Christian Walker, the Trump-loving social media influencer and son of former NFL-star-turned-U.S.-Senate-candidate Herschel Walker, appeared on left-wing political commentator Hasan Piker’s stream this week, where he made a rather head-scratching declaration about his sexuality.
While rating the attractiveness of various media figures on both the left and the right, Piker told Walker he would “crush the conservative space” in comparison to gay right-wing YouTuber Dave Rubin.
It was meant to be a compliment, but Walker took offense.
“Don’t call—Don’t put that ghetto g-word on me. I just like masculine men. I’m not a—I don’t wanna be lumped in with the rainbow people,” he said. “Gay conserv—I’m not a gay conservative. I’m a conservative who likes men.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Hasan Piker: “You would crush the gay conservative space…”

Piker then asked Walker if he thinks “bottoms should unionize for bottoms rights,” and he took exception to that label as well. (Earlier in the interview, Piker had asked if Walker was “a top, a bottom, or vers,” with Walker saying he was “not the first one or the last one.”)
“I don’t wanna be even lumped in with that group. That’s why I don’t call myself the g-word or the b-word,” Walker told Piker after the question regarding “bottoms rights.”
Walker went on to say he is “anti the rainbow.”
“Like, I get traumatized driving down Santa Monica Boulevard. I’m like, ‘Get me away from this’,” he said.
When Piker asked Walker whether the rainbow flag “triggers” him, the conservative who likes men replied, “It doesn’t trigger me, I’m just like, gosh, I could never imagine my sexuality being my whole being. No thank you. I just want a man, end of discussion. Like, it’s not some big thing…I don’t need to talk about it 24/7, I don’t need to go to a gay club.”

While one might think Walker’s hesitancy to go to a gay club could be born out of the possibility he wouldn’t be welcome there, he has quite a different story to tell.
“By the way, the g-words that you won’t associate with, they love you,” said Piker, who is straight.
“Oh, I know, they come up to me in West Hollywood, and they’ll be like, they’re like, ‘Don’t tell anyone, but you’re so funny!'” he claimed.
Walker went on to say he “loved [the gay men who allegedly tell him he’s funny], I just wanna let them know, don’t put that rainbow on me. But love y’all, and you’re cool, but you’re not cool just ’cause you’re gay. You’re cool ’cause you’re fun, whatever.”
Hasan tells Christian Walker gay people love him, and he says, “I know, they’ll come up to me in West Hollywood and they’ll be like, ‘Don’t tell anyone, but you’re so funny.’”
Also, he doesn’t find Glenn Greenwald attractive, in case you were wondering for some reason. pic.twitter.com/7NeNV5sprN

It’s called “internalized homophobia” but overall, the poor kid is just sick.

Sounds like a few old guys I knew who would say “I’m not gay. I’m a homosexual.” They were conservative too. But also nice guys. Yeah, just a lot of internalized homophobia.

Sorry to be that person but I kind of feel bad for him….KIND OF. As in a very very small amount of sympathy, and only because when I was younger I was there myself so I know those feelings quite well. Internalized homophobia and self loathing aren’t excuses, but they sure are a real thing and man am I glad I got past that’s stage. Hope he does too someday.

This site is showing some hypocrisy here. You guys have no issue supporting these myriad of male queers who talk down to the “gay” identity, who claim that they don’t believe in labels, who covertly promote homo shame and gay insecurities. As long as they’re seemingly Liberal then these sites and most of social media don’t give them flack and sometimes prop up their positions progress. What’s good for the goose should be good for gander. Ultimately, what identities you embrace are a choice. And we should all know by how diverse sexuality, sense of self, fluidity, ego, psychology, motivation, the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum is. Therefore, if he doesn’t want to embrace “gay”, for whatever reasons, then so be it.
However, he’s clearly full of shit. There’s of course some rather obvious self-loathing, resentments and internalized phobias. But beyond that, if it weren’t for the “I’m an effeminate and non-white guy who says inflammatory shit and is overtly Conservative” gimmick then no one would even know him. It’s the same shit with Milo. They exploit overt “queerness”. Yet, they also want to disrespect it and pretend that it’s not a crucial aspect of their public persona and their unrelenting clout-chasing. (An unfortunate amount of Liberals do the same thing if less directly). While sites like these just help give them that clout with these articles.
thisisnotreal
I like to think I’m one of the few people who will call bullshit on stuff like this no matter if the person is conservative or liberal. I don’t personally believe in kissing anyones ass just because they may be gay, or liberal, or lgbt , or anything of that sort. But I’m also not one of those people who will immediately vilify someone because they are conservative or something that our side has deemed “unacceptable”. Some of the nicest people in my life happen to be conservative and yes some even voted for trump. Personally I just agree to disagree with them and I don’t bring up my viewpoints or stances and they don’t bring up theirs and we make it work fine. But I suppose I’m in the minority when it comes to stuff like that.
barryaksarben
Ok IM a hyporctie because I am 65 years old and have seen these assholes my whole life. Roy Cohn was the first pos who said she wasnt gay only having sex with men, it didnt fly then and it doesnt fly now. I bet this little queen hasnt had straight sex with cis women EVER. He like Cohn is doing damage to real gay people brave enough to be their true selves. If he wasnt being a deplorable attacking us constantly . You can be whoever you want but dont work out your insanity on US. I am sad that any gay men would have sex with this pos. And his father is worse and they adore trump who was the worst president for gays ever so F you on your us being hy[pocrites. I will accept that over a deplorable who is actively harming others. Screw him and anyone who thinks we should respect him. Bullshit
Donston
I’m not at all defending him. I’m calling out the political and sociological hypocrisies we see in the media and on social media. This site has shown support or mere indifference towards many male queers who have gone the “no labels” route and has even shown support towards guys who have directly or indirectly shamed the “gay” identity or promoted internalized phobias/gay insecurities. This isn’t really about sexuality, different people’s lifestyles and preferences and struggles and journeys, or where someone is in the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum. It’s about politics. Either you respect or support self-identity and “queers” embracing whatever they wish, or you don’t. Don’t pick and choose based on politics or who you like. And definitely don’t overlook some “problematic” stuff because you agree with someone’s general politics.
On the other hand, no doubt this dude is a narcissistic, trolling, embittered turd who uses his “queerness” for clout while also looking to shame it. While the media/social media are feeding right into his hands. But these are several different conversations.

No, my problem with the guy is his blatant distaste for “the rainbow people”. I don’t care how he wants to label himself, but don’t disrespect the gay community. Its that simple.
Donston
I was very specific about the type of hypocrisies and double standards I was calling out and the things that the media and much of social media are willing to overlook if they like someone or like someone’s politics. It’s very easy to state that he is a hateful, annoying asshole who says anti-gay/passive aggressive shit. It’s so obvious that I didn’t really feel the need to make that a point. Instead, I focused on something less obvious and a bit more nuanced.
I will say that in some ways I do sympathize with him. This is still ultimately a hetero world and still filled with a lot of homo shaming, hetero pressures, masculine insecurities, even by some out queers. While if you’ve experienced a decent amount of stuff like homophobia, constant feelings of not belonging, traumas, confusions or fluidity then it can make it more difficult to be self-assured and have “pride”. And if you are an effeminate male queer the world constantly reminds you of it and defines you by it. So, in some ways, I get his resentments. Doesn’t make him any less of a clout-chasing, hate porn pushing asshole though.
little Alex
Isn’t Milo supposedly ex-gay these days? Perhaps this pos will end up declaring the same.
RoughRugger
Pretty sure you’re imagining (or straight up manufacturing) what you want to think you’re seeing. I’ve seen ‘mos across the political/ideological spectrum get called out here (and on a WIDE range of LGBTQ+ media) when they try to pull this self-loathing “I’m not gay, I just like dick” bullshit. It’s one thing (and it’s a GOOD thing!) to allow people to define their own sexuality, but that doesn’t mean those people get to redefine the English language. It’s 100% a “thing”…and 100% OK…for someone to explore their same-sex attractions w/o owning/identifying with the “gay” label, but when you’re going around saying, “Oh, I like men!” in a sexual context? Guess what…you’re pretty much either gay or bi or pan, whether you want to use those labels or no. Words DO have meaning, even while allowing folks to define themselves…and that goes for libs, cons, independents, & the politically-agnostic.
okokwhatever
Rough,
What you just described are definitions or labels, if you will, and none of those things can define me really. The only thing that defines me is me. Yes, some definitions by default are true and on point. But some of those though are backed by hard science. Language is not hard science and therefore cannot adequately define a person. And no ONE word can define anyone.
Just because someone supports a person you don’t like doesn’t mean they are bad people and that you should shame them into oblivion. Let’s face it, no one has done us any favors in terms of political parties or politicians. NO ONE has our best interests at heart. And we all know that. NO one party is better than the other simply by being for SOME of the things we deem important. NOT now anyway. But there’s two cents for you to spend how you wish.

It is hard to understand what he is saying, given there is always a dick in his mouth.
Essie
I’ve actually never heard a man say “I’m not gay, I just like men.” I mean, what does that even mean and why would you say that? I guess he’s young and he does have a really stupid Daddy so, there’s that to consider. Maybe after the election he will come out officially.
I like Magic Johnson who accepts his VERY gay son without question and Dwayne Wade who obviously loves his trans daughter. I’m sure there are others. So, there are men in sport who aren’t awful.
charlietex
He’d be the first to join Jews for Hitler. Sure, the conservative movement wants nothing to do with effeminate gay black men, but he has no issue licking their boots. His own daddy wants second class status for people just like him.

Miss I Like Men Thang Walker has the right to call himself whatever he wants. He’s still gay and queer as the days are long! Too bad the people he adores can’t stand the vast majority of people like him (Black, LGBTQ, or Black and LGBTQ)!

I’ve seen a couple of other videos of this guy ranting about Democrats, and he’s just as smug and obnxious as he is here.

It’s very, very sad.

This poor fag needs a therapist who likes a challenge. Use your daddy’s money to find one so you can stop the self hate. Pity
HenryCameron
As I understand the current rules, if he doesn’t identify as gay, that’s his right and his truth, and we have to respect it. We have no right to impose our own definitions on him. Heck, I learned yesterday that we can’t even define what a man is since it means something different to each person, so what does gay even mean anyway?
SFHarry
“I don’t need to talk about it 24/7” he says as he talks about it 24/7 on a streaming talk program.

the gay section of santa monica blvd is a few short blocks and if you take sunset or melrose heading east or west is easily avoidable. he should do that so he isn’t traumatized from the rainbows and flags.
poor thing. how does he sleep at night in his Balenciaga sweatshirts and Vuitton coin purse hanging off his wrists.
you *u*k a man in the a## you are gay. you let him do that to you, well gay.

Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
He is not Herschel Walkers’ biological son. A biological son is suppose to bear some resemblance to his biological father and is this case there is absolutely NOTHING about him that resembles his suppose father, Herschel. I remember seeing a segment on one of the news shows and remember most how his mother came off as a gold digger. I’ve no doubt she took advantage of Herschel because lets face it, he isn’t the brightest bulb in the box.
mastik8
Well, she has very important eyebrows, so there’s that.
chris_clb614
Christian reminds me of a Taylor Tomlinson routine where she describes what the average woman goes for in a male partner- men who are like their fathers. But naturally, they don’t want to have sex with them. Christian isn’t all that different, methinks.

demeroh
There is so much to unpack here regarding this person, but there is one thing we need to remember; this is an example and a reminder that not every homosapien that exists wants to serve a purpose or contribute to society in any meaningful way. He has carved out his own little world where he wants the “right” attention but he wants to make up and play by his own set of rules, principles, ideas, etc…He is not grounded and he relishes that as long as people like this interviewer continues to give him attention but not challenge him. It’s a game because being under the umbrella of his father’s fame and wealth has made him untethered from society. Beware of and be mindful of people like him, but do not empower them with your resources, especially the most precious, which is time.
[email protected]
He is simply saying that he doesn’t define himself by his sexuality as apparently most commenters in here do. He doesn’t deny that he is attracted to men but sees himself as more than just that. I thought that was what gay men wanted…acceptance for who they are and not being defined by SEX
Den
By seemingly ignoring that Gay men build relationships, families, lives with other men (as well as communities and vibrant culture) and instead referencing nothing more than sex, he is IN FACT defining himself by sexuality and who he sleeps with. It is the exact same mentality as that of the straight person who sees the exact same PDAs they engage in without thinking as “forcing sexuality down their throats when a gay couple does it.
Right wingers are amazingly stupid and simplistic, to a person! Anything requiring thought is lost on them.
SFMike
Why even give this annoying little right wing queen any air time? She makes it hard for all of us being a nasty stereotype.
emarell9
Other commenters’ remarks appreciated – I wouldn’t have known where to begin, never having heard of him [??] or the father in question. I happened, then, to choose a video of this whatever-it-is ordering at a Starbucks drive-up window. The flood of instantaneous, purposeless disdain being spewed in the direction of some unsuspecting order-taker was not to be believed! The eyerolling, the lip pursing, all out of nowhere except an apparently limitless, trigger-happy wellspring of outright hatred that resides inside that young(ish) body. Some serious author once explained weaponized effeminacy as a mask meant to attract hostility from others like a magnet, leaving the true individual safe behind the mask, untouched.
So sad. I can’t imagine this delusional creature ever experiencing any sort of authentic human warmth, let alone – gasp – love. As the bloom of youth gets more and more shopworn, those pursing-wrinkles becoming permanent and obliterating the shine of a billion dollars’ worth of dentistry, the rolling-wrinkles dimming the sparkle in once-youthful eyes… what would be left? Bette Davis disinterred? I’m not just being snippy here, not merely repulsed by what I saw on video. I’m actually concerned about this [whatever] surviving into maturity. One would hope the mess of a brain somehow gets unscrambled before it’s too late.

CityguyUSA
I think gay men are obsessed with dick, not men. If everyone had a dick it would be interesting to see if there would still be the same draw to males or if any dick would do. Dick rarely disappoints while a partner often does. If they could get dick without the straight community passing judgement I think they’d put up signs on their homes and open for business. Some have certain requirements for the quality of the dick, how it’s packaged, who it’s attached to, are the balls shaved or hairy, cut or uncut, etc. while others just are total dick hounds and could care less what they are served just that they are served often.
I think that’s what this guy is trying to tell us. He’s not gay he just likes dick and maybe he’s the first to be honest or not indoctrinated? I’ve used that same line at one point in my life but that’s because I didn’t feel comfortable with the behavior of the gay community at-large because of it’s high school like behavior of who’s allowed in and who isn’t, just like those from above seeking certain penis specifications. I’m also not a fan of the gay agenda and would much prefer that the agenda be changed to treat everyone as equals regardless of who they go down on or how many.

I’ve met people like him, and they always made my skin crawl. They always thought they were smarter than everybody else. And that any nonsense they pooted out of their mouths was the truth. Great ego combined with no brains.
radiooutmike
I don’t doubt that he believes he only wants a “masculine man” and the whole I like dick but I’m not gay.
He has not come out as pan, bi or even demi. He has described himself with every word but gay. Listening to him is like looking at a FedEx, only to realize there is a negative space arrow in it’s logo.
I don’t wish him ill. But, the only people who really describe themselves as licking dick and not men are closet cases.
BigJay
The guy is clearly messed up but perhaps there’s a very good explanation:
Being gay is often described as a ‘lifestyle’ but isn’t that a lot of BS? It is like there is one image/behaviour/identity that is promoted in the media and heavily supported by the gay press that is supposed to be the way ever gay person is living his or her life. Fact is my ‘lifestyle’ is more similar to my straight parents’ or sister’s life and values than many other gays except for the small percentage that is my sexuality.
What is the picture that is in every single newspaper whenever there is a gay pride event to celebrate’diversity’? A flamboyant drag Queen in heels, wig and full makeup.
Perhaps some of us are just a little bit puzzled as to why it is always the loudest and most attention seeking individuals who represents our so-called ‘lifestyle’. So perhaps it is no wonder that someone who has not yet come to terms with who they are and how they want to live their life is distancing themselves from this publicly stereotypical image of a gay person, particularly when they grow up in an ultra conservative and prejudiced environment.
