: Five stunners sure to shake things up.”) Number five is “Adam Giambrone defies the odds,” and it begins:
“It’s kind of a long shot, but Giambrone’s chances of becoming mayor are looking better every day. They don’t call him a wunderkind for nothin’. He’s young. He’s bright. He’s gay. And he looks better than any of his challengers so far.” (Emphasis added.)
He may be “gay-positive,” as Xtra! put it, and he may have a transgendered brother, but Adam Giambrone? Not gay, as he confirmed on his Facebook:
Thing is, we’re not entirely sure if the initial NOW article is a joke—a collection of things writer Enzo Di Matteo wishes would come true in 2010 but won’t. In which case: haha? [: Seems it was a straightforward mistake: NOW has updated the online version of the article to say that Giambrone is “gay-positive.”]
Kudos to Jonathan Goldsbie for the discovery.
