He likes girls, sooo just Queerty and their straight man fantasies.

For some reason, Queerty seems heavily invested in making Laith Ashley happen

Wow, what a stunning guy. And to think the conservative world would have forced him to stay in the wrong-gendered body if it had its way.

No surprise that minority races are significantly overrepresented in the Queerties.
badpappy
minority races? you really said that? there’s only one race, the human race.

Or that your name suggests that you would have anything intelligent to say.

@demetreus I’m above making ad hominem attacks, at least. @BadPappy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization)

It is racism to discriminate based on race. Furthermore, it is racism of low expectations to deliberately overrepresent minority races. We used to base awards on merit, now we want to signal our virtue by deliberately favouring people who are black, brown, or yellow. The left cannot see the irony that they are the racist ones, rewarding people for their race. 22.5% of the population is almost 3x represented in these awards at 58%.

While I’m no fan of positive discrimination – predominantly because it frequently backfires on the very people it’s intended to protect – I find your standpoint redolent of those 100% hetero folk who demand there be a Straight Pride celebration. We whites hardly have a history of being an oppressed minority, so if your estimate of a 58% bias is accurate I still have no problem with it. Nor do I have a problem with Queerty trying to redress an imbalance which clearly still exists, as proved by your commentary.

@gymmuscleboy. Minorities are overrepresented in this site? That’s absolute B.S. For this one article featuring a person of color, Queerty posts hundreds more featuring whites dudes. We’re hardly overrepresented here.
You just showed your own racism by making that absurd comment.

@dinard38 Not in this site, but in the 2018 Queerties awards. Please go back and read my comment carefully.
@gossipbear You open your comment by saying you are not a fan of positive discrimination yet you conclude with “I have no problem with Queerty trying to redress an imbalance”. Make up your mind! Since you have made this silly “Straight Pride celebration” comparison, consider whether the solution for homophobia is positive discrimination. How would you feel if you knew you were 3x more likely to get an award JUST BECAUSE people were compensating for you being gay? That no matter how good and self-confident you are, people go around putting you ahead of themselves trying to “correct an imbalance” because you are different and oppressed. As gay people, you and I know we do not want society to single us out, treat us differently, or see us as needing a handout in any way. We do not want favourable treatment – we want society to judge us on our merits LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Anything less is patronising, degrading, and only perpetuates and encourages discrimination!

Amazing….

Weird that my comment about Laith Ashley was erased. It was positive and called out all the hateful anti-trans commentary that always pops up on here. He’s a beautiful man and gets my vote.

Very telling when Queerty deletes joking comments that wondered about this person’s private parts but will keep up comments on a different post calling for the death of the President

Hack off your breasts and shove a “Mr. Limpy” down the front of your undies…

That’s a woman, so all you gays suddenly drooling at the pics are hot for a chick. No matter how she looks post surgery that’s still a woman with a clit.

I’m sorry, but you’re not a good role model for anyone when you insist on using an unnaturally large penis prosthetic to proclaim your masculinity. That says to transgender and cisgender young men that even if you have a muscular perfect model’s physique you’re not a “true man” if you aren’t hung. That helps no one and nothing, except Laith Ashley’s vanity. There are plenty of regularly-sized prosthetics Laith Ashley could use instead, so there’s no excuse for it.
