Gay galumphing

What a kerfuffle among the gays. And during Pride Month, at that.

- Joseph T. Gonzales

It’s a face-off between two established gay “icons”, who have made themselves household names with success in their respective fields (and all the accoutrements that go along with such success, including landing an interview in a platform with millions of subscribers) and other gay counterparts, whose hackles slowly rose as the interview unfolded.

There was Renee Salud, legendary fashion designer, and Ricky Reyes, hairstylist and salon franchisor galore, being asked about their views on LGBTQ rights. Unfortunately, the results of that interview were a mixed bag, some practical, and others, quite incendiary.

The topic of gay marriage was an immediate landmine, with Reyes offering his view that marriage is only meant for men and women. There was an invocation of God, and a prohibition against interfering with “God’s work”. Then the interview touched on the SOGIE bill, with Reyes boasting he had somehow “stopped” the bill.
