Colin Farrell is a hypocrite.

So kissing a man was horrible?
Aw, poor Colin. And poor women, because most of us kiss men quite regularly. We must be doing something wrong then.
Mr. Farrell says he has no doubts about his sexual preferences, which is nice, I suppose, and I even believe him.
But I don't believe it has anything to do with that kiss.

In my experience, there is not that much difference between kissing a man or kissing a woman. Men have stubble most of the time (I have very sensitive skin, I can feel one-hour-stubble). Women are a bit softer (in everything *g*), and they smell different. I'll leave it to you to judge which smell you prefer.
Otherwise, it's lips, tongue, spit, teeth klicking if you are bad at it. Hands that have to go somewhere. Hairs that seem determined to stick to your lip just then (I admit that this problem comes up more often with women).

I often read in slash fiction that men are more demanding and rougher, but i think that depends on the person, not on the sex.
Some people really don't know how to kiss, and yes, kissing them would qualify as horrible, so I'll assume that Mr. Farrell had a bad kisser as a film partner.
But he won't make me believe that the kiss was bad because he was kissing a man.

And the diplomatic thing, the responsible "hey. I'm a star and look how heterosexual I am" thing would have been the standard: It was different, and I prefer women.

Saying it was horrible has the potential not only to offend gay men (can't speak for them), but I think it is pretty offending to the majority of women who prefer kissing men.

At least it helped me to finally decide if I'm going to watch Alexander or not. I think I'll spent an evening at home with my QaF DVDs.
