Actor Daniel Franzese says it’s high time that Hollywood started paying attention to queer guys with larger than a 32 inch waists.
“There are a lot of shows on TV right now showing queer stuff, but they just don’t sexualize bigger gay men,” the Looking star recently told TMZ in an interview.
Franzese went on to say there’s a noticeable lack of diversity in body types in both films and television, adding that “gay bigger people are invisible” in the industry.
With one exception.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Ryan Murphy, Franzese said, is the “leader” when it comes to showcasing diversity of all kinds in his cast. But even even he could do better.
“He doesn’t have any sexualized bigger guys in any of his programming,” he said. “Nobody does right now. I’d be working, if they did!”
Franzese also said he doesn’t buy the excuse that bigger guys can’t be sexy.
“I’ve never had a problem finding anybody to hook up with,” he noted, before adding that, for whatever reason, he always plays characters that can’t seem to get laid.
“All my characters have to beg people,” he said. “I don’t understand!”
Frankly, we don’t understand either.

SOME guys look great and sexy with weight on, he looks better slimmer.

I disagree _ I LOVE BEARS….they look normal! Those scrawny guys with abs and shaved bodies with no pubic hair look like adolescent teen girls. Oh well, there’s a lid for every pot….. to each his own. (that’s all the cliche’s I can think of).

We are still allowed to have opinions and to find some sexy and others not no matter how hard the woke crowd tries to deny people the right to free thought! Many will never find this guy sexy why is that so hard for him to accept?

many do find him sexy, why is that so hard for YOU to accept?

And by the way, if you dont have the hots for Daniel Franzese you’re crazy.. He’s hot..
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Everyone is entitled to a type or types. Unfortunately for this guy more people are into fit guys as a percentage of the general population. Hence any form of entertainment will for the most part play to the masses..
As to those who complain when people state their preferences
I still can’t fathom how this has become a thing. Again everyone is entitled to be with who they are attracted to. As long as they don’t do so in a hate-filled manner stating a choice is not “racism” nor any other new phrase conjured up to attempt to force someone to fit into someone else’s criteria for attractiveness…

He’s a handsome guy. He’s coming to Rehoboth Beach, DE to perform at our annual Bear Week. Looking forward to his show

Isn’t this the third time this nearly exact story’s been posted?
Anyway, I find some bears hot, some average type guys hot, this guy…not so much. Some guys just carry weight better, he’s not one of them.

We are all attracted to different body types, races, and masc/fem attributes. That should be reflected in the arts and media–Franzese is correct. But we also need to stop whining because of our wounded narcissism when someone isn’t attracted to us because of body type, race, or masc/fem attributes. Desire just ain’t democratic. It’s a painful but unavoidable fact of life, hopefully learned in high school.

I wish he didn’t feel he had to made the case so hard, but I do get it. Since we’re not in a vacuum, sizeism does affect gay people just as it does the larger culture. He’s attractive, he’s talented, and he definitely has his fans, so I hope he can just roll with that. He’ll be a hit at Rehoboth and I’m sure people will drop their drawers if he wants some, so don’t worry about the fat-shamers and haters. People who are secure in themselves don’t have to trash others.

Very handsome and very well-endowed guy. This 5’10” 160 lb 32-inch waist guy would get together with him any day!

There’s something about him… It’s probably that beard. It doesn’t suit him, makes him look weird, bigger than he is and “dirty”. He should get rid of it! His appearance would improve SO much.
Josh447
Very good points. Beards fit certain faces well, his is not one of them.
Rex Huskey
is this the second or third piece on this cat? the fact he is obsessed with being something he’s not is very sad and unattractive. he might be a really sweet guy or has a big thick tool….. those would certainly help…some. but alas, he’s probably a bore with a nubbin.
Notindoctrinated
Ohhhh so he just wants the attention given to the people, who work really hard on their appearance without any of the effort… No. If you want that, suck it up and go to the gym like all the others have to.

I get some people are attracted to overweight people, but normalizing an addiction that causes death I don’t understand. We need more smokers, alcoholics, drug addicts represented on tv?
talktalktalk
he’s a handsome man but he’s overweight to the point it must affect his health.

QUEERTY comments never cease to include some sort of discriminatory or phobic element. Many of you will never get it or realize how ignorant you are. Everyone also seems to forget that skinny people can be unhealthy, unattractive, not look good with beards or being so skinny. You can state your preferences or choices without being hateful. Try it some time.
