I just wanted to come out in a unique way. I was at my friend’s house and thought, what if I just Photoshopped a picture of a rainbow behind me? Then I looked at more pictures online and saw the picture I used, which was more retro, it was more of a cartoon. What if I cropped out his face and used my face instead? People describe me as a person who doesn’t really conform. I wanted to do something different than people just announcing that they’re gay. I wanted to come out in my own way, since that’s how I feel coming out should be. I wanted to do it in a fun sort of way and so it wasn’t awkward.”
–Sean Warren, who plays football for Pinnacle High School in Phoenix, Arizona, discusses the unique way he shared his sexual orientation in an interview with Outsports

I guess he had a lots girls to disappoint…..

Then why the FU*K is he doing the V Sign? :p> Cannot be unseen.
jwtraveler
Whatever works. Good for him.
Derek Williams
Nice!
David Red
Pretty sure that no one was shocked.
BuyK
He is hot but why is he sniffing his fingers??
mujerado
@McShane: Why shouldn’t he?
notevenwrong
A little conceited, isn’t he?
AtticusBennett
i’m glad he’s Out, but….um… it’s actually the opposite of non-conforming to make this kind of statement. i mean, when i came out in high school i had a slightly-similar mindset – but years later i can see it for what it was. humour as a joking “cushion” for your gayness. still, onward and upward. one more out brother.

The question of the day: If a millenial comes out and no one is on social media to witness it, is the revelation still valid?
auntsharon
Is it a generational thing? I absolutely don’t get it.

“Sorry girls, I’m gay. Hello boys, smell my fingers!”
Fvk847
who cares I was gay first lmfao jk no but seriously..call me.
Evji108
what’s with his nose between his ‘V’ fingers. It looks like sniffing pussy, which is def not gay. I don’t get it. Obtuse reference?
Adam-Michael James
Maybe he’s doing the Witches’ Honor sign from “Bewitched”?
Homo Erectus
@Evji108: @Adam-Michael James:
He’s holding his nose because he smells pussy. Duh!
Desert Boy
@BuyK: HAHAHAHAHAHA!

@Homo Erectus:
What haven’t you had Sushi before?

@Homo Erectus: Ok I got it. The ” sorry girls”, and the holding of the nose because he smells pussy: But why not be more mature and classy in your coming out, instead of being demeaning in a way that you think a certain part of a women’s anatomy smells like?
Evji108
@Homo Erectusr: How can you hold your nose closed and smell pussy at the same time?
Realitycheck
@Tackle:
Aren’t we make assumptions? I thought he was pointing to his eyes,
“look at me I am gay!”
Tackle
@Realitycheck: Ok, I guess we are. You could be correct.

@Realitycheck: There’s nowt more likely to make a self respecting gay man look like a shrill little inadequate than references to female genitalia as ‘fish’ et al.

@Adam-Michael James: Before he’s off to the Cosmos Cotillion!

@AtticusBennett: Maybe it’s the opposite of non-conforming, but there’s nothing wrong with that. A lot of hate gets dumped on people who are non-conforming, and that is absolutely appalling. There is simply no excuse for that kind of close-mindedness. And people who tend to be more conforming often don’t have to overcome the same obstacles that those who are more non-conforming do. But that doesn’t mean that it’s a problem for some gay people to be more conforming. What it means is that we need to treat those who are non-conforming better, because they are entitled to the same respect and tolerance.
VampDC
Proud of this kid.
Step in the right direction and breaking stereotypes.
Leonard Woodrow
The important thing is having the courage to come out … not how you do it.
There are still far too many ignorant bigots around who will do their best to hurt and demean you.
martinbakman
Sorry girls, this a gay boy up in here.

@Saint Law:
Come on a joke is a joke…. Lets not take everything too seriously.
Sushi anyone? lol
PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID
You include this guy –basically a non-entity (with all due respect) — because you find his tweet or whatever all sassy and shit..a veritable modern day Oscar Wilde!
And yet you IGNORE the coming out of NCAA champion wrestler Mike Pucillo, 3 times all-american…the best at his sport! No doubt you’ll get around to it weeks after everyone else.. if theres not some irrelevant fluff on reddit about a straight guy & da homesex instead.
Queerty further demonstrates its accelerating descent into irrelevancy. You’ve lost your nose for the interesting and important and timely gay news stories. Fix shit.

@tdh1980: Okay; this wins for best and snarkiest post. Loved it!

@tdh1980: You mean the old saying if a tree falls in a a forest no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?
notevenwrong
And girls should care why?
Way to combine coming out with sounding like a arrogant jerk.
AtticusBennett
@AlliterationAddict: i’m a complete nonconformist.
i’m not knocking the guy, good for him for coming out.
Arcamenel
That’s literally a piece sign. You old farts need to get out more.
hotshot70
all I can say is WHO CARES? I think “coming out” is so yesterday. Just be who you are, and if someone doesn’t like it, they can go.

@Arcamenel: I’ve never seen the peace sign with the hand pointed in and under the nose.
