I actually think even his known predilections are a bit performative. Like he thinks this is what he is supposed to be into, so he does it, but any time he describes some big muscly sweaty man and just sorta gets lost in the detail its pretty clear what really excites him.

I’ve heard of this as a feature of narcissism. There’s a difference between being into blondes, and wanting to be the guy who dates blondes as a symbol of status.

Yes, years ago I thought he was asexual (and not attracted to women, or men) because of the very performative (to me) behavior.

What's with people who see some straight guy being evil, and insist they must secretly be gay

It's not the evil that makes him seem gay, weird that was your conclusion.

That's the conclusion because that's the very clear pattern that I and other have heard over and over. Musk, Trump, Bezos, Steven Miller, Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan. I'm sure I'm missing some names but that's just what I've observed recently. It's a very obvious pattern once you notice it

Anytime a straight (especially white) dude starts acting up all of a sudden there's speculation that they must secretly be gay. Especially if they've gotten divorced. Because even on the left homophobia is used as a tool to punish perceived enemies. Leftists just think it's ok when it's someone evil while ignoring the collateral damage

It's weird that people aren't able to be bigots without you gayvestigating them, but yeah it's totally me making that connection

The "all Republicans are secretly gay" shit is a homophobic belief

He seems gay because he constantly expresses bi curiosity

I guess it's a super good thing I didn't say that, maybe find someone who did next time you want to rant about this?

Probably clips like this from a week ago where he starts going on and on about "handsome Oklahoma studs" and then invites them on stage.

There’s clips zoomed further out that show the faces of more of the women behind him and I laughed out loud watching the smiles fall into bewilderment and confusion when they actually laid eyes on said “studs.”
