Christian Walker, the son of Georgia Republican Senate nominee and former NFL player, Herschel Walker, has taken the opportunity of Pride Month to remind people: He’s not gay.
Despite being attracted to, and loving, men, Christian, who has built himself an online following with his right-wing, pro-Trump rants, doesn’t label himself gay.
“Pride month is starting so I’d like to announce to everyone that I’m NOT gay. I’m attracted to men but I refuse to identify with the rainbow cult. I don’t believe in indoctrinating children. My whole identity isn’t my sexuality. And I don’t go to gay bars. Don’t call me gay.”

If you’re unfamiliar with Walker Jr., here’s a video he posted recently lambasting dads who don’t spend enough time with their kids.

This is not the first time Walker Jr. has stated he’s not gay.
On a podcast in January, when host Hasan Piker used the word “gay” about him, Walker responded: ““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.”

His Pride Month tweet has prompted plenty of reaction, with many accusing him of dealing with internalized issues.
There’s some really intense levels of self-loathing here. I hope you find the help you need

It must be very time-consuming, having to come up with such complicated hatred. pic.twitter.com/b8qU3pACrl

This is dumb. You’re gay. Being gay doesn’t require identifying with the progressive LGBT Inc movement.

I had a Christian joke, but it wouldn’t come out.

Hey, if you’re attracted to men there’s nothing wrong with that. Own it, man. Why the hatred?
— Jonathan Cage (@Johnny_Cage10) June 1, 2022
So you’re just in denial.
There’s no indoctrination of children, you’re the one who’s been indoctrinated to believe this.
No one’s whole identity is their sexuality. But it IS part of everyone’s identity.
Not going to gay bars doesn’t mean anything.
You’re gay. And it’s ok.

And then some people were just, well, a little blunter in their language.
That prolapsed booty hole tells a different story, sis.

Oh girl Please!
THAT Steve
I wonder how many of his followers are just following him becuse they find him as funny as we do.
Mack
Probably most.

No matter what he does, his daddy will never love his gay ass. So sad that he doesn’t see himself.
WesternSatyr
Wow, talk to a doctor about projection sweetie.
godthedevil
I believe his dad loves his gay ass. But whomp whomp
monty clift
Doesn’t matter how much bootlicking he does, or all the other gay/trans tools for the right. They will never accept you as one of their own.
jcool
i guess “door open ass up” notices on grindr don’t count
alexpof
not gay just extremely effeminate
ZzBomb
He’s got those kind of eyes where you can just tell the kid is crazy. I hope he doesn’t have access to guns.
UlfRaynor
What I see in those eyes and hear in the desperate pleas of his voice, is the years of emotional and spiritual abuse heap upon him from an extremely negative, vitriolic home environment and upbrining.
He should be pitied for having been brought up by monsters.
phillycap
It is interesting he uses the logic of one of the most disgusting men ever to have walked the earth Roy Cohn, during the Regan era. He threatened to ruin the life of the doctor for calling him a homosexual. He said, I am not a homosexual. I am a man who sleeps with other men. Homosexuals are weak and have no power. Sad that he’s a walking poster child for that sort of human being with that logic. Mind you, having seen some of his posts, he IS that sort of human being.
skeldare
At this point it almost feels like satire.
WesternSatyr
I know! Imagine a community that tells you that you can identify as anything you want and there is no judgment, only inclusivity, projecting their hatred and bullying a kid who identifies with something they disagree with.
Personally, I’m not shocked that the gay community is full of filthy hypocrites.
white-queer-african
Shame. The poor child is desperately in need of love and affection. Sadly by spewing his BS he is not going to get either. Just deservedly hatred.
WesternSatyr
Wow, you think he deserves hatred for not sharing the same ideas as you. JFC.
What next? Should he be lynched?
IanHunter
Really? He’s a picnic basket case.

WHO CARES WHAT HE THINKS.
HE’S AN IDIOT.

So Gay…Gay…Gay…Gay…Gay…Gurl!!!

Queerty, why do you give this person a platform? Wouldn’t we all be better off if we never heard anything about him?
johncp56
No let him explain himself out of this, has to be interesting ? no lol
scotty
wow. he is almost as “smart” as his father.
that’s a very very very low bar.
WesternSatyr
I’m sure you believe that about all people who don’t look like you, right Scott?
Doug
Could you possibly imagine dating someone like this???

she’s hysterical.

Gay gay gay gay gay here and proud of it, I love men, so shut the hell up, be a team member not a whiner

@UlfRaynor:
I think we all should be a tiny bit of understanding for him. The Walker household does not sound like it was a place for any of our community to be raised in.
That being said. Just come on out Ms. Walker, the weather is fine.
dwick
he’s doing all this for the attention-right wingers are all about themselves
Kangol2
Tragic self-loathing snow queen! What a waste!
Paulie P
I’m going out on a limb here but he doesn’t go to gay bars cause he would prob be asked to leave.
kish
Honestly, I think it’s ok that he doesn’t identify as gay or go to gay bars.
Cause nobody would tolerate him in queer spaces.
WesternSatyr
How’s that racism working out for you? Would you lynch him too?
dwick
he and Caitlin should go find their own little island and leave the rest of alone

Nice, being spiteful & cruel towards a young & sexually confused black male is as trendy with the LGBT community as it was with straight male highschoolers in the 50s.
Queerty & their readers are basically equivalent to Evangelical white Christians, just on the opposite side of the petty, hate-filled spectrum.
whereshouldistart
I can smell your bullshit over the internet.
He and his father are so stupid they will soon have to be watered twice a week. He’s not sexually confused. He says he loves men. His confusion revolves around his belief that anyone with an IQ over 40 will buy the load of shit He’s trying to sell.
After listening to the batshit crazy word salads his father spews on a regular basis, it’s easy to see…
the nut doesn’t fall far from the bigger nut.
mailliw110
He’s not confused, he clearly states that he likes d*ck. Why are you judging him?
Manray
Stfu. No one gives a f about some Nelly little train wreck. No one gives a f about your petty little whining either.
kish
But he’s not confused.
He simply is trying to align himself with a certain group because that is his niche and it gets people talking about him.
And if he has mental health struggles, it is his responsibility to seek out help. It’s not an excuse to spew hatred and lies on tiktok.
He might be a gay black male, but he’s a financially privileged one. He has access to care.
CNY1983
he might be a conservative who likes men but i can assure him that MEN dont like him back. hell never put 2 + 2 together and see who’s looking back at him in the mirror?
mirror mirror crissy, youre not the prettiest… even with those fake blue eyes because you dont have brown ones, just MEN’S eyes, and the empty tubes of skin bleaching cream because you’re not black either, your just a man who likes to bleach his skin.
WesternSatyr
Wow. This is just so racist lol
Georgeiv2
O.K. dont call him anything , ignore him he might just go away . This forum should be used to tell us what is important as gay men. not to waste space on wanabe celebrities who’s existence is of no relevance whatsoever to anyone with a brain .
Boo Radley
I could not agree more.
mailliw110
You could have just said that you aren’t going to read anymore stories about something that makes you uncomfortable.
JClark
Yeah, you’re right. Attention is what people like this clown need like air, and this publication gives it to them because outrage brings eyeballs. Then cue the trolls who want to drag you for reading the article. It’s like the one news station in town when I was growing up that would show the car accident victims being pulled from the cars. It was low class, and people watched. It’s a good reason to stop reading publications like this. The trolls have a point.
powersthatbe
This is a whole new level of internalised homophobia.
Boo Radley
I could think of more than a few things to call him. Gay would not be one of them. But why waste time calling him anything at all?!
Joshua333
He isnt gay because no one wants him, duh.
WesternSatyr
Racist much?
gaym50ish
He sounds a lot like Roy Cohn. Even on his deathbed he denied he was gay, claiming, “I just liked sleeping with men.”
WesternSatyr
It’s funny, from a community that claims to be open and inclusive when do you actually get to see that, unless you are a carbon clone, regurgitating the same ol’ bullshit. I’m shocked.
I thought you could identify as whatever you wanted to be? It’s still the USA and not the USSA, so he still has some freedom.
This reminds me of a documentary I watched about aids, people diagnosed were very angry and kept having unprotected sex even if they found out their diagnosis. It was almost like they were trying to drag people down with them.
Now, this guy, who doesn’t identify with queer theory or the lgbt ideology is getting tons of hate from the gay community, almost like they are saying “you can’t run away from being gay, if we are stuck, so are you”. It reads as projecting their self hatred onto him.
JClark
“The queer theory”? I have no idea what that is. I just know I’ve been attracted to men since I was five. That’s called being “gay.” I could just as easily object to the word “breathing” as this guy does to the word “gay.” I don’t “breathe,” I “take air in and expel it”! And you must not call me a “breather”! Give me a break. Yeah, we can all live in our fantasy worlds, but others don’t have to accept it.
Herman75
He looks like dating material…………..for Milo Yiannopoulos.
Mr-DJ
So, he’s tried CA and then FL. What about the states in between – like he’s famous DADDY’S state of Georgia?
