Former Bachelor star Colton Underwood came out as gay during a sit down interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America this morning — you can read about that here.
Now this clip where Billy Eichner tells Underwood that being gay is something he should “look into” is going viral for all the right reasons:
Good advice, Billy.
And oh my goodness, that response!
How about we take this to the next level?

Watching this moment when it aired gave me full body sense memory terror flashbacks to middle school, being asked if I was gay in the cafeteria, at a table full of kids watching, trying to not stammer ?

lol. Um, yeah, it’s really going viral with less than 100K views after being up for more than 2 years.
Billy Eichner is pure cringe. Effeminate and weird.
thisisnotreal
Effeminate and wierd? Seriously? I’m not even a fan of his and even I think what you said was homophobic and mean as hell. Check your internalized homophobia at the door before you come in to this club girl.
James26
@thisisnotreal I didn’t say one word about Eichner’s sexual orientation. I said he is effeminate and weird. So the real question is why you think that effeminacy and weirdness mean “gay.” Internalized homophobe, heal thyself.
Evji108
Calling a fellow gay effeminate and weird is definitely homophobic, not to mention nasty. You aren’t off the hook James26 by just stating you aren’t being homophobic.
James26
@Evji108 Mmmm, no. I’m not on any “hook.” Gay and effeminate are 2 different things. One can embrace the former and reject the latter. Ditto for weirdness. If you think these concepts are all the same and are all interchangeable, then you, my friend, are the homophobe in the room.

Well, I wouldn’t throw Colton out of bed for eating crackers.

As I recall, just after he appeared on the Bachelor, everyone on the internet was speculating he was gay, and just using the “I’m a virgin” line to cover up his being gay. Good for you Colton, but we already knew. You know the old saying, where there’s smoke there’s fire.

Colton is adorable. Seriously.

He is adorable and although I never watched the Bachelor, or even knew who this guy was, I thought his interview on abc news was very sincere, and authentic. He has had a rough time trying to force himself to be straight all these years. In some ways being on the Bachelor was the ultimate beard to hide his sexuality.

Truth be known, Billy Eichner looked deep into Colton’s crystal balls and saw an ONLY FANS image with an OHMyBUTT attached to his tail.

F’n LOVE Billy.
Remember he had all those prescient Kevin Spacey jokes years before Kevin’s sexual harassment claims.

Oh come on….a football player who’s a virgin who looked like that and was also super-christian…has to be either gay or asexual….it was so damn clear from the moment he said he was a virgin on the bachelor

But, come on, guys. Isn’t the REAL QUESTION everyone should be asking is, WHO CARES?
I just hope that when the restrictions are lifted and we can do something besides watch television and screw, people will stop watching crap ke this and pay attention to keeping their minds in shape. When is the last time someone read a book? Now there’s a unique idea.
This crap is embarrassing!
