Justin Bieber is ready to stand up against bullies after a incident in which is was targeted with anti-gay slur at a laser tag center in Canada this weekend.Justin is ready to stand up against homophobia after realizing how hurtful it can be to be bullies, regardless of his own sexuality. Bieber is straight, but understands how what is is like to be on the receiving end.
The incident is suppose to go public sometime this week and Justin hopes this brings more support to his anti-bullying campaign. Word is that Bieber's team wanted the incident to remain quiet, but Justin wants to be open about the episode. He thinks it is important to face the issue head on.
Unnamed sources have said that the episode went down at Planet Lazer, a laser tag chain that has a location in Richmond, British Columbia. Bieber was targeted by an overzealous laser tag participant who lobbed an anti-gay slur at the teen idol. When the 12-year-old stuck his hand out toward Bieber, the pop sensation apparently batted it away and then left the center.
Right now is a busy time for the pop star. Bieber announced Friday that his buzzed-about 3-D flick "Never Say Never" will be released in February. His illustrated memoir, "Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story," just hit shelves. His char-topping music continues to make an impact and the singer is up for four American Music Award trophies.
I think this is a great idea for Justin. Right now, this is a hot button issue. I think he will get a lot of good press for his campaign and help the younger generation see homophobia as a bad thing. I don't see any cons with him going public about the incident.
