And unlike plenty of beefy hetero at guys we’ve meet before, Stt is not a ragg homophobe! In fact, ’s his guy’s guy relatnship wh token gay JD and his burgeong iendship wh transexual Katelynn that bought the hearts of plenty of viewers … and Queerty rears.
” A lot of people the gay muny, that image is so stereotyped. The way that gays are stereotyped, your image is stereotyped, which is: This guy uld very easily be a ragg homophobe.

A straight ally fights for human rights, particularly those nied gay, lbian, bisexual and transgenr people, wh the knowledge that to ny equaly to one segment of the populatn is to dimish all of as human begs.
It always amaz me to thk of the lengths to which homophob will go orr to foster their tolerance and quell a group of nocent people.

It tak more than a sual belief that gay people serve the same rights as everyone else. What always mov me most about straight alli – pecially those who don’t have a close relative who is gay – is the fact that they don’t have to be so supportive. In my ey, whether you are bullied bee you are quiet, different or bee you are gay, bullyg is bullyg.

As for his mns of gay fans and supporters, ’s a symbtic relatnship.
