A word to the wise: Don’t come for Keiynan Lonsdale unless he calls for you.
Lonsdale recently wore a dress to the MTV Awards earlier this month, where he took home the award for Best Kiss for his liplock with Nick Robinson in Love, Simon. He also attended the GLAAD Media Awards dressed as a sexy pirate.

But not everyone is a fan of his recent fashion choices. One homophobic troll took to Twitter this week to express his disgust in Lonsdale’s attire.
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.
The man tweeted: “dude you gotta stop wearing dresses..Come on!!!!”
To which The Flash star, who came out as bisexual last year, swiftly clapped back: “Dude you gotta stop tweeting me about it & just go try one on yourself. It’s only a piece of clothing & it’s fun ?”
Then he added: “Also allows the balls to breathe and therefore will chill ya out.”
Lonsdale’s followers were quick to have his back. One Twitter user replied: “omg we love a polite burn.”
“Keiynan I couldn’t care less what you wear,” another said. “As long as you’re comfortable that is all that matters.”

That’s when the original troll reared his ugly head again to say: ‘Funny enough 99% of pple who support u on the dress thing are girls.’
To which someone else replied, “Funny enough 100% of the the people don’t care what you think…”

I didn’t know who he was straight away so I googled him. It’s so easy. No need for the irate “Never hear of him” post. Can’t wait to see him with Nick Robinson. Google him!

Back in my youth living in Micronesia, wearing a lava lava was common on Pohnpei especially in Pohnrakiet) Village. The high school boys used to flash a little thigh to flirt with their girlfriends.

He’s…Black?!!!? O…K… He looks something, Black did NOT occur to me. I guess one can claim whatever side of their ancestors and do things to their appearance to look like something else. Anyway…

The most hot and sexy are half black half white I melt and say yes sir
Kangol
??? So what if he’s Black? His father’s Nigerian, his mother was Irish and Danish, he’s Australian. There are Black people in Australia and he identifies as Black and mixed. Black is beautiful!

Congrats on being a racist. Let me guess you’re homophobic too.

Reminds me of Michelle Wolf’s Yogurt for Men fake commercial. If masculinity is all about being tough, strong, and durable, then why is masculinity itself so easily threatened by a piece of clothing?
As other posters have pointed out, not every culture puts men in trousers 100% of the time. It’s only western masculinity that seems to be destroyed the second you wear a piece of clothing or become tainted by using a facial cleanser that doesn’t have FOR MEN proudly emblazoned on its plain black container.

Keiynan needs to show his ball sack to us so we can decide if the airing has made a positive difference… its only fair!
