Mikey Bustos is an insanely popular social media influencer with over 880K YouTube subscribers and almost 150 million video views plus over 125K Instagram followers and another 100K on Twitter.
In an Instagram post this week, the 37-year-old Filipino-Canadian comedian made a big reveal: He’s a proud member of the LGBTQ community! Not just that, but he’s got a boyfriend, RJ Garcia, who also happens to be his manager.
The first photo was captioned, “Happy Easter! #NewLife,” while a second photo was captioned “Freedom.” Both included an emoji of a rainbow flag.
Meanwhile, RJ shared his own photo of himself and Mikey to his Instagram page, along with the caption: “Exact opposites, but a perfect match!”
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.
Mikey followed up his initial posts with another photo of himself in a pair of rainbow sunglasses.
“Life is sweet!” he wrote in the caption, adding that it never crossed his mind that would receive so much support sent from “all corners of cyberspace, media, and the world.”
“Figuring out how to navigate life in the most authentic and positive way has been such a long +37 yr journey for me, and at this moment, I feel I’ve reached some kind of karmic jackpot!”
He continued, “It’s 2019 (as my dad put it when I came out to him a few weeks ago), and a great time to be alive LGBT. #FilipinoPRIDE“
Before becoming the social media sensation he is today, Mikey competed in the reality television show Canadian Idol. Since then he has become known for his song parodies and other hilarious videos that feature his Filipino culture and traditions.

What is with the gays sticking their freaking tongue out. It’s not cute. Also, how is this a breaking down of the closet door? He’s youtube famous, no one has heard of him until this moment.

What rock have I been hiding under? Mikey Bustos makes a good first impression but I’m surprised I hadn’t heard of him before. Add a “like” from me.

Other than serious swimmers, only gay guys wear speedos, which in my opinion, show too much of the skin.A loose swimming trunk that covers the thighs looks much better on a guy.

He’s so popular that most of us has never heard about him until now.
My cousin just came out, he has 10k followers on Youtube, do you want to write an article about him?

Has society sunk that low where people care about who is sleeping with whom? It’s actually no one’s business. Live and let live and deal with your own life.

A gay filipino? That‘s about as rare as a Republican a$$hole.

Super popular implies someone people have actually heard of…not this guy, but he is cute and I am happy for him and he and his boyfriend are both sexy. I’m sure he’ll be instantly popular amongst the gays.
