Spike TV Video Game Awards -- Gay Friendly?

12/6/2010 2:44 PM PST BY TMZ STAFF
Spike TV Video Game Awards -- Gay Friendly?
Spike TV announced today Neil Patrick Harris will be hosting this year's Video Game Awards -- and the logo for this year's event just happens to bare a resemblance to a gay pride logo.

So we ask ...

The VGAs air December 11 live on Spike.

You know, there's so much more to Harris than just what gender he takes to bed; who cares, this man is a TALENT. I would think you Harvey, of all people would not have gone there.

Wasn't the rainbow the Commodore 64 logo back in the day? It also looks like a Super Breakout board from Atari. It's to make an old school video game reference. Everything else is just coincidence.

Here's the rub Margaret Cho and Harvey were asked not to come but Bristol Palin got a front seat invitation.

That's gotta burn!

Oh come on guys...it's also the color spectrum for Video Graphics Array (VGA), look it up. It's not the Gay Rainbow symbol that they are displaying...it's the Color Band for VGA.

The poll is leading towards NOT a Coincidence??? Obviously means lots of gays are bored at work and excited to see TMZ has a gay topic they can vote on...

so if the "V" symbolizes gays, then i guess the "A" symbolizes the food pyramid?!?! Topics like this are SO annoying... Dont be so gay!!! ;)

As a person who has a best friend who is gay, andd love video games, I dout this has anything at all to do with being gay friendly.

Facts are the old school, retro video game look of name brands such as Atari had that kind rainbowish block lettering on their packages. So the award show is just trying to do a retro look, nothing more. Even "IF" it had to do with being gay friendly, who realy cares? But thats not the facts on it.... Someone who put that up on TMZ should have did homework before this story. They must be 22, and to young to know Atari.

VGA was something before the Video Game Awards, as was the Rainbow.

Yeah! Keep right on celebrating Gays and Lesbians while you mock God. And don't think that supporting Gays and Lesbians' rights to marry and f&ck each other has nothing to do with God. You too will find out when you die just how wrong you are. And don't think you'll be given the opportunity to explain yourself to God as to why they chould do what they do. Like the Gospel song says....."just as I am I come to thee."
