Official Statement Released From Drummer, Gay Scandal
Blue Luster News, May 2010
Recently, pictures have been circulating on the internet with Blue Luster drummer, James Yarnelle, and an unknown homosexual male. The picture does not catch James in the act, however, it leaves one to wonder what is going on in that picture. James has broken his silence with an offical statement;
"I’d like to address some recent allegations and rumors that have been floating around. Recently some rather racy photos of myself and another gentleman have come to light and I’d like to point out that the relationship between myself and this person is completely platonic. No we were not going to Mexico for a “honeymoon” as state law dictates we could not be married. We were going to Mexico to hunt the Chupacabra. Furthermore, that picture of us in front of the fireplace was taken at a recent Blue Luster party. I had about 10-12 mojitos and after about the 9th one, that guy was starting to look good. I’d like to reiterate that I am not gay, but after so many drinks everyone can get a little gaysted sometimes. After talking and taking pictures for a couple hours, he pointed out that he is a Libra and Scorpio’s such as myself simply do not get along with Libras. After sobering up the next day I really regretted taking those pictures and sent him a letter of apology and a $25 TGI Friday’s gift card. All’s well that ends well."
