I don’t really re that he’s gay, ’s jt that he seems like they type of gay person that bas their whole personaly around beg gay. Obvly, not all gay people have an “accent” and not all people who have an “accent” are gay, but for those people who are both mps:.
Addnally, as beg gay be more acceptable society, do you all thk the prevalence of this flamboyance will fa and that gay and straight atic patterns will be assiated together? From one flamey gay to another, I want to thank Ross Mathews for his recent thoughtful, measured, and articulate rponse to hateful former alt-right darlg Milo Yiannopoulos's recent dis. The world needs more out, nelly gays the media like Mathews, homos who are as unapologetilly and thentilly as queer as they want to be, bee for lns of people Mathews is an example of succeedg while beg 100 percent te to Mathews's, my very nature reveals my nate homosexualy.
THE ‘GAY GLASS CEILG’ IS REAL: HERE’S WHY FEME MEN GET OVERLOOKED FOR LEARSHIP ROL, REARCHERS SAY
I'm so obvly gay that the owner to my lol ic book shop, which is loted the Castro neighborhood of San Francis -- perhaps one of the gayt spots the world -- refers to me as "Big Gay Brian" or jt "Big Gay. Beg lled out for beg "gay-actg" or "soundg gay" would have wrecked when walkg gay tire fire Milo Yiannopoulos recently held a lghable prs nference about his fall om nservative grace and took the time to sult Ross Mathews, I noticed.
Not jt bee I've always appreciated Mathews's spot the media landspe, but also bee he was someone I uld relate to and intify wh durg a time when I didn't like myself much as I loathe to quote anythg Yiannopoulos says, I will regrettably post his aimls ment here jt so I n speak to the Mathews dis: "I've probably done more for the image of gays the flyover stat than, you know, all the gay chari, gay activist groups, and gay publitns for the last 30 years. And I get emails om others sometim and they say my son is gay and I was terrified he was gog to turn to Ross Mathews, but you've ma me realize actually gay people n be OK.
Clearly as an out gay entertaer he's more than OK; I daray he's let's be clear, what Yiannopoulos is actually attackg is not how popular or accepted Mathews is or isn't.
